Looks like cars were down 1.4 as a whole, but daily rental sales were down 35%, so there should be a good chunch of profit to be had in there.

Still, you'd think a new model which seems superior in every way would at least hold the line for now. I don't see this as a good trend, for GM's sake.

I do like the fact that GM car sales are up though.

The truck sales were up something like 30% for both the Sierra and Silverado for Feb. over Feb. 2006. GM is cleaing out the '07 inventories and still don't seem to have a good supply of 07 trucks. My local dealer only has a handful to pick from.

I say let Toyota be number one. They can have all the problems that go with being number 1 as well.
