Wow the difference from last year is huge. I knew it would be a significant difference but all of those are almost 50% lower! That's kind of a wake-up call to how bad things really are right now...

How has Ford sold more Rangers than Frontiers...?!

Eh... it don't make sense. I see way more Frontiers out on the road than Rangers.

well with the 09 Ram and F-150 coming out, I thought they would be neck and neck. I wonder how these numbers will look next year with the EcoBoost.

what EcoBoost? Gonna have to be ALOT of jobs come around for my area to boost. First damn thing they need to do is lower the prices on F150's about 12-15k. They will sale more, across the board all makes.

If you add the Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra together they actually outsold the Ford F- series even though it sounds like General Motors may go bankrupt. I hope GM don't go plum belly up, Ford would lose too much competition.

STATS 101...

Sample size...

Sampling methods...

IE, your local market doesn't = a proportional representation to the whole country.

Not really sure. They are just turbocharging engines. But F/I stock is still a great idea.

I don't see too much work with EcoBoost.
