I don't know how many of you follow the numbers but I figured I'd share.

http://www.autoblog.com/2009/04/01/by-the-numbers-march-2009-aint-no-joke-edition/

Quick breakdown:

BMW Group -22.9%
Chrysler LLC -39.3%
FoMoCo -40.9% 131,465
General Motors -44.7%
Honda America -36.3%
Nissan NA -37.7%
Toyota Mo Co -39.0%

This is why I find it hard to believe when every person I talk to that works at a dealer here in WI says "Our sales are up". Like WI is in this magical recession proof bubble.

All have UAW employees here in the states. High labor costs and Greedy Miss Management on both sides are the reason there is failure in sales

No, only Chrysler, Ford, and GM have UAW workers. Even here in the US. No other companys has UAW workers.
