This video was put together for a friend with whom I agreed to give an annual report from Consumer Reports every December on Auto Companies. CR isn’t 100% accurate, but they give you the general idea. Like the Chevy truck in the background. That truck has been MUCH MORE RELIABLE than CR said it would.
Based on the December 2008 Consumer Reports magazine, here are the results for 2008. Also, here is the status of the big 3 domestic auto companies:
GM sales: -41% GM trucks: -39% GM cars: -44% Request from the $700 billion bailout: $18 billion
Chrysler sales: -47%
Request from the $700 billion bailout: $11 billion
Ford sales: -30%
Request from the $700 billion bailout: $9 billion
However, Ford’s sales have increased over the past two months, mainly because of increasing sales of the F series trucks.

Very nice video …
Very nice video Daniel consumer reports is basically my bible for looking up cars it is a really helpful tool espically when I bought my fusion oh and msn autos really helps too. Great work!
The partner program …
The partner program is chump change unless you have a billion subscribers. Not that my channel is high-volume, it’s not, but it’s better than average. With it’s current volume I might make $2.00 a month. My hourly rate that I bill at is between $120-210/hr. A simple business decision tells me that the time and effort I would need to put into it to replace my income (or even slightly supplement it) is an absolute waste of time! Unless you are/become “famous”, the partner program is a joke.
People on here …
People on here definitely argue about stuff,
disagree and so on and so forth among other things.I hate to see the stuff you got into about the opinions and all of that stuff.
Hardly makes it worth it.Dealing with all of this stuff that goes on among people on here the way it does and especially for someone to deal with it even if you got any money from Youtube with their partner program depending on how much money you get paid for being one of those and that depends on each person on that.
you must be talking …
you must be talking about geometroman91 in the beginning

daniel i enjoy all your videos. this is a excelent one. I have to agree with consumers too. i read their auto issue and well thats how i ended up with my corolla. my other 2 choices were subaru and honda. I was looking at more then that though. but top three were subaru honda toyota. Oh amn I love my corolla. I have beaten on it and it refuses to die. Not syaing i beat on it much but I drive it/use it way it was meant to be.
I haver to agree though everyone has their good and bads.
Ford,toyota,GM, …
Ford,toyota,GM,dodge,honda,mazda, etc..
moreless people go off either what there parents use to think, or just go off the fact that the other manufacture is a enemy of the one they favor.
ive worked on all of them, and now work on all diesel pickups, and after awhile ya learn not to favor one truck, cause all are good trucks, all have there down moments and all have there up moments. on the big 3 no matter what they sayd that there gunna get a bail out so no worries there.
