Here is something that I found that was interesting. These are totals and rankings for all brands. Notice how Ford is gainiing in on GM.

I see that Chrysler, Hyundai , and Mazda show the largest gains @ over 30-35%....... to Ford's 13.3% and GM's 10.7% over last year this time.

Many of these stats are going to be misleading due to the major dropoff in early-mid '09 from the recession. Remember Chrysler declared bankruptcy in mid '09, and many people were fearful of buying from them at the time. As for Hyundai, well....:boink:

Close!

That's U.S. For all North America Ford may have already passed GM since it outsells GM in Canada and Mexico. Not sure tho.
