Very, very, very true. It's just the reality of things. Some companies are in a slightly better spot because of the way they operate and lower expenses but almost all of the manufacturers are having a hard time due to low sales.

So dom6698, you want us to call you a visionary or what? As the other two posters mentioned: it's a bad time for all makers so nothing exceptional and nothing to do with the fact they were growing up until last year. And secondly after about 50 years without big losses, it is getting difficult to keep doing better. So the odds on your statement were not that low.

Toyota always had lower sales volumes in Europe... They never had a best seller here ever! It was only the Asian and US markets that propped them up

They say it is harder to keep growth at the top then to reach the top. Given the circumstances of the global economy it must have gotten even tougher. It is amazing to think that their sales figures indicate that most people that buy cars indeed do not care about excitement when it comes to choosing a car!
