DETROIT — Sales fell at General Motors, Toyota and Volkswagen in September, an odd month that appears likely to snap a 27-month streak of gains for the U.S. auto industry.
GM posted an 11 percent decline compared with a year ago as the company even reported falling sales of its redesigned full-size pickup trucks. Pickup truck sales have been a strong point for the industry as small businesses return to dealer showrooms. Volkswagen sales were off 12 percent, while Toyota sales were down 4 percent.
But Ford and Chrysler appeared to have outperformed the industry. Ford sales were up 6 percent, while sales at Chrysler rose 1 percent.

Did you say GM. Government Motors. They still owe taxpayers money for Obamas Socialist bailout.
B/C we do not have jobs...
Who can afford the prices of new cars or trucks? I seen some of them in the malls going for 30 or even 40 thousand dollars! Who makes the kind of money to pay these prices?
GM will be back in bankruptcy soon. They just released brand new truck models with incentive already on them.
