I didn't post passenger car numbers- they really sucked for both makes. The Mustang was the brightest spot for Ford, along with the Grand Marquis (go figure). In GM, Chevy and Cadillac were the only two gainers- a fairly consistent story around GM these days.

I haven't seen that- or a breakdown between F150's/SD's vs. GM 1500's and the HD25/35. It'd be interesting to see. We probably both have a hunch what the numbers would look like- although GM had better diesel availability at our store this month than Ford did 
(that like, never happens)
One thing I am scratching my head on is availability of product. We hit some serious shortages of key products at the Ford store this month- Screws, PSD's, ects. Looking at our sales numbers, we still outsold most of the big metro dealers, so we can't be the only ones feeling this. On the Chevy side, we had trucks up the wazoo and rebates too
, so we kicked a lot of iron out the door.

guess its why my gm rep. said they could make money with 2 names only both with a c in them
Buicks a funny case in these numbers. The Century, Regal, and Park Avenue were down big, but what's missing? The replacement models! I'm wondering why they stopped building on one side, while the replacements aren't quite ready to go yet? I just don't get them sometimes.

Yah diesel are probably a big seller due to the high fuelprices anymore and I presume crewcabs are a big seller no matter what the brand. Seems like after 9-11 everybody expects 0%rebates. Do you sell GMCs to or just Chevies?

Its hard to find solid diesel sales numbers F150. I pulled up cummins year end report and they said they delivered 158k engines to dodge. Which is the most they have ever sold. The wall street journal said ford sold over 190k diesels in 04. There were some innacuracies in the wall street report that made the numbers suspect to me. Ford sold over 300k diesels in 01. So 190k would be a major step backwards. The journal severly underquoted dodges numbers though so Im assuming they did the same for ford.

I've heard- internally- that the PSD's make up about 75% of the SD model mix. For a national number, that sounds a bit high to me, although locally it's closer to 85-90%. Over on the Chevy side, I've remarked about how many more gas HD's we sell than diesels. Now that the Duramax was available, we saw diesel sales rocket on that side as well.
