Automotive afterthought

I heard today that, at the meetings in Washington, Ford noted that their sales were down 31%. GM is down 41%. Clearly they have a big issue. However, Toyota is down a third (33% last time I checked) and they are still moving forward. When you are not the low cost producer, you blow through cash more quickly than your competitors and will not last as long.
