GM market share in the first half of Nov - 18.8%

[albertwyang]

Losing market share at this pace is scary.

Hopefully, the Red Tag Event will prop up sales for the 2nd half of November.

Razor, you remind me of Art Bell.

Ah, just a rough month... I think people are more worried about heating their homes at this point.... :(

[balthazar]

mid-november numbers, eh?

I wish like hell we could get weekly numbers, or maybe even dailys. In this age of computers, you'd think that'd be easy. A daily doom-n-gloom report would be o u t s t a n d i n g.

I would have to agree... at that point it would also be easy to see how effective advertising was being...

[jmore1276]

I agree about the inventory not being there. The Employee Pricing wiped the dealers out of the most popular models (appearently GM has some). Let's just hope the one's who were ready to buy then have been waiting and not going elsewhere....(particularly to Asia). If this is the case...then the RED TAG could be a big boost.

What would be even better is HOURLY sales numbers, then we could all toast marshmellows over the 9PM-8AM sales rates.

I was being sarcastic. :angry:

I got that Balth, you have a good point. Bri, dang it, now who the heck is Art Bell ? Now I have to go through my day wondering what other AH this AH reminds people off. Im just me, that all, just me.

[razoredge]

BTW now that I read it it says that 18% is just leading, where I didnt care to read it last night and just assumed GM was supposed to be closer to 24%.

[balthazar]

Art Bell has/had a nightly radio show where he covers the weird. Only time I ever heard him is I have a RealAudio file of him talking about & playing a pair of Bigfoot screams.

i'd prefer a live sales ticker at the bottom of my monitor, along with a continuing detailed analysis from some auto journaist panel.

there's a lot of short term thinking in the analysis of auto industry sales these days. it might cloud some journalists' and industry exec's opinions of the long term. not to mention the general public as well.

Art Bell is nothing like Stern et al. Think Fox Mulder crossed with Jim Cramer (Mad Money).

LOL

Hell, why don't we just go all the way and have a LIVE reporter ask *WHY* someone would buy such an 'inferior' car at every GM purchase.

He could even interview (belittle) the buyer him or herself!

This is just more of the media reveling in their victory.

On a related note:

Nissan Motor Co. Ltd., which suffered a 13 percent decline in October sales, appears to be in line for more disappointing results in November, according to the Power Information Network. It said Nissan's retail sales were down 15 percent from the same period last year and its share was holding flat at 7.8 percent.

Is that the hot air I hear quickly leaking from the "Nissan revolution" bubble? Why, I think it is...

Seems like the gas scare has REALLY hurt Ford and GM... They have NO first rate car offerings to fall back on *YET*
