The Big Three U.S. auto makers on Tuesday reported January sales figures and they were awful: Chrysler LLC led the way, with its vehicle sales plunging 55%; General Motors (GM: 2.28, -0.14, -5.79%) reported a 49% decline; while Ford (F: 1.97, -0.019, -0.96%) said sales fell 40%.
Elsewhere in the industry, Toyota’s sales fell 32% for the month; Nissan’s dropped 30%; Mercedes’ 36%; Honda’s 28%; Volkswagen’s 11.6%.
In addition to lackluster consumer sales, sales to big volume buyers such as rental car companies have all but dried up, the companies reported.
The industry has reported at least a 30% decline in U.S. sales every month since October.
But Subaru, a company that has focused on smaller, more fuel efficient cars, bucked the trend of declines for a second month in a row, posting an 8% sales increase.
