Lots of down right now...

Alfa Romeo just does not make sense, how does spending billions that were STOLEN from Jeep, RAM, Dodge, Chrysler well spent when they only sold 376 for the year and a total of 37 for the month of August?

Stolen ? Nah... No more then Saturn stole money from Chevrolet, even looking at how they got Chrysler-Jeep. It's their money. But highly dubious business decisions in all cases.FCA is full of hot air and going nowhere. Spectacular Hellcats, prestigious brands, great numbers (hum...) but beside a few Fiat models in Europe and Jeep in NA, any attractive and efficient "bread and butter" and "day to day commuting" models? I mean Honda isn't all NSX nor Civic Si, Chevrolet all Corvette, Ford all GT or Toyota all Lexus LC... They also have something to offer once they get you to a dealer. An old 300 ? A Dart or 200 ? Oups ! Even the boss said they weren't that great...

i think the auto industry as a whole is in for a slide.........

 

Subaru is about the only 'accessible' brand that saw a meaningful increase.  All things considered it looks like GM did ok
