-- within these numbers a lot of -- look at except for Ford up only four tenths of a percent what happened there.

Well I want to thank contract man I can't guarantee there in person in the that is usual but I don't have the combination of being I think -- They would be were a little bit -- a bar at the mentally -- for a little bit higher sales -- -- But we really weren't little bit disappointed in the fusion.

I did and which is going through a model changeover but we're really.

They were off 30% year every year while he yet they're only there about flat here every year typically that's a little bit that it.

It can be really be a variety of things that -- overall.

Ford car sales were up 4%.

Their -- sales -- a little bit stock care that previously but that was okay because of the Ford Ranger -- track.

At least for a very very bad -- -- -- that.

Eight shown that there's eight ballot -- and an air -- -- -- it can continue.

To be a force within that company and it really hopefully well -- keep Wall Street and I ED I doubt who it going to be taking over at.

-- -- and a huge contrast to Ford's lackluster performance Chrysler are up 10%.

Was it just an easier comp or are they crash and it.

I you know Chrysler is just unbelievable all right eight we had a forecast -- the 120000 units.

They did twenty stick -- and it's.

They are getting -- -- DeKalb different vehicles like did Dodge Dart to at this small compact sedan that they didn't really even after the market before.

So it -- it they're getting incremental borrowing is.

-- vehicles like -- Dodge Caravan is doing really well for them off does it Jeep Grand Cherokee has -- She did getting help from both their cars and their track and that really wasn't going on last year.

Yeah all right Rebecca thanks so much for that ain't around can't.
