Only 13000 units seperate the top four cars so the Yaris is still selling well comparatively.
I am surprised the Kia Soul did so poorly considering the money spent advertising it. The even uglier Nissan Cube did even worse. What is most troubling (as a Toyota Shareholder) is how poorly the Scion line is doing. I would have hoped a Scion would have been in the range with Kia Soul and Nissan Cube. Toyota screwed up the XB when they changed it and the XD is pretty mainstream. I am glad the Government Motors cars did so poorly
Gasoline prices can not stay at current levels. The dollar is very weak and likely to stay that way. When the world economy starts to improve, demand for oil will rise. With a weak dollar and OPEC talking about selling oil in nondollar currencies, the price will increase. Demand for small cars and hybrids will increase.
