About The Numbers
July 2015 had 26 selling days, the same as July 2014
Last time I checked , I believe our governments , federal and provincial , gave GM approx. 12 billion after bankruptcy , to protect factory jobs and help keep GM stay afloat . Now GM can’t seem to close down some operations here fast enough . If GM starts building Buicks in China , the negative publicity , I think will be on every radio and TV , with devastating results….. hurting GM sales and image , in this country , big time !!

Not sure how XTS was down 12.3 units?
Thanks for pointing that out, Tomko. Fixed!
I see a disturbing trend in the last few weeks of disturbing sales results coming from the General . Definitely something to keep an eye on .
