Quote: http://www.detnews.com/apps/pbcs.dl...Category=AUTO01 From the article: GM sold 334,025 vehicles, 3.1 percent fewer than a year ago, but the nation's largest automaker attributed much of the drop to its plan to wean itself of low-profit fleet sales to rental companies. Ford's increase to 237,664 vehicles was fueled largely by car sales, which rose 26.2 percent, while its truck sales fell 5.5 percent. The figures are for all Ford brands, including Jaguar, Volvo and Land Rover. Toyota sold 222,950 vehicles in September. The company's car sales rose 18.4 percent, while truck sales soared 34.9 percent. I guess a trouncing to some means coming in last place. ynotssor View Public Profile Find all posts by ynotssor Add ynotssor to Your Buddy List   #3   10-03-2006, 09:13 PM hls Junior Member   Join Date: Oct 2006 Posts: 6 Toyota trounces U.S. automakers in September sales "Scott" <homealone.com> wrote in message news:12i6bkegqi8pec1@corp.supernews.com...

Toyota is on the move...there is no doubt about that. And Ford and GM are distressed...no doubt about that either. hls View Public Profile Find all posts by hls Add hls to Your Buddy List   #4   10-05-2006, 10:30 AM John Horner Junior Member   Join Date: Feb 2004 Posts: 1,181 Toyota trounces U.S. automakers in September sales Len McAdams wrote: Quote: http://www.detnews.com/apps/pbcs.dl...Category=AUTO01 The headline is rather misleading as it makes it sound like Toyota outsold the US brands in September, which isn't true. Toyota did have a huge sales growth rate, but GM and Ford both still outsold Toyota. The headline could also have said: "Toyota Continues Aggressive Sales Growth by Taking Market Share From Nissan and Honda!"

Right now, the Sonata is 35% US parts and hopefully will increase in time.
