Sales of General Motors vehicles were up 4.4 percent worldwide in the first quarter of 2006, the company said Wednesday. According to the Associated Press, sales outside of North America were up 15.9 percent — compared to the industry growth rate of 7.4 percent. “Our strong global sales performance during the first quarter was fueled by the growth of GM’s global brands — Chevrolet, Hummer, Saab and Cadillac — in key markets,â€? Chairman and Chief Executive Rick Wagoner said. “These brands account for one out of every two GM vehicles sold globally and complement our well known regional brands like Opel, GMC and Holden.â€? However, U.S. sales of GM’s domestic brands, which do not include Saab, declined by 5.5 percent in the first quarter of 2006.

Hmmm…domestic sales down.
Other markets are up.
They sell dumbed-down versions of platforms in the US.
European cars are well-received.
We get the Malibu.
Europe gets the Astra.
At least they’re committed to bringing some of the good stuff over as Saturns in the near future.
