People are nervous. They are, perhaps temporarily, thinking economy.
Soaring gasoline and associated energy costs are making reasoning
people shake their heads in disbelief.

The stock market is making people question the whole economic system
and the wars in the Middle East are not helping either.

Predictions were published the other day, and I dont remember really where,
that Toyota will overtake GM for the world market in the next couple of
years.
Predictions dont mean anything, though, and we can wait and watch.
