Wow! Lots of "big 3" cars being euthanized. Strange that GM can be the

2nd highest sold by manufacturer when not a one of their cars was in the top ten sold. What explains that?

The vehicles that the Japs make are not as differentiated into various sub-models as cars (and especially trucks) made by Ford, GM and Chrysler.

The stats you see are itemized in terms of exact car and truck models.

If all sub-versions of a given model were counted together, you'd see more big-3 vehicles in that list. Especially trucks.

A lot of cars that were great in their day on the trade-in list. A lot of cars that will be decrepit piles of sh*t by the time their half the age of those trade-ins on the top sellers list. :-(

The death penalty should apply to anyone caught deliberately destroying a Jeep Cherokee or Grand Cherokee, C4C be damned.
