I don't believe you.
I work at a Toyota Dealership - specifically the rental side. Our new car lot used to be packed with vehicles, Now it's basically vacant. Any new cars are sold before they even get delivered here. And for ordering new vehicles for our rental fleet we can barely order anything new because of this problem.
