Nope it hasn't. Toyota has about "350 days" of Prius in stock, and selling less and less each month. But see below. Most American manufacturers have 180+ days of most models in stock. GM being really in bad shape with mostly 200+ days on most models. And eagds, Buick Dealerships (nationwide basis) have only been averaging 4 vehicle sales per month the past 6 months. Toyota dealerships has been averaging 40 vehicles a month in the same time period. Mitsubishi dealerships have been doing ~15 vehicles a month. Ford and Chrysler dealerships are about 30 cars a month. Oh, Ford has about 270 days of Mustangs in stock. There is some seriously bad mojo going on in the auto industry right now. -- greg, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Novell's Directory Services is a competitive product to Microsoft's Active Directory in much the same way that the Saturn V is a competitive product to those dinky little model rockets that kids light off down at the playfield. -- Thane Walkup -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
