However, you left out:

Rental car companies alone accounted for just over 30,000 vehicle sales. Without the rental companies, Ford sales would have been up only 13% in the month.
But including sales at the Volvo unit Ford is in the process of selling, its sales total topped GM's for the first time since August 1998, when a strike briefly shut many GM plants."

Right now I'd imagine Ford is thanking God for rental companies! And Volvo, of course.

I'm pretty sure rental companies' money is just as green as everyone elses.
