LONG BEACH, CA - DECEMBER 4:  A sea of newly imported cars fills the 150-acre terminal lot at the Toyota Long Beach Vehicle Distribution Center at the Port of Long Beach as executives from the big U.S. automakers lobby for a federal bailout and sales continue to plunge December 4, 2008 in Long Beach, California. Shrinking demand for the cars is creating a glut in imported auto inventories at the port. Toyota usually brings in about 250,000 cars a year in biweekly shipments. The faltering economy is having an impact on other imports as well. Twenty percent of the nation's container imports last year came through Long Beach. Getty Images logo Getty Images 14 months ago
