Auto Sales MICHIGAN (wgvu) - General Motors Corp. soundly beat Toyota Motor
Corp. in June to retain its traditional U.S. sales lead, but GM
sales still dropped 18.2 percent for the month.
Toyota sales dipped 21.4 percent for the month. Both companies
were hurt by a sluggish economy and poor sales of trucks and sport
utility vehicles.
GM on Tuesday reported selling 262,329 vehicles for the month,
compared with Toyota's 193,234.
For the first half of the year, GM sales were down 16.3 percent
compared with the year-ago period. Toyota sales were down 6.8
percent for the first six months of the year.
