GM SALES FROM THEIR FOUR CORE BRANDS FROM AUGUST 2009

General Motors has emerged from bankruptcy. That's old news. GM sales are lower this year than last. Hmm... old news. General Motors has plans to operate more safely and sanely as a smaller auto conglomerate by reducing brands with just four makes on sale in the future.

Take a look at August's car sales, then SUV sales, and finally truck sales. Click any Graph to see a larger view of these Sales Stats.
