Wowsers, not overly surprising though - were those numbers year on year, or month on month?
I wouldn't like to see Chryslers numbers, thats for sure.

I think that's awesome. I am not real surprised as many folks have become pretty pissed at GM / Chryco for taking our money.

There is a Chrysler dealership and a Ford dealership across the street from where I work. The front row of one dealership is constantly changing. They don't bother clearing the snow off the cars at the other-

According to this story, Ford is up 33% for the month of December and down 15.4% for the year. Much better than domestic rivals. Chrysler had its worst year since 1962 selling under 1 million vehicles and dropping 36% from '08 and GM is down 30% on the year.

Chrysler, Ford, GM report double-digit drops for 2009 | detnews.com | The Detroit News


More good news too. The year end pickup sales totals.....anybody want to guess who's on top? Anybody?

Wow, sales of the Ranger have gone up from last year. And the Colorado only sold 1800 units this past December? That's pretty sad.
