We all knew the 53% sales drop for Chrysler was huge but this bit of news really puts things into perspective:
Things were so bad last year that a single Toyota model, the Camry/Solara midsize car, outsold the entire fleet of Chrysler LLC’s passenger cars.
That is… just… scary. I do not see how Chrysler will make it through 2009, even with government loans.
