Total light-duty vehicle sales in November dropped 6.7% from the year before. GM and Ford continued to see their sales erode during November, with GM sales dropping 11.3% on a sales-day basis and Ford falling 18% from the same month in 2004. Toyota and Honda, however, continued to post sales gains.
Sales of full-size SUVs continue to fall, although not as rapidly as earlier this year. The decline was slowed, perhaps, by a combination of falling fuel prices and rebates. Sales of all full-sized SUVs dropped 34.6% in November 2005 from the year before. Ford suffered the most in the full-size SUV segment, with a 50.1% drop, followed by GM with a 34.1% drop.
