Toyota and Honda sales are bolstered by the midget cars that are in vogue
today. GM and Ford do not offer midget cars. Seems to me that is
temporary. Midget car buyers are not generally the average US new vehicle
buyers that buys a new vehicle every three or four years. Fords hit was the
F150, but it is end of the model year. Major F150 buyers will soon be
buying 2007s, not leftovers.
