Less Is More?

" It's been -- for several months now for General Motors and when you take a look at the actual sales numbers in the last month. We're seeing a slightly different story check it out last month GM sold more than a 190000 vehicles on -- 29% sales drop. Compared to -- you were going to last for 424%. Down -- Chrysler whopping 47%. But compared to US auto makers of the foreign automakers. The American auto makers actually beat -- the tape. Toyota is down about 41% -- about 41 half. And -- is down 33% so we thought today with all the American car bashing that's been happening. And there's been flooding in much of -- justified frankly we wanted to find the bright side of the road. Might Carville is an automotive expert with a minute guys dot com and we have asked Mike to tell us what he thinks is going right from the parking lot. In Los Angeles what what vehicle you have there might."

" Well good morning bill thank you for having me on this morning of course were saying in front of the DNC -- hybrid this of the Sierra hybrid. And I gotta tell you of course on Monday when the news broke about what was happening with General Motors are native -- website was hit with a lot of consumer requests. What's going to happen to General Motors there's a lot of misinformation out there about the industry right now the greater automotive industry but this right here is that. The GMC Sierra from a sales standpoint it's a little brother the Silverado. -- number two in sales for the month of may but this is a hybrid -- this -- been out on the road for for quite a long time."

" The GMC in General Motors products that are more than nine hybrid vehicles they actually lead the auto industry has been a lot of information out there about."

" What makes general motors' green they're not green enough -- guess what. They're really -- got more than nine vehicles out there let me war on illegal alien history to have thirty plus you're -- General Motors makes more hybrids and any other auto maker. Not only do they make more hybrids than any other auto maker with nine model line vehicles but they have more vehicles within their product line up."

" That get thirty plus miles per gallon."

" Now let me talk about this when bill."

" Ford F 150 so we've shown you one track now we're showing you a complete another truck."

" What's the deal with trucks -- guess what vehicle sales in the month of may with gas prices going up all this talk about green technology and hybrids. The trucks led the industry 33000. Ford F series trucks were sold on the road 32000. GMC."

" Trucks Silverado were sold on the road they make it easy for yet you can get in and out of the vehicle super easy you know they make -- functional for. For those that -- working construction. Number one selling vehicle on the road five star crash rating it's just a great vehicle starting at 20000. Topping off in the thirties great all around vehicle but I want to talk about the past -- vehicles of course people are looking to."

" Save a little bit of money when it comes to vehicles this is a hot new -- on the -- reported made the top ten it was eight. That's selling vehicle in the month of may and it's the Ford Fusion hybrid urging you ready for this. 41 miles per gallon."

" 41 miles per gallon now what you need if you can take those two trucks on an 88 -- website you can compare -- and figure out what you like in what you don't like -- that vehicle you can actually compare for vehicles."

" This -- over here's the Toyota Camry just for the third best selling vehicle. Of course the Toyota Camry always leads the pack they're always in the top five along with the court. In a position to really get consumers excited about what's happening in the auto industry but I wanted to share with you that it's not all doom and gloom as some of the domestic manufacturers. Really leading the charge and what's happening out there in the auto industry these no floor General Motors. "

" It went -- well."

" And for now these -- not gonna go where there's those inventory sitting on the lots what we got a question from our -- That we get a lot actually -- this now because you ask you why. Oregon says why would GM and Chrysler want to get rid of the dealers it doesn't cost them anything and it gives them more exposure. To sell their cars do have a fair answer for that."

" Mike. You know there are a lot of different things -- into owning a dealership."

" Local and regional marketing cooperative costs corporate General Motors will spend money in the regions advertising dollars."

" More importantly if General Motors is cutting back on actual production units. You're not gonna have enough vehicles to staff -- lot so you want to make sure they're still good fair competition out there. But the reality is we don't want to see dealers go away we want to have people -- have the ability to go on to their local market. By great cars like these ones that we've seen today the domestics are not going away they're really doing a great job -- some innovative products to market. And you know I'd like to see them do well along with the rest of -- auto industry lot of doom and gloom but I think there's a lot of positive information coming out of this month's sales."

" We do even better bang and -- Chrysler and GM for quite awhile now so we want to get them fair do I think you've done just that and the Ford Fusion is hot as you point out great -- my thank you.
