which is why I said it was and LOL I don't think that they cut way back on production as much as I think that this is just the way that things ended up with them being so far down. A 6% increase isn't really that big if you ask me esp. when your sales are down by 20-40% as it could have ended up with way because of the vehicles that are down more happen to be the ones that are produced in Japan.
And this also explains why their profit has fallen so much because the models produced in Japan are more profitable due to currency exchange rates.
