"Automakers Volkswagen, Chrysler and Hyundai pulled away from rivals on Thursday, unveiling strong sales and profits driven by growth in the Americas and Asia.
Carmakers that rely heavily on European sales, by contrast, are struggling with cut-throat price competition in a dwindling market as government budget cuts, weak wages growth and rising unemployment depress consumers' spending power.
Robust sales in North America helped U.S. maker Chrysler Group LLC, managed by majority owner Fiat Spa (FIA.MI), to post its best quarterly profit since its 2009 bankruptcy.
Chrysler's auto sales rose 33 percent in the quarter, led by its home U.S. market, where it gained market share on a first-quarter sales jump of 36 percent. Quarterly profit jumped to $473 million from $116 million a year ago.
"Another positive quarter - built on sales gains that have surpassed the industry average - is affirmation that the Chrysler team is maintaining its focus," said Sergio Marchionne, chief executive of both Chrysler and Italy's Fiat."

Obama has abandoned any hope of winning over reasonable people.
Demagoguery which he hopes to use to inflame the base is all he has.

Not really.
Frankly, the one I see crapping his pants is Romney, because he doesn't have a better excuse for his actions than he did 18 years ago.
The big problem Romney has is the same problem John Kerry did.
John Kerry tried to paint himself as a guy who won some medals in Vietnam, so we could trust him on the War on Terror.
Just ignore the fact that he spent years as a dirty hippy anti-war protestor or that he spent 20 years in the Senate undercutting the Pentagon at every oppurtunity. Nope. he's a War Hero. Look at his Purple Hearts.
And then the Swift-Vets showed up and said, "Meh, not so much. We were seriously considering fragging him. And when he said the stuff about us he did after the war, we wished we had."
Romney's got the same problem. He's the "Job Creator". Ignore the fact of the 1000 factories, shops and stores his company closed or the 10's of thousands of people he laid off. Ignore his one term in office where his job creation was the weakest in the nation. Nope, he's a job creator. Really.
And then the GST and AmPad employees who lost their jobs thanks to Bain show up and say, "Nope, not so much. That guy really screwed us over to make a quick buck".
Now, yeah, I guess you can make an "economic argument" that what Bain did was necessary.
But that gets totally trumped by a 28 year steel worker who got screwed out of his pension and health care because Bain made a fast buck.
It puts a human face on the question, and doesn't make Romney look very humane.
