Profits on each car sold by manufacturer
BMW was the most profitable company last year, BMW Group total sales were 1.32 million cars&trucks, for $3.6 billion US -> BMW made on average $2780 profit for every car sold.
Other makers, & profit for every car sold: BMW $2780 Audi $2040 Toyota $1918 Honda $1653 Hyundai $826 Chrysler $632 VW $214 Ford -$142 Mercedes Benz -$490 GM -$571 GM actually lost $571 for every car they sold!! Shocking to see MB there too

Re: Profits on each car sold by manufacturer
Toyota raised their pricesa few years ago to help the domestic car market as having them completely fail will affect everyone in a negative way.
Unfortunately, I do not see much of a future for GM. They are heading south fast.

GM fell off the wagon when they stopped making the Grand National.

Re: Profits on each car sold by manufacturer
I dont know where this is sourced from...But I am assuming the numbers came from dividing net income over units sold
Thats not a very accurate representation of profitability of the companies because it includes factors that arent necessarily cash, like amortization, and gains & losses on sales...it also includes non-operating expenses like interest and taxes A company could be very profitable selling the cars, but could have alot of interest payments, making their profit per car seem much smaller than it is just some food for thought

I an see GM falling behind as they really dont have anything to offer anymore unless you are in a midlife crisis or a soccer mom.

Re: Profits on each car sold by manufacturer
On a flip note though, I would have thought Chrysler would be higher. They seem to have the moste exciting and inovative vehicles coming out now....my opinion of course.

Re: Profits on each car sold by manufacturer
That doesnt mean that GM sucks as a company...it just means that they're such nice guys that they're practically GIVING thier cars away!
