Awesome post WERM. But a man buying a T-Bird HAS a *****. That is why he did'nt go for the Vette. He is "confident" about himself.

 

Haha , no ....Werm had it right . Man buying T-bird has no ***** because the new T-bird is a middle to older aged womens car

And yet again , the Mustang proving wrong anyone who says theres not a market for 2-door RWD cars .

94lightninggal- Ive driven a Cobalt . Trust me , anyone that has cavi now will be put into shock at just how better the new Cobalt is every possible aspect .

 

how many 04 cobras were sold im wondering?


werent they also discounted?

 

10,000-ish in 04. And yes, towards the end of the 25-odd year chassis, they most certainly did discount them - $3000 rebate....and some of us did even better than that.

 

If it's not broke, don't fix it. I can't see the Impala leaving FWD anytime soon. With a much stronger engine line up and great interior (better than Honda & Toyota from the pics) I see Impala sales breaking 300,000 easy in 2005.

Since the GTO was a flop does this make the Cobra and Mach 1 flops too?

 

does anyone have total sales for GM and ford for 2004?

 

LOL...I think that's about what Ford planned to sell.

 

I'm assuming you missed the totals in the begining?

 

GTO is one car. In NA anyway. The Mustang and its stable mates are still Mustangs.All of them have a horse on them. So nope, Mustang a flop yeah right!!

Game over.

Bob, What color is your Cobra..........

 

Funny how the Cavalier is considered to be such a bad car by the car magazines and people on this site although they sold very well. It's not as "crappy" as it's made out to be. I drove one for 5 years as my daily driver and put well over 100,000 miles on it. It was a tremendously reliable car. Never had the first bit of mechanical trouble, got great gas mileage and served its purpose very well. The only rattle the car ever had was the loose change I kept in the console.

 

Cobras met their numbers, and they didn't need massive rebates to help them sell.

 

are those totals for GM or just chevy?

in case anyone was looking.

 

I rented one once. It was a miserable little POS. It vibrated. The interior was made out of squeaky lawn furniture grade plastics and had horrible fit and finish. It wasn't confortable. It handled poorly. It was slow. It had mushy brakes. Basically anything that you would not like on a car, this car had. I can't imagine owning this car for more than 5 miles, let alone 100,000, reliability be damned.

The only other car I've rented that even came close in mediocrity was a Toyota Corolla.

 

Like I posted, it's Chevrolet's total.

Recap:
*Chevrolet is GM's 800 pound gorilla, making up over half of all GM sales ALONE.
*Ford outsells Chevy, though Ford's sales are down & Chevys are up both by 4%.
*Buick outsells Mercury by 16,000 cars, despite a big drop in sales.
*Land Rover outsells Hummer, and Hummers's sales have dropped almost twice as far as Rover.
*Volvo is burying SAAB...badly. A 100,000 cars out of 139,000 is pretty badly.
*Cadillac is outselling Lincoln & Jaguar...combined... by a very large margin. & years ago, Lincoln was outselling Cadillac badly...alone!
