My neighborhood dealership has only sold 3 new Tundras in a week while over 60 of them are rotting on the lot.
The big 3 are also taking a hit on sales of their big trucks.
If Toyota was smart, they would expand their hybrid line up on the lower priced cars like: Yaris, Corolla and not on Premium models like Highlander or a $27,000 hybrid Camry, not including dealer mark ups.
If they were smart, they'd pump hybrid technology into smaller cars not pigs like an SUV or a big 4 door sedan.
Honda is hard at work to mass producing Hybrids. Basically they're shooting for a hybrid vehicle to sell for under $15,000. When that happens, people will line up for blocks to buy one.
Wow, build a limited number of vehicles for a loss. Some perspective of yours.

The 2006 Tundra was a 7/8ths truck.
Wow, so honda is "hard at work producing mass hybrids" I guess that is why they are taking it out of the Accord?
Meanwhile Toyota has 3 hybrid models out now, and plan by 7 years to have a hybrid in EVERY type of vehicle they make, including the Tundra.
"if Toyota was smart" Ha, you don't hear that much these days.
You don't follow automotive news much do you.
" Wow, build a limited number of vehicles for a loss. "
And you definately don't understand the automotive industry.
