Pretty bad times all around, though I'm really surprised at both GM as a whole and Audi as a brand only falling 5.4%, which as far as I can tell is the smallest on that whole list. I guess its that new A4 that's driving sales?

I believe those are the US figures, I heard down there, everyone Chrysler too are struggling. Here in Canada not too bad, definately not where we want to be but not anywhere as bad as the US.
But you know what, things do turn around sooner or later.

Ouch these are huge drops in the US numbers. The present situation we have on the credit crisis is unprecedented. Amazing how many people can't get a car or mortgage loans in the USA. No one trusts anyone to pay back .....

Canadian numbers are better. They should start focusing more on us.
But with these numbers its not only the US automakers doing bad.

Ha Infiniti isn't doing too bad either; 2nd best there. I can't wait for XXXX (cough; Gilboman) to chirp in about people who stopped buying Infiniti vehicles because they are the most sensitive to gas price :twisted:.

Infiniti is giving GM style discounts on their 08s. 6000$ cash back will buy a lot of gas! Actually right now, I think the EX35 outsells the G35/G37s.
I'm interested to see how far they will jack up the price on the 09 g37s.
Lexus is also doing well, I'm guessing due to the aggressive lease rates.
