Chart Of The Day: May Volume By Manufacturer

We’re still taking email requests for Chart Of The Day [editors@ttac.com], but today’s chart isn’t one of them. This little data nuglet, of May volume by manufacturer, was requested by popular acclaim in the comments section of the last COTD… and was bound to be posted eventually anyway. After all, brand volumes are all well and good for armchair junior execs to wrangle over… but the armchair CEO demands volume by manufacturer. Let the harumphing begin!

    VAG still has a long way to go from the looks of things. Hyundai is really doing well, with a little more work they could leapfrog Nissan and Chrysler! I would love to see a similar chart from the last five years for reference.

    "VAG" is pretty ancient history -- it's been "Volkswagen Group" for a long time now. Not to mention that Porsche Automobilholding SE owns both Porsche AG and Volkswagen AG (for now, until they flip that upside down). And is Kia included in the Hyundai numbers? Hyundai only owns something like 40% of Kia.

    Bank Of Change: "How do we do it? Volume..." Last time I checked, in a capitalist scenario, all that matters is profit. If FIAT can make 1MM USD selling outdated RAMS, they are light-years ahead of GM who make no profit, regardless of how many units they sell. Did anyone take Econ in HS? Anyone? GM has been a dead horse since the 70s. Nothing has really changed since, and, as such, neither will the results. Please learn to read a P&L before you proffer that GM has a prayer of survival - save for suckling at the taxpayer/government teat.

      "Last time I checked, in a capitalist scenario, all that matters is profit." Every system has its flaws.

    jpcavanaugh: The Odyssey is outsold by the Town & Country. --- Is it a fair comparison knowing that the Odyssey costs twice as much as the Town & Country? Can I say that the BMW 5 series is uncompetitive, because it's way outsold by Toyota Camry? (Again, double in price.) Look at the sales chart for both companies for the last 10 years and you will know that Chrysler is past tense already. The competition is between Hyuidai/Nissan/Honda.
