A mere 668,000 new cars were sold in January, the lowest number since 1963. This is reflected in the sales figures of the major players in the US carmarket:
GM (-49%), Chrysler (-55%), Ford (-40,2%), Toyota (-34,4%) and Honda (-27,9%). By contrast 790,000 new cars made their way onto Chinese streets in the past month.

Edit: these are estimates courtesy of GM, the official Chinese sales figures haven't been released yet.

 

Need a subscription to read. What's GM's market share there?

 

No idea. I haven't got a subscription either, I just got the news from autoblog.

The official Chinese sales figure will be released later this month.
