Ugly numbers. Toyota's the only one with a grin, though GM might have one, too, considering Ghosn can't point to his sales record of late with any confidence. Things are bleak at nearly -10%. I wonder what they're trending at?

Who bought the I35?

Nissans truck sales held up surprisingly well.

yeh, those nissan truck numbers can thank the incentives for their sales. they won't last.

i'm guessing it's bad that M sales are already heqding down of what they should be, when the product is only 2 years old?

and who is buying all these maximas!

Ugly numbers?

Considering that they are going to replace two volume cars in the next few weeks, they are not so ugly after all. Also, Toytoa used heavy incnetives, no one buys them at sticker anymore.
