GM, Ford auto sales slip from last year; Chrysler upBy Earle Eldridge, USA TODAYDespite generous incentives, General Motors and Ford Motor saw sales fall in October from a year ago.Most other automakers had sales increases. Overall, sales grew 2.2% in October from a year ago, according to numbers tracker Autodata. That's a seasonally adjusted annual pace of 16.8 million, slightly ahead of the 16.7 million sales last year. GM, the world's largest automaker, sold 4.9% fewer vehicles than a year ago, including 5.5% fewer cars and 4.6% fewer trucks, Autodata says.Full article here --> http://www.usatoday.com/money/...x.htmBTW, anyone have the October 2004 Vibe sales figures yet???

Ouch, ouch, and further more, OUCH!Such hatred I've never seen.Seriously guys, Chrysler's not so bad. Much as I loved my Vibe (and will own another one at some point) I do have to say that my Chrysler has far fewer rattles, better quality interior materials and a far superior stereo. Of course, the initial price of the Sebring is also a little higher than the Vibe. I just happened to get a good deal on mine.On that note, I'll let this go back to its original discussion, just wanted to state my case and with all the love I can give the Vibe, I have to give Chrylser some credit here.

No 'bad Vibes' were intended in my posts, Millster! When Ragingfish replied, I remembered that you'd recently purchased a DC product... and the rest is history!
