Default Ford F-150, Big Three still lead in sales- Honda is DEAD LAST in trucks

seems no one believes that but you, when it comes time to drop down the
big bucks and buy one though...

The Big Three still lead in truck sales, and F-150 is America's best
selling truck

Honda- that's a motorcycle ! (laughter...) How's it feel to be # 6
DEAD LAST in truck sales ?? You would know ! Honda is LAST PLACE, as
usual...

Slide Show The big news these days is not so much that the Japanese
are making a major push to get into the pickup business but how
successful the U.S. makers have been at maintaining their advantage.

That's not to say that the Japanese haven't made significant inroads
into the market. Companies such as Toyota (TM), Nissan (NSANY), Honda
(HMC), and Mitsubishi have aggressively entered the space with vehicles
that are, by and large, excellent.

This increased competition has forced Ford (F), General Motors (GM),
and Chrysler (DCX) to step up their game, knowing that maintaining
their edge in this profitable space requires constant innovation and
application. The result is that, from an engineering and design
perspective, there has never been a better time to buy a pickup.

NO STOPPING. Of course, many environmentally minded people would quite
rightly object to such a statement. The fact of the matter is that,
good as many of these trucks are, they still consume a disproportional
amount of fossil fuels. At a time when America should be coming up with
ways to wean ourselves off the internal combustion engine in order to
pursue alternate energy, the popularity of pickups remains defiantly
anachronistic, if not incredibly reckless.

What's clear is that, at least as far as the auto makers go, there's no
dilemma here. As long as they can make money selling big trucks, they
will continue to build them. In fact, for the first quarter of 2006,
Ford and GM sold far more big trucks than they did small trucks. The
Ford F-150 series, still the best-selling truck in the U.S., notched a
healthy 5.5% increase, the third consecutive month of gains according
to the company (see BW Online, 4/19/06, "America's Favorite Pickup").

What's interesting to note is that the number of big pickups sold in
the first quarter (538,262) dwarfed the number of small trucks
(140,527), but that in the latter category, the Japanese were dominant,
selling nearly twice as many small trucks as Ford and GM combined. In
fact, while Toyota and Nissan have both developed a large truck
entrant, Honda has not. Nor have they come out with a range of models
and variations, such as the $52,710 Dodge Ram SRT 10 or the $37,300
Ford F-150 King Ranch, seeming to understand that their best chance of
success lies in remaining small and waiting for the big trucks to go
extinct.

Pickup Sales: First Quarter 2006Company Q1 2006 Sales
Ford Motor 225,777
General Motors 215,242
DaimlerChrysler 109,394
Toyota Motor 73,632

Seems Motor Trend says so.

Don't even mention dropping big bucks, you don't have any. If you did
you wouldn't drive old, used crap vehicles.
