Interest video. Go to 4:56. Toyota, Honda, Hyundai, Kia, and Subaru are doing very well with low incentives. Yet Ford, GM, FCA, and Nissan are giving away massive incentives that almost match that of BMW and Mercedes. This is a better indicator how each brand is doing than mere sales numbers would suggest.

Has Toyota/Lexus stopped providing a monthly sales report? Used to be able to see sales volume on the Toyota site but that stopped, or was moved, this year. Just curious when reports come out as far as 'up xx%', what the actual sales figures are.
