According to this article, Ford isn't the only car manufacturer with declining sells, their just the first we've herd about. General Motors and Chrystler have not yet reported their percentage, but it'll be close if not worse than Ford. I can understand why it's so hard for dealers to get customers in the showroom; gas is too high, and we the American economy is getting weaker by the day. Soon, no one will have enough money to buy cars or even drive. Automakers can forget about producing truck and SUV's, unless they run the same amount of miles on gas as cars do. I believe the only way dealer will be able to sell these trucks, is if they drop the price so low, now one will be able to resist. If they were smart, they would merge with a major gas company and offer less money for on gas, and sell their SUV's at the original price.
