The Ford F-Series remains atop the list of the top 10 best-selling vehicles in the U.S. for November. However, sales were down significantly across almost every brand in the market.
The biggest loser this month was Chrysler, with sales down 47% compared to November 2007. Nissan followed with sales down 42%. GM next was down 41%. Toyota was down 33.9%. Honda down 31.6%, and Ford rounded out the big-company slow-sales picture with sales that were off 30%.
Nearly every make saw significant drops. Hyundai and Kia were down 40% and 37%, respectively, while luxury automakers BMW and Mercedes-Benz were down 36% and 38%, respectively.
What the numbers show is that, despite common beliefs, the sour automotive market is not just a domestic problem. Things are so bad in Germany that the government there is considering a bailout of its automakers.
The top 10 best-sellers list is below.
