Chart Of The Day: GM’s Gradual Car Sales Decrease

GM passenger car volume decreased 15% through the first two months of 2015 in the United States, tumbling by more than 18,000 units, or 21%, in February alone.

With vastly improved U.S. pickup truck volume, steadily growing full-size SUV sales, and growth from the brand's crossovers, GM was easily able to overcome the car deficit to post a 10% overall sales improvement in America through the end of February.

This chart doesn't showcase volume or year-over-year change, but it does show the decreased importance of GM car sales in America since the beginning of last year. For the record, rewinding ten years to the 2005 calendar year reveals GM's car share to be just above 40%. In 2010, it was ever so slightly below 40%.
