YEP.
This is just part of the story - your comments basically apply to Toyota's ever increasingly larger 'slow down' on a month to month basis for 2008.
Breath taking when compared to even just the industry averages and other numbers that are appropriate - I'll get that in a minute.
One of those 'yardstick' numbers is the overall entire industry number which was;
+ 11.9% APRIL - MAY 2008
- 14.9% MAY - JUNE 2008.
Look at both the numbers and percentages.
