Well the November news was not all bad for Ford. They actually sold more
vehicle in November of 2007 than November 0f 2006. And in fact, Ford's
monthly sales were up more in November of this year (compared to last
November) than were Toyotas (Ford was up 0.6%, Toyota was up 0.3%).

And apparently the new Tundra is turning into a disaster. Despite piling on
incentives, Tundra sales can only be described as extremely disappointing
(sales fell in November, and it is unlikely that Toyota will meet it sales
goals for the new monster truck). In my opinion, Toyota screwed the pooch on
this one. They replaced a reasonable sized truck with a ridiculously large
loser. I do see a few of them around town now, but the only person I know
that owns one is very disappointed. It sucks gas and rattles like an old
Dodge.
