While overall sales were down for most manufacturers, losses weren’t as bad as they were in February. GM was down 45% in March 2009 versus March 2008, but that’s better than the 52% decline it saw in February 2009 versus February 2008. The same can be said for Ford, Chrysler, BMW, Toyota and Honda. Nissan did see a slightly worse sales decline in March, down 37.7% versus March 2008 compared to a 37.1% dip between February 2008 and 2009 sales.
