Two items pretty much sum this one up:
Hummer sales down 54%.
Honda sales up 18%.
People are buying smaller, fuel efficient cars, while avoiding the pigs. Imagine that. A few more of the failures for June:
Acura down 16% – New models might help things soon
Buick down 34% – The buyers are dying off
Chrysler down 36% – Hmm Sebring or Accord – what would you buy?
Ford down 20% – No one wants Expeditions
Jeep down 33% – Surprised?
Lexus down 21% – Wow!!
Mitsubishi down 35% – Their cars are bad, what do you expect?
Saab down 52% – Should be 100%
Toyota down 10% – Didn’t see this coming, at all
And some of the positives:
Audi up 18% – No explanation
Kia up 21% – Cheap cars, decent on gas
Benz up 12% – I guess the super rich aren’t affected by $4 gas
MINI up 40% – Amazing.
Subaru up 18% – People are buying smaller AWD Subarus instead of 4×4 Hummers and Tahoes.
