General Motors’s Chevrolet beat out Ford’s namesake division for the U.S. sales title last year for the first time since 1986, reports Bloomberg. Chevrolet sold 2,669,932 vehicles, a 3.4 percent decline, while the Ford brand totaled 2,648,814, a fall of 4.7 percent, according to company figures released Wednesday. “GM will probably try to capitalize on it” in marketing efforts, said auto analyst Erich Merkle at consulting firm IRN Inc. in Grand Rapids, Mich. “I wouldn’t break my arm patting myself on the back.”
