Yes, overall sales are down for November 2008, and quite drastically at that. But what about subcompacts? Check out the numbers: They're not quite as bad as most other cars.

People with great credit are getting home loans in the five to six percent ranges. There is a crunch but only for folks who used to get "mirror fog" loans.

Nice to see that the Yaris is leading the pack in terms of least amount of loss. Must be that folks are "Cutting back" on what they'll buy.

Note the the year's total sales versus last year sees the Yaris RISING in percentages not falling. Only when you compare last November to this November do you see a decline in sales.
