Ah...they are just blowing smoke at Obama taking over the car makers. Conservatives won't have to boycott GM. Once the guvment gets ahold of them, they are done anyway. I expect they'll decrease their pickup lines and more profitable larger cars in the holy grail of climate change.
Ford/Toyota will take their sales as they are coming close now. I'm still interested to see how Ford/Toyota compete if GM/Chrysler get into trouble.
Quote:
As recently as 2004, GM's market share was 27.3%. Its sales were nearly 50% greater than then No. 2 Ford and more than double those of Toyota.
Today, GM's U.S. market share is just 19.5%, down from 22.3% in 2008. Toyota is second in the market with a 16.2% share so far this year, followed by Ford at 15.1%.
