this is a double post, and no it is not something to be concerned about really. everybodies sales are down, the economy is slow right now, so people who need cars aren't rushing out and buying new ones, they are probably keeping up what they have, or buying used.

I think he means no reason to post it here since in the announcement that was posted on the front page is where to have this discussion :)

Sales are down also because people are trying to trade-in their gas guzzlers and dealers don't want them anymore since no one in their right mind is going to take the vehicles off their hands. So most likely the trade-in value for the large vehicles is going down which isn't making owners happy when they need that extra money for the new car or something else.

Dont forget all those people who are defaulting their mortgages too. I think the xB and tC might have something to worry about with their poor mpg in comparison to xD and Yaris. The economy is not as bad as other years though, it's SLOWLY starting to spike back. Everyone including Toyota is just going to have to ride this rough bump. Ones who have to really worry are Ford and GM.
