Toyota, Honda, Nissan and Hyundai outsold Chrysler/Dodge in passenger cars in July, and Volkswagen/Audi and BMW probably outsold Chrysler as well in retail units. Once-great Detroit brands have faded away: Buick sold only 6,000 cars last month and Mercury, fewer than 7,000. In contrast, BMW, without the Mini, had 19,000 sales.
Look at it another way: GM's car sales were only 10% of the industry's total car and light truck sales--the total, not just cars alone; Ford's were only 5%; and Chrysler was less than 3%.
