Auto sales November 2008: Beat this number game
Well, IMO, this is quite possibly one of the scariest month in American history as far as the numbers go.
Normally, a song would be good about now but that's hard to do together over the internet.
And besides, we should make lemonade with the lemons just handed out.
So, make up your own label and post your own favorites - the good, the bad, and the ugly - the whatever and try to beat the other guy.
Here are just a few to start.
Toyota Prius -48.3% . Biggest Surprise Number of the Month.
Honda hybrids - total - 69.7%. Biggest shock number of the month.
American Hyundai Motor Co - 40.0% Biggest surprise ( bad ) performance by an OEM.
As a group, never saw this coming.
