GM's U.S. Sales Fall 15 Percent in June
Thursday July 1, 2:04 pm ET

DETROIT (Reuters) - General Motors Corp. (NYSE:GM - News) on Thursday said its U.S. sales fell an unexpectedly sharp 15 percent in June as its aggressive incentives and discounts failed to lure more buyers into showrooms.
The world's largest automaker said June sales fell to 380,267 vehicles, down from 429,742 in June last year.

GM has led Detroit's profit-eroding price war for nearly three years, using interest-free loans and hefty cash rebates to ratchet up sales volumes.

But analysts say GM's incentives strategy may be losing its effectiveness with consumers, amid flagging demand for some of its older pickups and SUVs.
