Ford and Chrysler probably lost U.S. market share last month as consumers spurned their pickups and SUVs in favor of fuel-efficient cars made by Honda, according to the Detroit Free Press.
Sales at Ford may have plunged 15% from a year earlier while Chrysler's fell 5.9%, according to the average estimates of seven analysts in a Bloomberg survey. Honda sales probably rose 9% while General Motors' gained 1%, helped by discounts, analysts said.
