I don't think there's any sector- or stock-specific news that is moving these stocks today. The gains you're seeing are a reaction to the steep drop these stocks have taken of late and the recovery the shares have seen for the last few sessions. It's pretty much a group recovery.

company earning environment turn
In an environment where nobody's earning raises, if they turn the company around, they get rewarded.

It looks like they bought a good part of York's program, though I'm not sure they didn't plan these changes anyway. York's arrival on the board simply accelerated the changes.

Hertz has become less and less important as an outlet for Ford cars as Ford has pared back sales to Hertz and other daily rental companies. It's really a noncore business right now.

The fight between Delphi and the union is scaring people about a strike shutting down GM. There's been a lot of piling on GM in the media, too.
