We've gotta apologize...we were a bit drunk this afternoon and may have missed this at first, but after sobering up and taking a closer look at the sales numbers...plus a thoughtful kick in the ass...we were finally able to notice this:
TOTAL US AUTO SALES, JULY 2006
1.) General Motors
406,298
2.) Toyota
241,826
3.) Ford
241,399
4.) DaimlerChrysler
171,940
So really, this doesn't mean a whole helluva lot especially considering ToMoCo passed FoMoCo in global sales almost half a decade ago. Except if you're counting pride, 'cause in that case it means a shit-load.
