The December & full year 2009 car sales numbers came out. Not really a surprise that 2009 was uuuu-ggglly, but there are some bright spots. GM’s Oct-Nov-Dec trend for the 4 brands it’s keeping are positive. And Ford rocks. I think it looks cautiously optimistic for the state for this year, barring no more problems in the national economy (a tall order). Fun part of this interview was we did via telephone and they broadcast it as voice-over some file footage of me.
