More February sales figures

From the current data that we have there is one big winner, one big loser and scattered sales shrapnel in the
middle. Toyota pulls out ahead 11 percent (reminder – that is with Scion sales added to their total, a separate brand
in all but sales totals) while GM slips 12 percent. Toyota’s Lexus brand drops 4%. Chrysler holds up their end of the
DCX bargain with a 7.5% increase while Mercedes drops 17%. Nissan pulls ahead 10% with Pathfinder sales leading the way
while Honda’s Accord and Civic drag the automaker down 7.2%. BMW fared better than MB and Lexus, up 10% for the whole
company and Mini sales were boosted 18% with convertible sales. We reported on Ford earlier, checking in with a 2.9%
loss, all from a lull in truck sales. A few more numbers are still outstanding. Overall a pretty up and down month with
very few breakout successes.
