The GM Authority Take
After suffering eight consecutive months of contractions, GM Korea sales saw a healthy increase in January. This encouraging performance in the South Korean market came thanks to the eight percent increase in Chevrolet sales, which were driven by the excellent performance of the Colorado midsize pickup that was recently introduced in the country.
Meanwhile, Cadillac suffered a drastic decline in its sales, with each one of its models seeing double-digit declines.
