It's the price of gas that is driving all of this. Not just at the pump, but the way gas prices are affecting everything else in the economy, making everything else more expensive as it drives up the cost of doing business.

Consumers are obviously more aware of gas prices, but I don't think you can attribute all of that to gas prices.

That's always suspicious. They're probably clearing out inventory - I'm thinking through fleet sales or incentives.

Even with gas prices this high, a $7,000 to $8,000 incentive buys a lot of gas.

I still don't think we're going to see a significant difference in what people buy unless that $3 stays for six months or more.

People complain about gas prices, but they don't change their buying habits. We've been saying that gas prices have to hit $3 a gallon and stay there for six months to see a change in behavior.

Ford is clearly on the path of closing at least a car plant if not a truck plant. They're losing market share, and they have too much capacity.

Given that's a new model, that's a big decline.

Ironically, GM has lost just about exactly what Toyota has gained. In North America, it's very much a situation right now where Toyota is moving forward while GM is really managing its decline and trying to figure out how to manage such a big company with such a big market share decline.

They're building products that consumers want, and they're also well-managed, so they don't have any turmoil or anything like that. From a business standpoint, there really isn't much stopping Toyota at this point.

Sometimes you say a new year can bring a clean slate and refreshment, but that's not the case for 2006. 2005 was a tough year, and 2006 will be another tough year. In the U.S. market, I don't see a let-up of the pressure on GM and Ford from the Asian car makers.

North America continues to grow in importance for Toyota on a global basis. Putting something like a production support center in the U.S. only makes sense as they continue to add plants.

As people live with them and maybe do some math, and if prices stay at the premium stage, you're just going to see sales slow.
