Hi All:
___Yet another Ford sales hit :(
November - Ford sales slide, GM, Daimler higher.
No. 2 automaker blames weak truck sales for downturn; GM's gain largely a favorable comparison to November '05. (http://money.cnn.com/2006/12/01/news/companies/auto_sales.reut/index.htm?postversion=2006120114)
DETROIT - Both General Motors and DaimlerChrysler reported increases in U.S. sales in November, while Ford sales slipped 10 percent for the month, according to reports issued Friday.
GM said Friday said sales rose 6 percent from a year earlier, when demand fell after the automaker scaled back discounts. The world's largest automaker sold 297,556 vehicles in the United States last month.
Looking ahead, GM said it plans to make 1.14 million vehicles in the first quarter in North America, down 9 percent from a year earlier.
The automaker said its fourth-quarter production forecast remains unchanged at 1.11 million units.
Too soon for a GM victory lap
Ford blamed a 10 percent decline in November sales on a drop in truck sales as consumers moved to more fuel-efficient options.
The second-largest U.S. automaker said it sold 182,259 vehicles in the United States last month, compared with 201,711 vehicles a year earlier.
Results for Ford include its import brands and some medium- and heavy-duty trucks …
