It is nice to see Honda drop more than GM but I utterly cannot believe Ford has increased over last November. I really wish Ford would go Bankrupt.

Wow............. nice sentiment there.

How about this.............. I hope that none of the US automakers go bankrupt.

My buddy bought a Montana SV6 last week. They were so eager to sell him a vehicle they virtually paid to get him out of his lease with a year left. I think he got about $10K off in total also.

I guess I should have waited a couple of months on my Malibu but I'm not sure the deals are going to get that much better on a good seller.
