Toyota stores unsold vehicles on ship

As unsold vehicles mount up across the globe, the carmaker Toyota has stashed some of its stock on an empty cargo ship.
The Japanese manufacturer has hired a ship in the Swedish port of Malmo to store thousands of unsold cars, reported EU Observer.
“It’s an emergency measure that we had to take due to storage space issues,” said a Toyotoa spokeswoman.
The decision to store 2,500 cars aboard a vessel was made last month when the Malmo port facility reached its limit of 12,000 cars.
“We hope to keep the time of this measure as short as possible, as we are continuously adapting our production level,” added Toyota.

Nobody's buying. Same story everywhere it seems; I heard of one very large local company just this morning, the guy I deal with said that he'd finished work for the week most likely and would just be tidying his desk until Friday unless something crops up, and one whole dept. of tradesman (I'd guess 20-30 guys) have nothing booked in for the whole of March!

So, these late 2008 / early 2009 model cars will be what model when (and if!) they are sold?

Special discounts may be available, but that is only good for those who are in the financial position to benefit {certainly cuts me - and most of the population - out then!!}

I would love a new motor, the old 3-wheeler has had its day!

so would i dell.just think we could all be eco friendly driving lovely new motors with smaller engines
