[QUOTE=magracer]That's the best I could do, so let's see your numbers mate! ;)
Actually, I guess I could do a little better by downloading the annual reports but I couldn´t be bothered ATM.[/QUOTE]
I have no numbers as Ford/GM don't release all of [I]their[/I] numbers ;)
They make higher profits on larger vehicles, like their beloved SUVs. That's what kept Ford profitable...until the SUV market bust.
I would assume newer cars out of Detroit would be slimmer on profit margins than in the past to try and compete with Japan/ Korea.

That was a bit of a thread bump, but for this thread not much has really been said.

Average profit per vehicle sold:
[b]Audi:[/b] $2047

I don't think that's entirely accurate since at least Porsche's numbers include other profits not related to the sales of cars to calculate that number.

Yeah, I think those figures have come up before and all that'd be done to get them was divide reported profit by cars sold.
