Let's see, Chrysler and Government Motors must have been way up also,
right? After all, they're receiving your tax dollars, and Government
motors is *certainly* spending a lot on advertising.

Oh my goodness, Government Motor sales *dropped* by 20%. And Chrysler,
not quite as Government owned (hee, hee) only dropped by 15%.

BO better do something quickly. Looks like people are rebelling.


Oh, here's a cite.

I think it's called capitalism... nice article.

"At General Motors Co., sales fell 20 percent to 245,550. GM said its
inventory levels hit an all-time low of 379,000 during August, but like Ford
will be replenished this month thanks to production increases.
GM vehicles like the Chevrolet Aveo subcompact, the Cobalt sedan and Equinox
crossover got a lift from the clunkers program. No GM vehicles made the
closely watched list of top-10 Cash for Clunkers sales, but GM's share of
clunker purchases were second only to Japan's Toyota Motor Corp."
