April Sales numbers

Good news for all of us if the 3 brands are doing well. Why not just hope for the best.

Well, one thing is for sure and totally documented. Ford and GM's truck glass are each twice as full of liquid as Dodge/Ram's glass and have less than half the gas. There's true balance and based on actual documented facts! Might be "news" to some readers but most are very smart and can read and think for themselves without the fact filtering glasses on.

Dadoffourgirls,

Are you trying to edjamacate MM49 with real facts and knowledge? You're wasting your time cause he wears those filtering Fiat owned Chryslers glasses and probably even wears them when in bed. Read some of his post history and it's self-explanatory!

Just hoping to provide others with a balanced approach to looking at the news.

I once asked my 5th grader daughter if my glass was half-empty or half-full. She answered it was full! Half liquid, half gas.

Gotta love internet news. I suggest that you dig deeper into other sources.

DETROIT—General Motors Co.'s GM +3.15%first-quarter profit fell a less-than-expected 11% as a result of a weaker performance in North America, where the largest U.S. auto maker is spending heavily to launch new pickup trucks, continuing losses overseas and the impact of currency turbulence in South America.

Wall Street had expected a bigger earnings decline, and GM shares were up 4.5% at $31.54 in midday trading on Thursday in New York.

Ram up 48% for the one month (April 2013) only but only 23% for the YTD vs 2012. Chevrolet Silverado alone is up 23.5% for the same YTD sales.

It takes a lot less numbers of actual truck sales to increase 23% having 109,003 total sold than having a 23% increase with 156,044 total sold. Like approx only 65% of an actually sold number of trucks or 1.5 to 1 required to equal. Use the math you learned in school and don't be misled.

Wow, what a great way to take good news and turn it into bad news. As a graduate of the School of Hard Knocks, I learned that a 23% YTD increase is better than a 23% YTD decrease. That's the math I learned in school.

The Chevy sales increase is due to increased incentives up to 16.4%. The highest in the industry.
