    It's over ! Toyota, Nissan, Honda, cripes the whole damn lot... it's over ! Employees in these industries are in for a real shocker by the end of this year... I predict factories closing, (suicides up), early retirement, (suicides up), restructuring, (suicides up), trickle down effect to transport, tire, radio, steel manufacturers... Suicides up ! Brace yerself, Japan is a nation that simply can't adjust in times of dillema... not like the USA. You all about to witness some terrible carnage as the whole auto industry falls apart. Another busy year for the Chuo line I imagine... glad I moved off that... the delays were "killing" me !

    Toyota,Nissan,Honda must shift gear to new market that demands low consumption of petrol/diesel cars and hybrid cars. The change to new reforms in auto industry, will need facing many new challenges in industry. Transportations industry is still very much relevant in world, with population of world approaching 7000 million people.

    June sales at GM had a still-dramatic drop of about 18 percent, as the overall market fell 18.3 percent, according to Autodata Corp.

    Only Honda, whose lineup is tilted toward smaller and more fuel-efficient cars, reported a sales increase for June — slightly over 1 percent. Honda car sales were up nearly 20 percent, truck sales down 24 percent.
