X-Man, regarding the Challenger sales increase, if you think back to a year ago, about the only Challenger available at this time were the Numbered SRT's limited edition of which there were only 6400 built if memory's correct and since we know not all 6400 were sold in the month of April it wouldn't take much to have even a 200% (intentionally inflated) increase.
Like you, I suspect those with the significant increases are due to fleet, not retail.....
AFTERTHOUGHT
Ya know, I was just thinking, I believe the number of NewCo dealers stand somewhere around 2000, (I could be wrong as memory isn't what it used to be) but if I somewhere close on that number, even assuming no fleet in those numbers, that's still only an average of 47.85 new vehicle sales per dealer for the month, How long can dealers survive if those numbers are any where close to accurate.
