Someone here said they were right up there with Wal-Mart and Big Oil
in revenues.

revenue last year- right up their with Walmart and Big Oil

Default What Happened To Toyota ?

http://www.toyota.com/about/news/cor...1-1-sales.html

http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/articl...d=rss.business


Toyota sales went down 29.5 % last month, along with the entire auto
industry, due to the credit crunch

Lexus went down 33%

GM has been there before, during the Great Depression- no biggie.

now we'll separate the men from the boys. It's easy to make hay in
the sunshine, let's see the Jappers make hay in the rain.

Toyota Reports September Sales

October 1, 2008 - Torrance, CA - Toyota Motor Sales (TMS), U.S.A.,
Inc., today reported September sales of 144,260 vehicles, a decrease
of 29.5 percent from last September, on a daily selling rate basis.
Calendar-year-to-date (CYTD) sales total 1,793,303 units, down 10.4
percent from the same period last year.

The Toyota Division posted September sales of 128,215 units, down 28.9
percent from last September. The Lexus Division reported September
sales of 16,045 units, a decrease of 33.4 percent from the year-ago
month.

Toyota's global sales down in July-September

(10-27) 04:09 PDT TOKYO, Japan (AP) --

Toyota Motor Corp. said Monday its global sales in the July-September
quarter fell for the first time in seven years due to faltering demand
in the U.S.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Japan's top automaker sold 2.24 million vehicles worldwide during the
quarter, down 4 percent from the same period last year. It marked the
first year-on-year decline in the July-September period since 2001,
the company said.

Toyota had enjoyed strong U.S. sales earlier this year on robust
demand for fuel-efficient vehicles, but September sales there dropped
32 percent due to sluggish consumer spending

Honda Sales Down 25.2%
By John Horner
November 4, 2008 - 822 views



Honda’s press release puts the number at 28.4 percent, but that’s
using Daily Selling Rate nonsense. In simple terms, Honda sold 25.2
percent fewer units in calendar October 2008 than in the same period
last year; which puts them in the same boat as Toyota. Only two models
showed sales upsides: the Honda Fit and Acura TL. The Fit has been
capacity constrained forever and is still a relatively modest player
at 6,478 units for the month. The TL is likewise a niche vehicle which
jumped from 3,421 units last year to 4,340 this October thanks to the
all new 2009 TL. But, Acura has two disaster products on it’s hands;
the forever poor-selling RL range topper and the near luxury mini-ute
RDX. RDX sales collapsed from last year’s already low 1,937 to an
abysmal 647 units. Back over at the Honda brand, one surprise in the
numbers is the collapse of Accord sales, down from 30,936 to only
19,783, a 36 percent drop in Honda’s #1 selling product. The Odyssey,
Element and MDX also all posted larger than average declines. However,
for some reason the Ridgeline’s fall was a little less than the
average falloff. Cash on the hood effect? Year to date, Honda is still
up slightly over 2007, but that record seems likely to fall over these
next two months. During the first half of 2008 Honda seemed to be
playing in a different ballpark than the rest of the US auto business.
But from summer on they have regressed to the mean. But hey, there is
one fun-fact buried in the numbers: Honda took sales credit for one
unit of the FCX Clarity hydrogen fuel cell vehicle. I wonder who the
lucky customer is?

U.S. Keeping Honda Sales Down

Posted Thu Mar 20, 11:12 am ET
Posted By: Paul Raman, CFA

Honda Motor Company (HMC) is expanding its business in Asia, growing
its global network to increase efficiency and introducing new products
to satisfy local markets. Further, capacity expansion plans in Asia, a
new sales strategy in Japan, and the proposed launch of Acura in Japan
inspire optimism about Honda's future prospects. Strong sales in the
emerging markets and cost-cutting also helped lift the car maker's
quarterly profit.

However, unfavorable currency exchange rates, flat-to-lower sales in
its key markets (North America), and increased competition will
threaten HMC's global competitive position. Therefore, we maintain our
Hold rating with a six-month target price of $28.50.

Currently, ADRs of Honda Motor Co. are trading at 7.9x our 2008 EPADR
estimate of $3.46. We believe Honda's stock has a further upside,
given its technological leadership and global production capabilities
that enable it to continually provide its customers with cutting-edge
products designed for their unique local needs. However, volatile
crude prices and intensifying competition are some factors that may
lower volumes.

Bush, Obama, and Congress are working with the Michigan governor to
infuse $75 billion in aid to the Big Three. Bush and Congress
already gave them $25 billion

Too bad the Jappers aren't getting any taxpayer help...gee, wonder why
not ?

BWAHAHAHAHAAH !!!

looks like the US Government doesn't like Japper cars too much..

well, that figures... (laughter...)

so GM, Ford, Chrysler will ride out the recession, while Toyota and
Honda fend for themselves, and wither on the vine, like the Jappers
they are

That was the Bushies who brought in the Sub-burp-ans. They'll be gone
soon, be sure of that.

See how fast Charlie Nudo of Drums, PA can make a total idiot out of
himself?

Meanwhile, Charlie Nudo is still reeling from the Big Oil money grab
that suddenly went away around election time. Regular was $2.25 here
yesterday...lower than in Philadelphia.
