So GM is doing better in Canada, China, everywhere but here?

 

Basically.......... YES! And GM is PROFITABLE everywhere but HERE! Go figure?

 

Canada has always been faithful to GM.

 

While waiting for the Mrs. finish work last night, I took a drive through a local Chev/Cadillac dealer and was very impressed to look at ....everything. I never got out of the truck, but there were several there that I wanted to look at or drive. Specifically the Colorado 4 dr 4x4., CTS (obviously) and even the Malibu and Cobalt SS looked great. If I had more time, I'm sure I would have driven something. Well priced too!

I watched the sales guy at the door just wating for me to park and get out. He must have been disappointed.

Calendar year to date tells a different story.

 

GM does well in Canada cuz the big american cars are easier to get around in than a dog sled or honda in the winter when we travel from igloo to igloo during the day haha

 

Traditionally I would agree, but over the past few years, at least locally, I've seen more and more other makers cars on the road, in comparison to the number of GM cars. Sad really.

 

That's true. GM's marketshare in Canada has fallen in lockstep with its US marketshare, with maybe just a point or two difference. I can't believe when I drive through Toronto how few new GM cars there are on the road

 

I did my part. Bought a new GMC 2500 SLE crew cab with Duramax/Allison. Got the last of the older body style at a great deal!!
