Tundra Discounts Hurt Both Ford And GM
General Motors Corp.'s sales plunged in June as demand for its small cars sagged and unusually aggressive discounting by Toyota Motor Corp. hurt its pickups.

Of the major automakers, GM suffered the biggest monthly decline, with sales down 21.3 percent in a market that was slightly weaker than the previous June.

Overall, car and truck sales fell 3 percent from year-earlier levels, and the drop would have been steeper if there hadn't been an additional selling day last month.

On a seasonally adjusted basis, the annual selling rate fell to a weak 15.6 million vehicles in June from 16.2 million a year earlier.

I must say that the front-end is the ugliest in its class, but it's a Toyota, which means it's next to God.

Well, the front of the Silverado could have been far better looking than it is. It is butt- ugly! Why didn't they just use the front end of the Tahoe instead? The Tundra does look better, and I'm a GM guy.

Personally, I like the Chevy's front much more than the Tundra's, but that's beside the point. The real point here is that roles have been reversed. Toyota is having the fire sale by throwing a hefty wad of cash at consumers, while GM is trying to keep prices up (which won't last, but at least they tried). Bizarro world!
