It is also possible Ford is being sore loser, like GM was in the past, highlighting the Fleet reduction to mitigate the aparent effect of the overall and retail sales decline.

The quick way to see if GM had a fleet relapse would be to look at Grand Prix, G6, Malibu and Impala sales. If anyone of them had some unexpected jump in sales then we know that there was a fleet dump. However they aren't dumping the Lambdas and GMT900's into fleets.
