Is that year over year or just December to January? Maybe January is always a dip from December. -- nm* - Mop Feb 1, 08:13 2
- these are monthly #'s. January is usually a good month. All 3 were expecting increases -- nm - decline Feb 1, 08:14 1
  - Those numbers are bad. Expecting an increase and getting numbers like that is worse. -- nm - Mop Feb 1, 08:15
The American companies dropped less than the foreign one. Trump power! -- nm - Inigo Feb 1, 07:56
wow. that toyota number is... -11.3%. -- nm - university of amanda jones Feb 1, 07:53 9
- (wow) Lexus posted January sales of 15,572 vehicles, down 25.6% -- nm - decline Feb 1, 08:06 3
  - that is huge -- nm - Epiphany Feb 1, 08:16
  - that's really weird. is that US sales only? -- nm - university of amanda jones Feb 1, 08:07 1
    - yup, just US -- nm - decline Feb 1, 08:07
- I'm trying to figure out why? -- nm - ty97 Feb 1, 07:54 4
  - Because December was higher? "cooling in demand following brisk sales in the prior month" -- (link) - mara Feb 1, 07:56 3
    - Should have been clearer: why is Toyota's number so much worse? -- nm - ty97 Feb 1, 07:57 2
      - Toyota is saying a combo of strong December #'s and limited availability in Jan for some of their smaller trucks -- nm - decline Feb 1, 08:07 1
        
        yeah, I wondered if it might be supply-related. maybe they underestimated demand? -- nm - university of amanda jones Feb 1, 08:10
