[Lamar]

It amazes me how the Land Cruiser and LX can still post increases.

[Satty]

Has the Yaris had a retail sale? Ever?

[chevelle454]

Typical Toyota, reporting only the adjusted sales to make it look better. If there were less selling days this year then they would report unadjusted sales. Most others report both

[gm4life]

I thought they lost 21% this month... Oh wait they did.

[Intrepidation]

Only 2 best EVARS

[DBeaSSt]

Yeah, they forgot BEST EVAR sales decline!

Okay, I couldn't resist...

Only 2 best EVARS

A random thought. Are we going to see people (with lots of disposable income) buying big suv's just to make a statement? "I can afford to spend lots of money on gas so I'm buying a big suv to show the world" Not counting those who actually NEED a large vehicle for hauling lots of people, like large families, of course.
