I read about Nissan's whopping jump in sales. I'm wondering if that's due to the Altima.
That's pretty amazing to see the Tundra perform so well this month. I would imagine it is due to both the vehicle and the discounting. It's summer and people need trucks.

Its a great news for Toyota. Well, I think the incentive really works plus the newly upgraded parts like toyota timing belt that has been incorporated in the new Toyota Tundra - which makes the truck reliable and has great performance and handling.

Yeah, it was the timing belt that sold the cars, not the $3500 on the hood. ;-)

Money talks. It was the incentives without a doubt.
