We do continue to see them in a position to go after additional share, but it will be a more difficult environment, as the domestics are reawakening," says Jeff Schuster, an analyst with J.D. Power & Associates in Troy, Mich...
...meant voice in Farsi, she became a symbolic victim of oppression, silenced by a brutal regime. As each detail of her life emerged, it was given import and meaning. The government, which quickly declared the video a fabrication, has won back control of the streets, but it has no power over mythmaking.

Enter K-20, the Fiend (kaijin) with 20 Faces, who can assume almost any identity, and who steals from the rich but also oppresses the poor. Only one man (pan-Asian star Takeshi Kaneshiro) can stop K-20 - if he can just figure out what evil genius...
