For December only. For all 2010, it's not the case.

Thye Toyota bashing in 2010 really hurt the sales.

Sales are likely soft for all automakers in this shakey economy.
All that Toyota bashing, and only one confirmed case of sticky throttle here in Canada really makes me wonder how many cases they had in the US, how many of them were legitimate, and why the press jumped all over it like they did, and still do. Granted, Toyota brass blew it by sticking there heads in the sand instead of being proactive. Still, Toyota quality exceeds most and us current owners know that. New business will be hurting due to the bad press. Not to mention that Hyundai are bringing new quality products market at very competitive prices. All the Cruze hype has to hurt too, especially in the US. I believe Toyota is much more deep rooted here in Canada and will be less impacted by the Cruze.
