[1/5/10] Consumers Continue to Shun Union Price Tags on Cars

The Wall Street Journal has some good news on the automobile manufacturing front!
Ford posted a 33% rise in December U.S. car sales, ending a stellar year for the auto maker compared with its rivals. Ford recorded its first full-year market-share gain since 1995.
Meanwhile, Chrysler posted a 3.7% decline and said its full-year sales were the worst the auto maker had seen in 47 years. The largest U.S. auto maker--General Motors--posted a 5.7% decline. Toyota said its U.S. sales rose 32% last month, Honda's December sales rose 24% and Nissan's climbed 18%.
Let's hear it for the American public's purchasing wisdom.  They aren't buying Government Motors cars!

We can wonder when Obama, the Democrats, and the UAW will get the message... and start to mandate that the consumers must buy them, or levy import quotas or duties on cars built in Right to Work states!
