With all the news of the automaker bailout, yesterday the local tv news decided to ask area dealers how they are doing.
The answer was:
A couple months ago things were slow. Not really ever too bad, but slow. The last month however has been good. And as gas prices have approached $2.00 during the last couple of weeks, they are now busy and sales are brisk. People are looking and buying.
One manager stated, that for them, at least, the economy seems to have already turned.
Can it be that the national media (who make their money on doom, disasters, and panic), are behind the curve (as usual)?
