Sales of trucks were stronger recently because of lower gas prices as well as HUGE incentives placed on these vehicles. That being said when you look at the top 10 on the list 7 are small cars. Doing some quick math indicates that even with the stronger sales of trucks, they were still declining 10% faster in unit sales than small to mid size vehicles.
While the margins may usually be higher on the trucks, considering the incentives required to get the number up, one would really have to wonder if those vehicles aren't nearly as profitable as they were in the past.
