No idea where he got the idea that scions are "hot cars" because sales are in the dump right now.
And by the way, if toyota has a shitload of money saved up, why were they down to around $18 billion in cash a few months ago and had to take out loans from the Japanese government?

Again, look at all the combined numbers compared to the combined numbers of the GM brands. A bigger company can afford to lose more than a smaller company can.
Those Scion sales are down so drastically because they were up so high a couple years ago! You get it? "Down 69%" - Down from where? Down from being on top of the world! That's from where!
Starbucks was down 99% last year. 99% would kill a small company. But the Starbucks' in my neighborhood are still open.
What would happen if GM sales were down 99%? - They'd close up shop, that's what they'd do.
