It seems like the automotive industry is deteriorating over time. Reports of sales falls are usual nowadays, particularly in the United States where the economy has slowed down. Autoweek.com reports that March auto sales have left down by 12.0 percent to 1.36 million vehicles.
Toyota Motor Sales U.S.A. is among the decliners in this unfavorable situation with a 10.3 percent drop in sales last month. The plunge has prompted Toyota officials to revise its 2008 sales forecast. While Toyota performed poorly with its trucks and SUVs, it did well with its cars such as Camry and Prius that registered good sales.
If we’ll try to look at the bright side of things, we could see that Toyota is just slightly affected here. First, its cars are export. Second, its truck and SUV problems are also problems of the rest of automakers. So I guess there’s really not much to worry about. They could for all time make up for the lost with a new marketing approach, anyhow.
