GM SALES FROM THEIR FOUR CORE BRANDS FROM AUGUST 2009

General Motors has emerged from bankruptcy. That’s old news. GM sales are lower this year than last. Hmm… old news.

Take a look at August’s car sales, then SUV sales, and finally truck sales. Click any Graph to see a larger view of these Sales Stats.
