At least not on GM’s part. In related news:
GM Channel Stuffing WTF!?

Which is why we will present the November update of total dealer “inventory” (which rose to a record for the fresh-start company 788,194, or a record 99K increase in two months) a without commentary, except to say: WTF!?

According to liberals, building inventories are a sign of an upswing in the economy, just look at the GDP figures. The economy is going swimmingly.
This brings me back to that previous Zero Hedge article showing shrinking US GDP % against the world. Has the under count of inflation really been that bad? If we were to use GM as a gage, any sales unit decline has been offset by a corresponding cost increase to show no decline in dollar terms. Could that be actually correct?
