looks like the 'chosen elite's' pocketbooks are starting to get hit too.

Odyssey is really socking it to the sienna.

RAV4, CRV, the cute ute segment is exploding.

toyota sucks. i hope this is a double digit decline next month.

look how many of their models are down. Fine by me.

They still manage to shove "best evars!" down our throats <_<

Best EVAR! for Scion too. Look at that... the xD sold 300 less than the xA it replaced. The entire division is down.... a LOT. If this were a domestic brand there'd be editorials demanding it's closure faster than you could say "Mercury"

Months ago people were gloating that the Yaris was "the right car for the right time" and "an example of Toyota thinking ahead". As if it was pulled out of thin air?

It is just a restlyed Echo, it still has the crap center gauges! The drop shows that buyers are comparing B class cars and seeing the nee Echo as not worht the "Toyota premium price".

It still amazes me that they manage to sell 30K Crapolla's a month! They must be selling at least 50% of those to fleet. I've driven a lot of rental cars and the only ones I hated getting more than the Crapolla were the Sunfire and just about any Kia. The Sunfire is long dead and even the Kia's are probably better than the Crapolla now.

Yaris = Echo = Tercel

My partner had a 96 Tercel. Horrible little car. No wonder they keep changing the name......

Great job toy-Ota, keep up the good work! <_<
