Based on YTD sales, for that to be true V6 Camry sales could be no more than 11% of total Camry sales. Based on past sales, V6 sales are a larger percentage of sales.

From several press reports the V6's in the AltCamCord's amount to about 20-25% of total sales; i.e. roughly 8000-12000 units monthly for the Camry. With the hybrid Camry running at about 10-15% of the total it's hard to tell whether these are incremental 4c units or replacements for V6 sales.

Yikes...did anyone notice the Camry outsold the Silverado this month? Camry-46,630 and Silverado-44,955.......thats depressing...

It's been unraveling for a long time now ... what I saw happening in the 80's in California, I'm observing now in the Midwest. I've seen a lot of older folks in their 70's replace their Cadillac, Chrysler, Buick, or Crown Vic with a Lexus or Toyota in the last few years. I've seen a lot of moms replace their Suburbans, Tahoes, and Cherokees with Lexus SUV's. And young people are 100% import. Once people switch, they rarely come back. The trend says it's not coming back; it's only going to get worse.

One day, when average Americans can't find decent jobs, we'll wake up to the fact that we can't build an economy on debt, financial sleight of hand, and imported goods - we need actual production. But by then Asia will own us.
