San Diego Housing Bubble News and Analysis

The shift continues with buyers moving to cheaper cars and/or fuel efficient cars. This is why I think the market does just fine without more fuel efficiency regulation. Buyers will demand it and car company will have to meet that demand or fail. That's what happening now. At this rate, 2 out of the top 3 American auto maker will be Japanese. Here's the full break down:

AN, you're numbers are from june 07 i believe. Most manufacturers have not yet announced june 08 results (yet).
I see you're reading the same auto related blogs as me. autoblog posted the 07 numbers i believe.

This # is June 08. You can go to Autoblog.com to see for yourself. The % decline is calculated by % cars sold per day instead of total, because of the difference in # of selling days per month.

my bad, i misread that... post...Weird, different sources are reporting different numbers.

What other source are you reading? Autoblog calculated the % differently, so that might be the reason. Also, most auto maker report on the first of the Month, so I think these # are pretty up to date. In my post, which is from autoblog, it also have # from 6/07 as well for you to compare.

news feeds and autospies

Actually i think the difference is news sources are reporting change from monthly.

Edit...Ah, autoblog reports average number of vehicles sold per day. I don't know how to read today.

BMW needs to bring over their diesel powered 1-series hatchback and coupes.

Then they can be profitable and make money.
