Us Auto Sales - June 2006

[Hemidakota]

I have to take care of some important government business last week and half...any how, here is the latest figures.

I love the monthly update. Fascinating stuff.

And like I said before, the numbers on the Impala make my ass ache. Maybe it's the fact that I worked at Avis and only drove the "rental" versions of Impalas and Malibus (they were close to base level - but they were still brand new), and they just made me ill.

But, to each his own. At least Dodge owns the minivan category...

wow, with the challenger those figures would soar.

Well these figures are interesting. When I do travel across the U.S. when I'm working, I see new and used car lots all over :their lots Chocked full ! I may be wrong but I just feel like the U.S. has an extreme Glut of vehicles [ almost ironic in that at least 50 % of Americans have an extreme Gut as well : not sure why there's a connection !!! ] .My brother and I test drove the VW Toureg about 18 months ago...it was terribly underpowered.due to it being overly heavy as well : plus the steering wheel like all or most modern vehicles is way too fat ! Too bad I don't have one of my 1970 Dodge Challengers ,especially when going long distances..as the thin wheel is great for a driver's hand fatigue ! I hope DCX reviews the Concept's and makes it more like the fingertip control one in the original Challengers .

Great stuff! Just curious I didn't see Jag in your numbers. Are they rolled under Fords?
