But we weren't talking about total sales, we were talking about the relative increase. Therefore, it makes sense to look at the change in incentives.

Relative to last March (that chart is mislabled somehow) Toyota offered ~$700 more, an increase of nearly 50% while the industry average was down a little more than $400 or 13%. Meanwhile GM offered
~$1200 less, or down 26%.

I'm not going to go into another round of this argument. It feels like one of us is arguing oranges are round while the other says bananas are yellow.
Fine, I guess we'll leave it at that lol.
