Toyota may be hitting a brick wall up here. The Corolla is tired and both the Mazda 3 and Sentra are poised to steal sales away from it. The Yaris has done well, but now has better competition from the Versa, etc. The Tundra will not sell exceptionally well up here for the same reason the Silverado doesn't - $4 a gallon gas. What is very interesting is that many Toyota dealers have undergone $$million$$ renovations at a time when their sales may finally be hitting a plateau.
