That would still mean that 57% of their business comes from car sales and also keep in mind that their light trucks/SUVs are of the compact/mid-sized variety which I don't believe have been hurt nearly as much as the full-sized portion of the light truck market.

 

A sign of things to come??? Who knows, but time will tell.

Toyota is building off its own momentum. Its just a domino effect right now, and its just growing. People see Toyota with fuel-saving cars and technology, and they see GM pushing the Tahoe and Suburbans. Throw this ontop of the fact that GM is still just missing the mark, not by much, but missing it. The Big 3's decline can be torn apart 400 ways, and there is no ONE silver bullet that will end this. I think that these articles are short-sighted, and while the past few years has hurt The Big 3, they are making moves to go foward and survive, which IMO is a good idea. Cutting costs while making higher profit vehicles sure sounds like a good idea to get the money flow going. More and more flexable platforms will also cut cost, and a recent increase in design tallent will also help make future cars really wow us customers. Everyone can point out what went wrong, how it went wrong, what they should have done...but its what they have to do from here on out to get themselves out of the slump, not many in the media write articles about that.
