when you have an industry with a license to steal it's not only possible it's probable. the oil industry is killing the auto industry by virtue of nobody being able to afford a new car while paying for everything else in their life being inflated by the oil industry.
why are honda and toyota still profitable in domestic sales then?  yes, we've beaten this horse into oblivion already |

you'd think a phd would be able to read.  from your link, Toyota Motor Sales (TMS), U.S.A., Inc., today reported July sales of 197,424 vehicles, a decrease of 18.7 percent from last July, on a daily selling rate basis.
The Toyota Division posted July sales of 175,242 units, a decrease of 17.9 percent from last July. The Lexus Division reported July sales of 22,182 units, a decrease of 24.6 percent from the year-ago month. you'd think 1 month does not make a conclusive year make. and as for reading, please read the data sheet at the bottom regarding cars which was the word YOU used to begin with  CURRENT MONTH----- --CALENDAR YEAR TO DATE-- DSR % DSR % 2008 2007 CHG 2008 2007 CHG TOTAL TOYOTA DIV. PASS. CAR 114,880 112,153 -5.4 795,682 794,459 -0.4TOTAL LEXUS PASS. CAR 13,219 16,755 -27.2 94,478 115,665 -18.8 TOTAL TOYOTA PASS. CAR 128,099 128,908 -8.3 890,160 910,124 -2.7[/qoute] so lexus is hurting them a bit, as are trucks/etc. however, toyota's new car sales are doing just as well as last year (-.4% is negligible i would say) never enter a semantics game with me  |

Yikes. I'm quite comfortable with aske's biases - but it does crack me up to no end when he claims he doesn't have them |

For the record, it's always sort of puzzled me why a guy whose livelihood pretty much hinges on a strong economy derives such pleasure out of the fact that it's tanking, perhaps it's sort of bizarre reverse-schadenfreude. But I've never quite understood Norwegian black metal and corpse paint either. I always figured aske just marches to the beat of a different double bass drum.

Hmmmm. I guess I'm in left field again. I always thought he was reveling in the fact that he was right, in predicting it. |
