This drop just shows that Toyota can try to spin this but they didn't see the price of fuel going up, don't have small cars to sell, and are stuck with vehicles no one wants -- like SUVs and trucks.
Ford dropped less than Toyota, which is rather surprising.

YEP.
Lexus has been a building story of 'signs' - that could've gone either way.
It's not just about the economy, the credit crunch, fuel prices, etc, etc, - its also about the product.
Toyota/Scion cars are weak as well - the Ford F150 Series just outsold the Corolla and Matrix combined.
