From the Detroit News: Ford Motor Co. led Detroit's Big Three in double-digit sales jumps in November, posting a 24 percent spike in new vehicle sales over the same month a year ago. Chrysler Group LLC was right behind the Dearborn automaker, with its sales up 17 percent. Crosstown rival General Motors Co. saw its November sales rise 11.4 percent, thanks to sales of new crossovers — the Chevrolet Equinox, GMC Terrain and Cadillac SRX . Among foreign automakers, Honda Motor Co. and Nissan Motor Co. also reported double-digit growth for U.S. auto sales in November. Only Toyota Motor Corp. posted a decline for the month, with sales sinking 3.2 percent from a year ago, as the automaker continues to struggle with last year's image-damaging recall. "Without new product to compete with and stripped of its bullet-proof quality reputation, Toyota is forced to sell on the deal," said Edmunds.com Senior Analyst Jessica Caldwell. Meanwhile, sales for Detroit's Big Three appear to be stabilizing after enduring nearly two years of economy turmoil. "Sales are up in many segments," said Edmunds.com Senior Analyst Karl Brauer. "It's still not a blistering hot market, but it looks like the spring thaw is starting — early," Brauer added.
From the Jackson Clarion Ledger: Activity is picking up around the Blue Springs plant that will build the Toyota Corolla starting next fall, company officials said.Toyota continues to hire workers, and essential equipment should arrive later this month. As of Tuesday, 177 workers had been hired in various divisions at the plant, said David Copenhaver, vice president of administration for Toyota Motor Manufacturing Mississippi. The company hasn't announced a specific start date. With the plant expected to employ about 1,000 people initially and 2,000 once fully operational, many jobs have not been filled. As of Monday afternoon, 23,223 applications had been filled out for Toyota jobs, said LaRaye Brown, spokeswoman for the Mississippi Department of Employment Security. Toyota employees will start at $15 an hour and in five years reach $21 an hour, she said.
