Japan's car makers hit U.S. wall

Article Abstract:

Though the three major Japanese auto makers are still experiencing strong sales in the U.S. market, there is concern that the traditionally successful companies will see a decline in sales due to U.S. economic conditions and high gas prices. As a reflection of this slowdown, share prices may fall for such longtime favorites as Toyota Motor Corp., Nissan Motor Company Ltd., and Honda Motor Company Ltd. Many analysts are downgrading their ratings for the Japanese car industry and are recommending against purchases.
