U.S. vice president of sales, Kurt McNeil, says GM's deliberate move to cut low-profit sales to rental car companies and focus on more lucrative retail sales to individual customers is behind the drop. But the auto industry's focus on top-line sales numbers has made GM look bad compared with competitors. Kurt McNeil claims he has a strategy that can help GM to increase its sales numbers, despite the fact that GM's market share has fallen ...
