By the Numbers: August Sales Not So August

Augusts U.S. sales results are in. Upon their release, GM crowed about their market-bucking triumph-- neglecting to mention the fact that 25 percent of those sales sailed with the fleets. Meanwhile, Chrysler blamed its sales decline on diminished fleet flogging. Ford was "encouraged by sales of their crossover vehicles" (i.e. stuck in the dog house). And Toyota pinned their sales drop on the subprime lending crisis and a supply-line interrupting Japanese earthquake. Whatever. Bottom line: August wasnt kind to many of the models were tracking on your behalf.
