If you were to add up the percentages from all of the GM divisions -- Chevy, Pontiac, Cadillac, Buick, GMC, Saab, etc, then they will rank as good as Toyota or Honda. ----== Posted via Newsfeeds.Com - Unlimited-Unrestricted-Secure Usenet News==---- http://www.newsfeeds.com The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! 120,000+ Newsgroups ----= East and West-Coast Server Farms - Total Privacy via Encryption =---- |

Chevy got 8.2%. GMC got 2.6%. Buick, Pontiac, Saturn and Saab all clearly had lower numbers still. Let's be generous and guess that BPSS got 5% between themselves. 8.2 + 2.6 + 5 = 15.8%. Toyota is at 23.4. Toyota is so far ahead of the pack that there is no way GM comes even close even if GM's BPSS brands pulled in 10% share (HAH!). Also you would have to add Toyota + Lexus to be fair. Honda was at 12.4% without Acura. Maybe GM in total bested Honda + Acura, but if so it wasn't by much. As far as product and sales effort efficiency Honda has GM beaten by a wide margin in California. Honda has relatively few models and they are all strong sellers. GM has strong selling trucks and a passel of also-ran cars, minivans and crossovers. If California is an indicator of things to come nationally then GM, Ford and Chrysler remain in deep trouble.
