luxury car sales boom in the midst of poor economy

can we say the luxury industry employees millions of people. Kill it and the poor get poorer. Nice try, huge fail
 
Dude, those patriots are keeping those people employed. How do you expect the economy to improve without consumption?

I don't know if I'd use that as an example. The auto industry sold 13 million units last year and not just luxury cars. They generated margins in the 10% range too. It was a very good year for the US auth industry as many had predicted that after the crash that the US auto industry would never sell more then 10 million units per year again....and to think.....they owe it all to a damned socialist who spent about a trillion saving the US Auto industry and nearly another trillion saving the banks that loaned most of those 13 million people the money to buy those cars.

This is the best economic news I've heard in a long time.

Really? Chrysler and GM are the top dogs in these sales again?

Yes. GM was #1 with the sale of 2.5 million units. Ford was #2 with the sale of 2.1 million units. Toyota of US was #3 with the sale of 1.64 million units. Chrysler was #4 with sales of 1.37 million units and Honda of America was #5 with sales of 1.15 million units. That was an improvement of 11.8% for GM and of 142.9% for Chrysler and those are just domestic sales figures on total cars. It doesn't include their substantial foreign business. These figures only represent cars built and sold in the USA.

and what frustrates me is I have no idea why they do that? Dems could be a permanent majority for the next generation or longer if they got their shit together on economics and ran against Republican fuck ups.
