    Interesting datapoint on the health of the economy and the impact of higher gas prices. Some of the numbers coming in auto sales: some coming in pretty bad.

    Luxury:

    BMW (minus Mini): -17%
    Lexus: -21.1%
    Acura: -17%
    Mercedes (minus Smart sales): -.06%
    Mercedes (with Smart sales): 12.9%

    American:
    GM: -18.5%
    Ford: -28% (ouch)
    Toyota (minus lexus): -10%

    On the positive side
    Mini: +24.8%
    Kia: +7.8%
    Hyundai: +1.3%
    Subaru: +5.6%
    Honda (non-acura): +18%
    VW: .3%

    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:
