Oh this gets better and better....below is a photo of imported cars parked in LA ports with nowhere to go. The dealers don't want them. And it turns out that the American car companies have been overproducing cars for two years now and parking them in vacant lots around Detroit. Damn! A Sea of Unwanted Imports "For its part, Toyota says the higher-than-usual inventories at the Long Beach port are a result of shrinking demand, particularly in Southern California, which is one of its biggest markets. The company declined to say how many cars were at the port or how long they would be warehoused. Toyota has adjusted its output to reflect falling demand, said Sona Iliffe-Moon, a Toyota spokeswoman. Ms. Wasil said Nissan, whose cars arrive through the port of Los Angeles, sought a deal with Long Beach to park its overflow vehicles there. Mercedes struck a deal to use more acres just a few weeks ago, she said. Officials from Mercedes and Nissan did not return calls seeking comment. The mothballing of cars is nothing new for Detroit, where thousands of unwanted American-made cars have been parked over the last two years at Michigan’s state fairground and in lots at its airports." nytimes.com
