Yeah, that's great - 3 GM models on the same platform sold through more dealers can't outsell one Toyota (or the Honda Accord) and that's before you discount the G6 being a fleet-queen. But if you add a fourth model on a 2nd platform, well then they "soundly" outsell Toyota's two models on one platform (you could even count the W-Body Lacrosse too).

No wonder Toyota is profitable and GM is not.
