Interesting Comparison and Results: GM Auto Sales in China vs. GM Automobiles Predicted Reliability and Value

Just this past week Forbes Magazine published an article “Worst-Made Cars On The Road” which article (actually a set of slides) presented a pretty bad picture of the vehicles made by Detroit — primarily GM and Chrysler (there was only one Ford vehicle in the list that I saw).

The article surprised me a bit.  Why?  Because GM is growing fast in China!!!  Signs of that are both in the reports published by industry analysts as well as in the actual cars on the road :-)   GM cars are everywhere…

Per published statistics GM has been gaining market share steadily in China.   Business Week also published a brief article showing large numbers for GM — growing fast in China with 60+% growth in sales in March…!

So the real question is what comes next — the Chinese consumers driving the fortunes of global automakers up?

(Side note:It is not only GM that is showing such huge gains in sales in China — Toyota, Hyundai among others are also growing fast…)
