GM U.S. July sales down 19.5 percent, Honda up 10.2%
 

The only "good" news for GM was that Ford and Chrysler were off even
more at 34% for Ford and 37% for Chrysler.

Confrimed in the Business section of our paper today -- "July vehicle sales
rise for Toyota and Honda..." GM sales were off 31.2% for trucks and cars
down for 2.7%. Chrysler was downs 40/23.5 percent respectively. So even
their cars present sales problems.

Toyota and Honda sales are bolstered by the midget cars that are in vogue
today. GM and Ford do not offer midget cars. Seems to me that is
temporary. Midget car buyers are not generally the average US new vehicle
buyers that buys a new vehicle every three or four years. Fords hit was the
F150, but it is end of the model year. Major F150 buyers will soon be
buying 2007s, not leftovers.

People are nervous. They are, perhaps temporarily, thinking economy.
Soaring gasoline and associated energy costs are making reasoning
people shake their heads in disbelief.

The stock market is making people question the whole economic system
and the wars in the Middle East are not helping either.

Predictions were published the other day, and I dont remember really where,
that Toyota will overtake GM for the world market in the next couple of
years.
Predictions dont mean anything, though, and we can wait and watch.
