Automakers will rant and rave this month about their sales increases over June 2009 totals. Whether they’re talkin’ ’bout the brand as a whole or individual models, automotive conglomerates are awfully happy to point to percentage signs, these % little things here, with a positive symbol + in front. Well, guess what – for the most part automakers aren’t deceiving you in the slightest.
