Jesse Toprak Sales Quotations

The market is healthy. The year-over-year decline is mainly because of the exceptional sales volume we experienced last March.

Gasoline price spikes will generally help sales of the Fit and compact cars in general.

As far as impact on sales of Chevy trucks, there was very little. A 10 percent increase in fuel efficiency isn't going to make people rush into these vehicles.

Compact cars and compact SUVs are selling particularly well, while sales of trucks, luxury cars and large cars are suffering.

When you adjust for selling days, auto sales are essentially flat compared with this time last year. We anticipate May will be more robust.

This month, compact cars and compact SUVs are selling particularly well, while sales of trucks, luxury cars and large cars are suffering.

Incentives do work, up to a certain point, to give sort of a stimuli to sales and bring showroom traffic. It's just that you can't rely on incentives to bring people into the showroom day after day. It gives people a sense of urgency. You need to get this deal now because tomorrow, it's not going to be here.

February sales are typically much more robust than January's, but some may be surprised that this month even exceeded last February's sales. We attribute this in part to dramatically renewed consumer interest in compact vehicles.
