CNN.Money.com reporting 18.5% as well. So what gives? Stock off $00.69 at $10.81.

I see pretty strong numbers for the smaller products in the lineup; G6, Malibu, Cobalt, Vibe and G5. And it is nice that the Tahoe and Silverado get better mpg than the Seqoia/Armada and Tundra/Titan, respectively.

What does "unadjusted" mean when they say "down 8%, 18.5% unadjusted". WTH?!!
