Bob Carter, head of the Toyota sales apparatus, notes that the Japanese automaker's sales totals continue to suffer from California's economic crisis as well as its real estate downturn. "It's not one thing: it's real estate, it's availability of credit, it's unemployment" that's hurting California sales, he says.
