Comments
Interesting that the Chinese buy over 800,000 american cars (in three months) and our so called “allies” don’t. Maybe we should drop the tariffs on Chinese goods and put them on German and Japanese cars. I know the Chinese don’t build cars here, but they will.
China is having some serious economic challenges. It will still be the next big frontier for automotive sales, but growth will slow for the next few years.
US, China and LatAm is where GM is flourishing. Do I wish they would be back in Europe?, yes but as with the last recession ( and it’s coming) you want to still able to least break-even in a bad economy.
