IF GM's slide has in fact stabilized (they've lost approx. 1% MS per year since '99, and lost .8% this past year), then the sales crown will continue to be theirs.
As to "coming product", CAFE '16 looms, when all manner of new/fresh product will be necessary by ALL manufacturers. Who does what, in the meantime, and when, will pave the way to Market Share riche$... |
One thing to keep in mind when looking at the loss of market share for GM, at least couple years, is how much can be attributed to the loss of half their brands in the US. In 2007 Hummer, Pontiac, Saab, and Saturn accounted for about 690k units. For 2010 it was under 20k, and 2011 will probably be less than 1000 (all these recent sales are from new cars just sitting on lots). That is a massive chunk of the drop from 3.9M in '07 down to 2.2M for 2010, not all of it obviously, but it was a one time deal and nothing like it will be happening again.
