Ram outsold Silverado again.

I don't get is if GM sell to many trucks it's " uh cash on the hood" too little it's "they too expensive for little horsepower". It isn't like GM is crying about the money coming off the GMTs.

No, it's about building too many in the first place which forces incentives to get rid of them AND the complete failure of their massive ad campaign against the aluminum F150.

The new Compass is hitting dealers as we speak. Going to take a couple months to ramp up. Patriot is dead. That's why numbers are down on those two.

 

Cherokee is going to be announcing a MCE very soon that cleans up the front and rear.

 

Grand Cherokee is up YoY 15%. Amazing for a vehicle that was shown BEFORE Chrysler went into bankruptcy.

 

Renegade is down for the month, but flat YoY.

 

Wrangler keeps printing money.
