I noticed that as well.
One time, I made a post on the Avalanche forum about how my truck was the only domestic (If you call a Mexican-built truck, domestic.) in the parking lot of my local park.
The rest were Mercedes, BMW, Toyota/Lexus, Honda/Acura and Nissan/ Infiniti.
Several posted back that - in the midwest and south - they rarely see anything but Chevy/Ford/Chrysler.
Toyota does seem to sell a lot of trucks and SUVs in the US..
What cars would those be? I don't think there are many car makers making air-cooled cars anymore..
Indeed they do. but not anywhere near as many trucks as do the Domestic.
Toyota best selling vehicle is a car, the Camry. Its worst selling car sell at a better rate than the Tundra, however the sales of which have been dismal since day one.
On the other hand Ford and GMs best selling vehicle is a truck, both of which have sold at a rate nearly double that of the Camry.
Back peedling? Saving face?
GM slide to #3 and is on skid plates.
Admit it.
As for GM being #1 in the US, it isn't by much and falling. And it would be zero. Factor in this years bailouts to GM, it works out to a taxpayer debt funded subsidy of over $60,000.
How could even the inept GM fail with a $60,000 subsidy per vehicle. LMAO.

It is for GM.
When hyper stagflation hits, GM will go under fast. You will wake up one morning to see GM gone for good.

Maybe you should rephrase that.
GM can't compete int eh small vehicle market because they make utter crap.
Vega, Firenza or Geo anyone?
I rest my case. Unless GM is going to import them from GM-Asia/Pac, they don't have a chance in hell.

You had said "new" cars.. VW doesn't make that old-style Beetle anymore. I don't think VW makes any air-cooled cars anymore..
