Here's a resource that has a lot of information you probably will find elsewhere. Ward's Automotive Yearbook. It contains sales for different models of cars, not just the aggregate brand sales. There also a lot of other interesting statistics in this book (like most popular options on cars, etc...).
This is a print only reference source, but if you're trying to get some Automotive Data, I think you'll find it well worth your time.

Book Review: The Presentation Secrets Of Steve Jobs
I can recommend wholeheartedly The Presentation Secrets Of Steve Jobs.
This book pretty much sums up the current cutting edge approach to presentations - honesty, passion and preparation. External appearance doesn't matter so much as authenticity.
There are also tips on how to organize a presentation. For example, define an enemy or problem and show the audience how your idea overcomes the problem. Also create an a-ha moment that the audience can take home with them mentally.
Along the way, the book also discusses the correct use of slide images and text behind you and the correct use of props. Lots more in this one - check it out.

Book Review: The Competitive Advantage of Nations
This is crucial reading for any student interested in international business.
This book by Michael Porter explores the reasons why any nation develops a competitive advantage in an industry. The answers often lie in national historical experiences, education, the nature of government regulation, access to capital, and geographic necessity.
Fascinating studies of why certain countries export chemicals, some excel in container ships, still others make the best appliances and more. Colorful analysis too of that elusive thing "national character" that will teach you how to approach this seemingly vague construct with analytical tools. The levels of trust, competitiveness (both good and bad), collaboration, openness to innovation and more traits are discussed.
After you identify and use an advantage, you must defend it! Author Michael Porter consistently stresses education as crucial in developing and maintaining competitive advantage. There are some case studies of some industries in Great Britain and United States losing their advantage, so pay attention!
Learn to analyze a country (including America) and then identify advantages.

Scarecrow Books are Great Intros for Complex Topics
All Scarecrow Press books here. The first one somehow isn't Scarecrow and then the rest are.
I have fond memories of Scarecrow Press. If you needed an introduction or overview of almost anything – the history of Panama, anthropological theorists, you name it - you would eventually run into Scarecrow Press.
Just a couple of hours reading these books did wonders to increase your comprehension of advanced or graduate-level courses.
You can either search the link above or type in your keyword and then the word Scarecrow.
