GM’s China Auto Sales Pass US For First Time in History
General Motors reported today that it delivered 8,389,769 vehicles globally in calendar year 2010. What is interesting though is that General Motors says it sold more cars and trucks in China last year than it did in the U.S. for the first time in the companies 102-year history. The company sold 2.35 million vehicles in China. That is exactly 136,583 vehicles than it sold in the U.S. Toyota kept its spot at number one when it comes to global sales ranking in 2010, outselling General Motors by less than 30,000 units!
