|  Volkswagen and Toyota join Chrysler in delivering better than expected numbers for August as our table starts to populate.Volkswagen reports a jaw-dropping 63 percent gain. Says Michelle Krebs of Edmunds;
"If the brand continues at this pace – which, of course, is never guaranteed – VW's goal for 800,000 sales per year by 2018 may not be as lofty as once thought."
Toyota reports group sales of 188,520 units in August 2012, up 40.2 percent on a daily selling rate (DSR) basis and 45.6 percent on an unadjusted raw volume basis. Data not in table pending full press release at 10:30am Pacific. Ford and GM report more subdued numbers, but at 13 percent for Ford and 10 percent for GM much better than predicted by the analysts. GM says that sales to retail customers were up 11 percent. Sales to fleet customers were up 6 percent compared with a year ago. GM expects a SAAR of 14.6 million for August.
