Houston Cars

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.
