    Why a lot?

    Some people are paying almost as a lot for what they drive as the place they dwell. Part of that is because of rising costs which have persistently set new highs month after month for the previous 18 months. But additionally, people are financing bigger quantities to get these automobiles.

Last December, Toyota CEO Akio Toyoda sounded a equally apocalyptic notice in his position because the chairman of the Japan Automobile Manufacturers Association, or JAMA.
