Well according to the article, Fords lead is in thanks to their increase in fleet sales. If Fords Fleet and private sales are both up while GM's fleet sales are up but private sales down, that makes for a big enough margin to take the lead. Individuals make or break Auto companies, not fleets.

The point is, since GM's sales are way down (minus fleets) that increase in fleet sales for Ford was enough to give them the edge for now.
Did you not read? GM sales weren't way down, they were up. GM retail (private sales) were up 7%. Fords retail (private sales) were up 28%. Even without fleet, Ford made a much better improvement than GM.

Without fleet, maybe Ford wouldn't have overtaken GM, but still shows the much better improvement Ford is doing in the market than GM is.
