"What is important to note is now the cake has become smaller, and manufacturers are fighting for a bigger slice," said chief operating officer Praphan Phornthanavarsit.

I reckon that sales of Vigos and Tritons must be up though. They seem to be everywhere.

I think the market here must be saturated. high sales cannot continue becuase some of these hondas are indestructable. my ex gf had one that was 20 years old and was perfect.
