The mass exodus away from trucks and SUVs gathered momentum in April, with both GM and Ford posting double-digit drops in U.S. sales, despite relatively strong showings on the car side.

Chrysler, with its lineup more geared to the bulkier vehicles, was the hardest hit, down more than 23 percent last month compared with a year earlier.

Toyota, however, managed to post higher sales because it is much less reliant ion trucks and SUVs. GM reported a 16.2 percent decline in U.S. light-vehicle sales.

Analysts are looking for the worst year of industry sales since the early 1990s, and April has delivered more evidence to back that up.
