GM China Sees 19.2 Percent Sales Boost In August

Where there’s a market, there’s demand. At least that much is true in China, where August sales of General Motors’ vehicles rose 19.2 percent on an annual basis to 181,625 units. This brings sales of GM’s Chinese joint venture for the first eight months of 2010 to 1,567,411 units.
