Red face Car sales - Koreans and Subaru continue pos. trend

http://www.autoblog.com/2009/11/03/by-the-...rowing-edition/

Subaru, the line japanese make, and Hyundai and Kia continue to post very strong sales gains - over 40% - this year. The good news is more and more makes are green, although there is the cfc effect to remember when looking at the numbers. Of the non-dead brands, Mitsu and Chrysler are the biggest losers at over 30% drops!

I thought this was going to be a bashing thread calling Korean and Subis P.O.Ss....

Took me a while to realize you meant POSitive.

Ouch for Mitsubishi. Hopefully, they'll need to clear some inventory and the Evos become real cheap

Hyundai has surpassed Ford to become the 4th largest automaker in the world.

The 2 new EVO's i've seen sitting at stealerships have been sitting on their lots for over a year and a half, because they refuse to drop the price in San Antonio.

I find this hard to believe because I don't think any dealership is stupid enough to hold onto a car way past its model year.

I predict that Mitsu will be the next brand to retreat from the US mkt.
