    Local news tonight reported overall sales for the big three as GM down 1%, Ford down 6% and Chrysler sales up 11%, although they discounted prices on some popular vehicles to do it.


    SO THAT'S HOW THEY DID IT!!!:S Sold the Rams for near to nothing, maybe even gave some away, ya reckon???? just to get their sales up. What a clever ploy:)...You would have thought that GM and Ford would have given some type of incentive and who knows how many THEY would have sold....oh, and as stated, Ram's aren't sold where they weather is bad...

    ...hey, at least you admitted that there were "some popular vehicles"....if it hadn't been for that, though...guess Chrysler wouldn't have sold any in February:R.

    What difference doe's it really make? Folks buy what they want.
    Just my opinion here.

    Some people are insecure and need to justify themselves. If their truck is the number one, or has the most growth, or isn't the last place or didn't slip the most, etc etc it makes them feel better about themselves.

    Personally, I buy the truck that meets my needs and budget. I couldn't really care less if my truck is "popular" or not. I bought what I wanted because it was what I wanted. Thankfully I don't have any other "physical limitations" and feel the need to justify myself in other ways.

    Yes, all Chrysler dealerships are located in the south, so they are not affected by the weather.

  • With the unusually bad weather in much of the country, the numbers probably don't mean much.
