The Camry is still doing pretty well considering it is at the end of the model cycle, and the new one is coming for 2012. It is still the top seller in the segment. I am surprised the Corolla hasn't dropped more, because it is so inferior to the newer offerings in that segment. They were lucky to sell 16,000 Corollas, unless they fleeted a ton of them.

On the Lexus side, nice to see them dropping. They used to be good for over 20,000 a month, lately only about 14,000 a month. Maybe customers don't want to spend big money on a dressed up Toyota anymore. The German brands have stepped it up the past couple years, the Lexus line-up seems so stale, the only new stuff are dopey hybrids like the CT200.

Kind of like the last planet of the apes movie, where the pilot is traveling all over the world and the sickness is spreading...and you know there will be no cure.

The automotive market is changing, and Honda and Toyota are going to have a hard time getting their mojo back.

One of the guys I know who is an engineer at Honda said he'd like to get a job working at Ford...when was the last time someone at Honda said THAT?
