Perhaps there is a tiny ray of hope for the Big Three after all. Toyota (TM) sales in the US were up 11.7% compared to the same month last year. It was a good month, but not a blow out.

Total sales of all Toyota brands hit 242,675. The Toyota brand itself had sales of 213,820. Sales at Lexus barely moved up to 28,855. Sales of pick-ups were also close to flat.
