That's just because they've now been accumulating for 4 years. Even if the lastest sales have tumbled, we're still seeing all the '07's-'10's together.

when gas goes 4+$ Gal. and stays there and does not go down again but only up, this time for good.
small car sales will go way up again, soon enough.
. Only a matter of time before something occurs to make gas prices spike again and the recession gets worse . CHINA car sales have passed us . Thus their thirst will increase . My other 1/2s' sister says she'll buy another FORD Explorer because it's safer than a smaller car . She was paying $100 a week for gas when it was at its peak . She would have to ask relatives for money to fill the tank to get to work . Her payment is over $600 a month . Some people will never learn .

We moved from an Avalon to a Yaris just this month. While everywhere I look I see Tahoes and other Yank Tanks, it's fine and dandy with me that I can bypass the gas stations while they stand there filling up for $100. Nah. I'll save my money for something more important than gasoline. We changed model for a couple of reasons, but one of them was the gas savings.

We kept our Avalon for 9 years. I did some calculating, and if we keep the Yari for that long, we will almost be getting the Yaris for free, due to the savings in gas over the 9 years we drove the Avalon. We drove it around 150,000 miles in those years, with about 500 fillups.

I'll take an "almost" free car any day.

Another reason for slower sales is probably the fact that this car is nearing the end of its design cycle. Many of the other subcompacts have recently been redesigned or are new. However, Toyota has already sold 22,000+, which still isn't too bad.

The amazing thing to me is how most of the the car makers' numbers were up. However, people are again starting to buy bigger CUVs and SUVs. Small cars, as you can see, however, are quite a ways down despite having more choices than in recent memory. Americans have short memories. Gas is $3.06 a gallon here.
Gee, NO TOYOTA should rattle !!!!!
Toyota should be synonym of quality


And that's why Toyota is falling back to competitors, because they don't put the quality they used to have.

I wonder if my car rattles. I'm nearly deaf cause of constant loud music.

Or maybe people thought their Toyota will unexpectedly accelerate into walls.

Then eventually find out that most cases, people didn't bother hitting their brakes.
