“The all-time sales record clearly reflects the success of GM Europe’s multi-brand strategy. This is a result of building strong brands, offering attractive cars and a special focus on building our sales in central and eastern Europe,” said Jonathan Browning, GM Europe head of sales, marketing and aftersales.
