The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic buckled the auto industry and, in turn, affected car sales last year. General Motors published its 2020 sales report on Tuesday and it's mostly what you'd expect - trucks and SUVs were strong performers. Happily, though, the Bolt EV also netted positive overall sales between 2019 and 2020.
When the United States began to feel the impacts of the pandemic in March, it resulted in a vast shuttering of assembly and manufacturing plants for weeks. This, in turn, affected supply - decreasing the number of new cars being built and landing on dealership lots. And since demand for cars didn't slow like it was expected to, we saw prices for new and used cars soar as a result.
Still, it seems like people were buying cars. Certain cars, that is.
Automakers are rolling out their respective sales number this week, but GM's, in particular, are interesting. Read on to see the rest of GM's sales winners for last year.
