For the first time in history, U.S. domestic brands have been outsold by foreign companies, a milestone that came a few months sooner than most expected.
Detroit's automakers had a record low market share of 48.1 percent, while foreign-based car markers sold just over half of the cars and trucks bought in July, according to Autodata Corp. The figures don't include foreign-made nameplates owned by domestic carmakers.
