DETROIT – General Motors Corp. (NYSE: GM) today reported significantly improved 2006 second quarter financial results. Global automotive operations were profitable on an adjusted basis, excluding special items, for the first time since 2004, and the company posted a second consecutive quarter of record revenue.

“Our European operations continue to gain momentum, posting a second consecutive profitable quarter, excluding special items ,” Wagoner said. “We are pleased with Saab’s global market performance, posting a sales increase of 24 percent for the first half of the year, and the continued growth of the Chevrolet brand in Europe. We are also encouraged by the response to the new Opel/Vauxhall Corsa, unveiled at the recent London Motor Show and scheduled to arrive in showrooms this fall.”

GM sai ostettua kampanjallaan 34400 työntekijää ulos USA:ssa. Esim. tämä painoi kokonaistulosta alas mutta koituu tietenkin hyödyksi tästä eteenpäin.

Tuleekohan Saabista GM:n lempilapsi, jos kehitys jatkuu samana. Kaikenmaailman käkkylät ja opeliskit voisi haudata surutta. :)
