Auto Sales in Japan Down 14th Month In A Row
Sales of new cars, trucks and buses in Japan have dropped another 9.4% in June, the 14th straight month of decline.

You need to be more specific when you make a vague comment like that.

Stupid. It says auto sales in Japan are decreasing, that means all sales of all makes! That means they're not buying any cars...

It specifically points out Nissan and other Japanese brands. PLUS domestics do represent a bigger picture than foreign brands, therefore a decrease in their overall vehicles sales shows a greater percentage of Japanese vehicles. Its called common sense. Im not calling any names but youre one to talk Will.
