The formerly Big Three all had sales drop 40 percent or more in January, compared to a year ago. Chrysler was off more than 50 percent.
The Japanese companies weren’t quite so bad, but had losses in the 25-33 percent range. Hyundai, meanwhile posted another gain. Guess those $7,999 Excel, or Accent, or whatever, ads are catching some eyes.
A skeptical leftist's, or post-capitalist's, or eco-socialist's blog, including skepticism about leftism (and related things under other labels), but even more about other issues of politics. Free of duopoly and minor party ties. Also, a skeptical look at Gnu Atheism, religion, social sciences, more.
Note: Labels can help describe people but should never be used to pin them to an anthill.
