and.. even to me, who don’t have english as my first language, noticed that the way they type are from the same person … it’s just too damn obviously
ya know, if you word them better, people won’t noticed it and you are just making GM look worse by doing this

why am i so damn sure that 1487_GM_SALES, ml350pc and PrimeGTP is the same person?
that is because they appear in every post that is related to GM and they all cheer for this almost bankcrupt automaker as they are still the number 1 automaker in the world

Nissan is down – big surprise. I don’t think the new Altima is faring well, mainly because the “package pricing” scheme ends up being a ripoff. If I simply want to add leather to an Altima I end up paying about $4k due to the linked/required packages to leather. If they rethink this strategy their sales may go up, and I like the Altima, but not when I can get what I want elsewhere for thousands less.

I’ve said for a long time that Toyota would make it to #1, and then realize they don’t have what it takes corporately to deal with the pressures of being the top dog. So far, I haven’t seen anything that shows otherwise. Hopefully GM uses their time as #2 wisely, to rethink how they run their operations. They got way too ****y and complacent.

For those that love to hate GM, their YTD Retail sales, excluding intentionally reduced low margin daily rental fleet sales, were positive when compared with 2006 when adjusted for the number of selling days (2 less in 2007). Further on a sales adjusted basis, pickup YOY Pickup sales were also positive when compared with 2006. Apples to Apples….them are the facts!

Well, General Motors growth is stil on pace regardless of this months news. It shouldn’t be more than a month till they regain the top spot from Toyota and then significantly outpace them for months after. Those sales will most likely come at the expense of Ford and Chrysler which shouldn’t disappoint anyone. And Import sales have obviously crested (First QTR) as it seems they’re on a downward slope finally. GM’s dominance on the landscape is really starting to take shape and it’ll only get better once people get out of their imports and into some real cars.

Kudos to Chrysler. Moving more cars will provide revenue streams to their parts and service channels in the long run. (when the car is out of warranty)

Man Nissan is losing ground quick. Jag is down go figure Jags are junk. Im suprised Land Rover is gaining ground those things break down all the time. Toyota pulled the funniest excuse.

It looks like LLN has finally started editing comments, hopefully this will be an end to homeboy.

I love Toyota’s excuse. Would those two days have really made such a big difference? Do they really sell that many cars in two days? And wouldn’t that apply to other auto makers as well?

I’m not really surprised that Lincoln sales are up and the rest of Ford is down. They are doing with Lincoln what they need to do with all brands: make one bold, different design theme and center all cars around it.

I’m kinda surprised Jeep is up 40%. I thought people weren’t buying too many suvs because of high gas prices.

Poor Nissan.. redesign every car model, add a new family of low-price economy cars, and sales drop with a thud. Maybe Shift 3.0 will be merging with Suzuki?

If only they edited content that actually shouldn’t be here.. which would include GM4Ever’s racism and import bashing and Homeboy’s homophobic rants.

NIssan and Honda sales are not looking good as of last month. I’m kind of shocked but its good to see others struggling just like Ford and GM. NIssan has a lot of new product out now so that decline cant be a good thing for them.

The problem with Nissan is that they actually pulled forward a lot of buyers into March when they had their big March sales event. So, other than having like six consumers wanting to buy ANY car from any manufacturer in April, Nissan had pulled forward a huge chunk of sales, meaning that most people who were considering a Nissan already bought and left Nissan wont for customers (probably similar with the Ford Fusion, although it wasn’t quite as bad as Nissan).

The Honda figures up there are wrong. Honda still sold less, but not 9% less. See:
http://www.hondanews.com/categories/1097/releases/3973

Ranking by automakes’ sales this year so far:
Rank/Company/April Sales/%change/2007YTD sales/%ch.

1 General Motors 307,554 -1.9 1,205,997 -6.5
2 Ford 227,414 -13.0 866,506 -13.2
3 DaimlerChrysler 213,999 1 807,233 -2
[Chrysler] 193,104 2 730,353 -3
4 Toyota 242,675 7.7 605,855 8.3
5 Honda 126,419 -1.6 480,627 1.6
6 Nissan 71,124 -11.1 350,105 0.045
7 Hyundai/Kia 65,144 -5.4 242,952 -1.4
8 BMW 28,692 0.5 104,125 2.9
9 Mazda 21,060 -5.9 100,134 11.7
10VW/Audi 27,192 -2.7 98,552 -0.6

GM and Ford heavy truck sales are removed, so numbers may vary from other sources. Percent changes may vary because some are daily sales rate percent changes while others are volume changes. Either way, Honda cannot get down to -9%….this month.

Regular down in SoCal’s been about $3.30-$3.40. Regular in the bay area has been about $3.50-$3.60. There are some gas stations that are less, but it’s been varying quite a bit.

Thank god for my Focus!

Egbert i paid $3.37 per gallon this morning, california has an extra tax i think like $.45 per gallon and to top it off they have a special california blend that costs more also. 2 years ago it cost me over $400 a month to commute 50 miles each way in my frontier $300 for the cadillac and $75 for the honda vfr. i quickly moved 8 miles from my job. now it costs an average of $80 for all of them combined. the bad part is my girl drives all over so cal(200 to 500 miles a week) to work as a stripper and it makes good money.
