Ford, GM Notch Sals Slge As Detroit Bracess for Slump

The stocks entered two of the three major car manufacturers in Detroit to excess on Tuesday, when Ford and Gres Motors told increased sales in the second quarter.

However, the new total market data indicates that the surprise – which other auto manufacturers also felt – was largely nurtured by the panic buyers trying to apply for customs tariffs. Anxiety now is that the second half of 2025 will be like driving a built -in sedan below the Rubicon Road.

The auto industry and the potential American cars in the road race with the economy, somewhat.
