GM announced a healthy 40% gain in sales over the COVID-afflicted second quarter of 2020; year to date, GM is up by 20%. FCA US, or Stellantis US, posted a quarterly gain of 32%, with the same year-to-date rise of 20%.<\/p>\n

With U.S. light vehicle sales up 57% in the second quarter, GM\u2019s 40% and Stellantis\u2019 32% are bad numbers. Toyota, the world\u2019s largest automaker, posted a year-to-date 44.5% gain in US sales; <\/span>Honda rose by 41%; and Hyundai shot up by 48%.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
