and Chrysler each reported 16 percent gains compared with a year earlier.
Other automakers reporting sales Friday:
– Honda's sales rose 12.8 percent. A 75-percent increase in sales of the
new Accord helped offset weaker sales of the CR-V and Civic.

Actually there is a hidden cost of always driving a new car. Because your
car is new and its value is high, you always have to pay higher insurance
and more interest. But I guess for most people, the pleasure of driving a
new car outweighs that. |
