March 2007 Car Sales: The Song Remains the Same
The rundown (mostly from AP, not adjusted for number of sales days in the month):
- General Motors — down 4%
- Ford (from a CNN e-mail) — “Ford U.S. sales down 9% in March, less than double-digit percentage it forecast.”
- DaimlerChrysler — down 4.1%
- Toyota — up 11.7%
- Honda — up 11.3%
- Nissan — up 7.8% (but truck sales declined)
- Hyundai (from Biz Weak) — up 0.5%
March 2007 had 28 days, while March 2006 had 27, so the sales per day declines for the Big Three are even worse than they appear above.
