GM sales by region were not much of a surprise. China sales were good, but maybe a ceiling is close to being reached there. Europe is still depressed as we all know. The 'Rest' figure was disappointing though.

Looking at brands within the group, the big ones went nowhere. I'm surprised that Opel/Vauxhall even managed to break even. Buick is popular in China, hence the growth. I'm curious why GM would have so many sales under 'Others'. Nice to see Caddy doing well.
