Small car sales picking up
Yet another down month for U.S. auto sales. April numbers show big drops for all three of the major American automakers. Sales figures for Ford, GM and Chrysler declined from 12 percent to 23 percent compared to April 2007. The shaky economy and rising gas prices kept consumers away from traditional Detroit favorites like pickups and SUVs. But Americans were buying small cars and in record numbers. About one in every five cars bought last month was a compact or subcompact.
