Wow, this actually isn't as bad as almost everyone expected. The volume is clearly in Malibu, G6, Cobalt, HHR. Trucks down only about 20% or so - how much of that due to the 72 hour sale?

Very interesting.

Given Ford's performance and the expected Chrysler numbers, I'm less likely to believe GM is going to be the first of the "Big 3" to disappear. Maybe Ford absorbing Chrysler now, killing the truck overlap, and rolling the minivans, RWD sedans and Jeeps into the Blue Oval family?
