Awsome overall GM sales up and Toyotas sales down. Keep it going that way GM.

lemme fill this in for GM sales: GM will definetly beat everyone in its tracks!! Haha toyota!! you can’t spare dime a dozen. GM will not be defeated!!!!!!

As long as they sell enough to stay in business. I’d hate to have to drive a common man’s car that’s not made by GM

doesnt the prius have incentives on it now? 2000 cash back or some crap? toyota sucks

go GM, and nissan too. I wont even bother to speak of ford.

a4: who doesn’t sucki, by your account? and if you say honda and don’t mean motorcycles, you’re a fool!

honda has something worthwhile other than motorcycles?
j/k. im very surprised about the 11 months of gains for lincoln, very inetresting.
oh yeah, gm haters its ok, gm is making better cars now so dont be angry thge sun will still come up tomorrow.

When last year’s sales were in the tank it isn’t all that hard to produce a year over year increase.

11 mnonths ago was last year.

I can’t wait to see what tripleonefive, sunshine, and the rest of the import humper crew say on this one!

gm,nissan, honda and mazda ftw.

GM responded to Toyota’s incentives on the Tundra with 0% long term financing and look what happened. Those financial analysts were crying about how Toyota was going to exceed plan with a superior product. In reality, It took Toyota huge incentives to get the ball rolling and they did. Hopefully (unless you are in the market), they will both start cutting incentives. The hard truth is that Toyota is the only one that can afford a war of incentive attrition right now. I hope GM puts more of a marketing effort into the Malibu than they did the Silverado. While they were busy wrapping it in the flag, Toyota had much more effective ads for the Tundra.

Indeed, Toyota makes some of the best commercial around. They were full of **** (the Tundra ones) but that doesn’t matter because the average american still buys them.

And yes, thanks to America, Toyota has brought back BILLIONS of dollars back to Japan that its sitting on right now and it can offer as many incentives as they want to. Hell, they can literally give away Tundras from free and still have a ****load of money left.

Last, GM is planning a $100 million dollar ad campaign fo the Malibu, remember?

So, you bust the balloon payment on your ARM and the bank forcloses. Whatcha gonna do? Easy! Go down to your local GM dealer and take advantage of rebates to get a snazzy new full-size SUV. Not to drive, mind you, but to live in!

The new crossover trio seems to be a hit with the public. It’s about time GM came out with class leading competitors. The Enclave is my personal favorite of the triplets. It has knockout styling. I hope the design DNA spreads to the rest of Buick’s lineup soon.

GM’s momentum should continue when the 2008 Malibu hits the market. This is the first Chevrolet sedan in recent history that I would actually consider buying. It looks like a winner for Chevrolet and GM.

I don’t understand why anyone would want to buy a Lincoln MKX when it clearly looks like an upscale Ford clone. I know I wouldn’t want to spend that much money to drive a vehicle that, save for minor exterior details, resembles a product that wears a Ford blue oval. I do think it’s great that these products have been successes for Ford.

I see the recent fire scare with the Altima hasn’t hurt its sales performance. Let’s hope Nissan has properly fixed the problem; the car is too sharp looking to suffer from such a serious defect.

As for Toyota, don’t get too comfortable. It’s a tough trip to number one and even tougher to stay there. Just ask GM.

Don’t you think that it’s time to introduce a redesigned Corolla. The current version looked dated when it was introduced; now it looks really ancient. The new one better be a looker or else the Civic and Mazda3 will beat it senseless. If you’re going to take the same affordable, comfortable, boring appliance approach with the new one, how about giving Scion an alternative sporty, compact sedan with an independent rear suspension with the four cylinder/five speed auto combo from the Camry. This will give compact sedan shoppers a desirable alternative and maybe keep them from visiting rival Honda and Mazda dealerships.

What exactly does your cool idea have to do with this article global_lightning?

CMON IMPORT HUMPERS – IM STILL WAITING TO SEE WHAT AWESOME WAY YOU’LL COME UP WITH FOR EXPLAINING THIS!

The set up of this article is false.It starts with ” Despite high gas prices ” and from what I’ve seen gas prices fell (and are continuing to fall) over the last month. So GM getting ” strong demand for its pickup trucks and SUVs ” is no real surprise. Lets see how they do when gas prices start to creep ( or worse leap ) up again.

The ratio of GM sales comments to immitations of GM sales comments is becoming more and more ridiculous by the day.

Flipper,
Gas prices are $3.00+ here in Central Ohio, which is generally one of the cheapest places in America. To me that’s not cheap, especially when I can remember gas being less than a buck a gallon. When you have to fill up a 20+ gallon tank that adds up very fast.

@Commodore:
Read the article – Housing market tanks, GM SUV sales increase. Coincidence??? (this was a meager attempt at HUMOR. This should not be taken as actual fiancial advice)

CTS-Driver – I do agree GM is coming back. The new G cars from Pontiac, and the Acadia (plus clones) is cool.

Commodore its easy – The jintroverted citizens of the USA have been building and buying crappy cars since the 50’s, its a proud American tradition. I never understand why people on this site assume that good sales in the US market are some kind of testimony to the quality of a car. Millions upon millions of people CAN be wrong, especially when they are USA’ans ( I don’t want to tar the other inhabitants of your continent with your putrid brush). Just look to your last presidential elections if you need an example.

“introverted” – sorry

Good job GM. I hope the takeover will help Chrysler’s sales. Still disappointed that Ford posted a loss. That company needs to seriously start posting sales increases, ’cause they won’t last long like this.

Why support a dying company? Ford company lags way behind in engineering, design, quality and reliability compared to GM. It’s a classic case of put up or shut up. It’s time for Ford to get out of the kitchen cause they just stink up the place.

hey jazz whats happening, yeah i like the acadia its just a beauty, and the new g cars are just awesome, they must have have some new young blood in there they wont tell us about, the old men must have died or retired.

Commodore: GM needs a $25 Commercial for the malibu. Picture of the car. The words “better than anything else in its class”

And of course, the fine print: “excludes other gm products.”

Cire: I’m buying a Lambda (probably an acadia) next month. The new civic is detestable. Had one last week, and my back was hurting all day the next day. Not only that, but the damn thing was about as noisy as a Kia!

Got handling: put the bong down. We’ve traken ownership of the name “Americans.” Those Brazilians, Mexicans and Salvadoreans have their own names.
What stinkhole are you living in? Do Y’all still crawl along on all fours?

Chrysler announced it will offer six-year, no-interest loans and cash rebates on some of its 2007 models. Anyone else smell the desperation for customers?

GM is quite possibly the only American company that will have survived the Japanese onslaught :/

Maybe once ford pulls its head out of its ass and starts giving us European versions of its vehicles, its sales will increase again.

Driven: That’s what happens when you make many models no one seems to want. At some point, a Chrysler will start to look good, but can Chrysler make money at that point?

I saw an ad that said $7000 off msrp or 0% apr for 60 months on Tundra. Guess the hype is over…

got handling 50 years of garbage? sad to say that garbage outlasted most of the rubbish that was imported here. we remember the garbage fiats, alphas, opels, mg`s, yugos and lecars brought here at the same time that were just vomit, never other than collector rallys do you see any of those here, so your theory doesnt work too well.
sad fact you wierdos dont remember is almost everything from the 70`s and 80`s blew ass, but you still bash the american industry. ****tards.

hell, look how crappy audi was 10 years ago, now they are great, i wish you haters would open both eyes and reazlize europe hasnt only produced wonderful cars, but nooooooooooo lets just ONLY bash american cars.

Deanster you’re example is so off, it’s crazy. We are definately not talking about one or two cars, only Isuzu sells that few. And we are not talking about millions of cars either, this is MONTHLY august sales numbers.

And from your example, if Toy sold 1,000,000 cars one “month” and then sold 999,000 the same month a year later, that would be a decrease of only 0.001 percent (or 1 tenth of a percent) so your example is completely irrelevant and misleading. Now Godly Toy had a decrease of 2.6% on a million cars, it would be like selling 26,000 cars less. That’s quite a few considering monthly sales of most car makers in the US hover around a few hundred thousand sales

Nice try to spin it, but the fact is that, FOR THIS MONTH AT LEAST, GM wins and Toyota loses
Who knows, next month might be different…Anyway, how are BMW sales?

Who cares how many cars ****wit middle America gets duped into buying? Lets focus on the product, and hope that maybe the manufacturers will do the same.

haha sucks for ——–>toy
