OUCH, Clearly everyone is being hit hard by falling sales!

The brand is up 9000 units over last year.

Yes for the year, but across the board sales are dropping off and in some cases big time. Be interesting to watch this over the last few month of the year.

Month-vs-month is pretty much meaningless; let's see where everybody ends up by year-end.

Month to month is meaningless by a single month until you look at it over time and see the trends. Then that pattern shows the direction the industry  / company is heading.

Quarters are better for mid-year checkups.
