DETROIT -- Ford Motor and Toyota Motor say their U.S. sales fell by double-digits in July as automakers struggled to keep up with consumers' growing demand for smaller, more fuel-efficient vehicles, according to The Associated Press. Ford said Friday its U.S. sales fell 15 percent for the month. Its car sales were flat compared with the same month last year, and sales of the Focus small car rose 16 percent. But sales of Ford's trucks and sport utility vehicles continued their steep decline, falling 22 percent. Toyota says its sales fell 12 percent last month, led by a 27 percent drop in truck and SUV sales. Sales of its Prius hybrid fell 15 percent as Toyota failed to keep up with demand.

Serves them right. I was at our local Lincoln-Mercury dealer ready to write a check and buy a 2009 Mercury Mariner for my wife. I asked about rebates and was told there were none for the 2009. There were some for leftover 2008 Mariner models but why should I buy a year old car? We left. I told the salesman to call me when Ford wanted to sell cars and we'll talk. If Ford wants to be hardnosed about their pricing, She'll keep driving her Jeep Cherokee.
