Oh, its been merged.

Starts the twelth post down in this thread:

Asian Automakers See Sales Drops, Profits Squeezed

And the attempt to start it again has been as well

Super.

Since this is the third month in a row that Toyota has fallen below analysts expectations and the tenth month out of the last twelve with declining sales performance (month over month ) it seems a separate thread for Toyota would be warranted.

We are still doing that aren't we - discussing Toyota's deepening failure - independent of the other Asian makes who are in fact, as a group - doing better ????

This has nothing to do with GMI; which is what this forum is here for.

If you are on here to promote your hatred for Toyota, by all means rethink that as most of us do not care. Many people on here do not like Toyota, but they don't go around polluting every thread about it.

He wasn't reposting. He was asking where his thread went.
