We have to buy a car and bad car sales tend to mean dealerships are desperate to unload. (Making it easier for us to purchase...)<BR/><BR/>I do feel bad for the car industry. I wouldn't wish this type of badness on anyone. ^^;D2Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07374465069395396071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4158601016174103420.post-69407488873754815142009-04-02T12:40:00.000-07:002009-04-02T12:40:00.000-07:00I agree: It is pretty interesting.

Also besides the Yaris & xD, it looks like subcompacts are holding relatively steady (given that most automakers are seeing 25-40% sales declines). Not surprising in a difficult economy, but hopefully it reminds the US automakers that a strong compact/subcompact offering can hedge a bad market.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01130464698356250465noreply@blogger.com
