How about that--put out a quality product and people will buy it.

Analysts still overlook that foreign makers now offer superior SUVs and are slowly (quickly) creeping up on American truck quality.

Low gas prices won't help American sellers much longer.

Ford said demand for its midsize cars -- the Ford Fusion, Mercury Milan and Lincoln MKZ -- and for the Mustang remained strong, and sales of the F-Series pickup and Explorer and Expedition SUVs all showed higher sales compared with September 2005.

This article is incorrect. The MKZ wasn't even being sold last month. The Zephyr, which the MKZ will replace, was Lincoln's midsize offering.

I only buy American. Cars are much too big an item to send the $$ overseas

Yeah, and I'll bet Jesse Jackson is grinning from ear to ear as he and his crooked pals are getting $6billion dollars of Toyota's customer's hard-earned cash. Hurry up and pay your rightful reparations/jizya all you former slave owners! Just like being a dhimmi, if you ask me.

Clearly, the only way for General Motors to come back with stronger sales is to introduce a Hummer H4 and give us more variety.

It will be great when Toyota and Honda put the Detroit Dinosaurs out of business, especially Ford, Ford should continue to be boycotted for advertising in homosexual magazines, especially after seeing Representative Foley's conduct, to think that Ford uses their profits to target magazine readers like him, I would never buy a Detroit car.

I dunno... I bought a 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix GT and I love it. I also own a 2005 Chevy Suburban. Also a great vehicle.

It wouldn't hurt GM to improve dealership service. I just went in to get a chipped key for my Century, the counter dude didn't care if I lived or died. Just careless, rude service.

A hundred bucks for a bit of metal and 5 minutes of his time, he could have at least thanked me for my business.

I like my Buick, it's a great car, but the customer service at GM and Ford is as bad as it gets. Some Dale Carnegie training would go a long way.

This new full-size Toyota Tundra, manufactured in America, hits the showrooms in February. The Big 3 cannot be too happy watching this threatening in the rear-view mirror. My Toyota stock is trending well ...

The Japanese automaker's car sales also gained, helping the company post a 25 percent year-over-year sales increase in September to lead all manufacturers in the U.S. marketplace. Wow.
