Toyota showing weakness?

Toyota's recent sales,say the past 3 years have relied on Suv's(they make 6 different ones) ,Corollas and
Camry's.The market has changed dramatically towards Crossovers and small cars and Toyota has yet to
adapt.http://online.wsj.com/mdc/public/page/2_3022-autosales.html
  Look at the comapnies making gains,mainly Hyundai.They actally gained about 30% market share in their small cars over the past year.I don't think it a coincidence,it's the "New market",the recession market.Hyundai actuall has three cars starting under $20,000 and a Crossover.
  Another vehicle Toyota should look cloder at is the Ford Focus.They are the big winner in the past year by
increasing sales by 14%.I for one don't think this is just a fluke I think it's another indication of the New market.
