roll-overs show the ten-year data trends. What surprised me was how GM has taken the bulk of the loss, with Chrysler actually holding pretty steady.

Very interesting view. I didn’t know that GM had such a big share and had lost so much of it.

One thing that would be interesting to see that this doesn’t show…how the size of the market has been shrinking. Looks like it’s overall down 37.4% YTD 2009 compared to 2008. So, for GM a double-whammy…shrinking share of a shrinking market.
