Undeliverable cars are piling up at the port of Long Beach.

I see what look like Prius' in that photo to me.
Man, what a depressing sight. All those cars and no new owners for them. Car dealers and car buyers are canceling deliveries.

Sure is depressing sight. Hard to believe how quickly it happened!H

It looks like two, maybe. A little grainy when you blow them up that much. Guess I'll have to head over there and see what sort of deal ... <grins>

After April 3, use e-mail to contact me:

If one reads on in the article you would have read: "In the 150-acre terminal where Toyotas are unloaded, there is a sea of Corollas, Camrys and RAV4s. The mere presence of so many cars is not unusual, given that Toyota brings in 250,000 cars a year in biweekly shipments. But in a sign that something is amiss, dozens of tractor-trailers that transport new cars to dealers sat empty last week amid the rows of Toyotas."

I think I count three, Bob.
The one at photo center left foreground, another one at two o'clock to the first approx. three quarters of an inch away next row back, and then one more at three o'clock to the first Prius, right hand side behind the lamp post.

i think this has more to do with the economic status of the US more than the actual models of cars sitting in the lot. fewer people can get loans so fewer cars are going to be moving.

I was over there yesterday and saw this mess! I live in Long Beach and we were visiting friends and decided to run around town and I did not realize just how bad the pileup was until I saw it.
