General Motors became so dominant that the U.S. Government at least discussed breaking it up claiming they had achieved a monopoly in the market.
General Motors is often credited with inhibiting the development of mass transit in the U.S.
We often forget our history, but GM was so dominant through the early 70s and even well into the 80s. But every year I worked there the market share dropped except for 2.
In 1999, GM sold 5 Million units in the U.S. market. By 2012, that was halved to around 2.5 Million units.
