On the the same day that GM, Ford and Chrysler were on Capitol Hill looking for a staggering $34 billion in government hand-outs and loans, November auto sales were released showing a near 38% drop across all vehicle lines from November 2007 for an 11 month industry sales total of 12.3 million vehicles sold in the United States. Amazingly year-to-date both Subaru and Daimler, which includes Mercedes-Benz, smart and Maybach, have 1.2% gains over 2007 sales after 11 months.
The Lincoln MKS (a SEMA version shown above) has been trading on the Car Stock Exchange for 5 months and has already surpassed the Edmunds.com 6 month sales target of 9,000 while all other vehicles are well short of projections in the worst year for the industry in 26 years.
