I think this is a hard thing to judge properly, especially with many of GM's old sales records being based on sales akin to how mortgages were sold.
Of course, that doesn't discount the fact that was happening pretty much across the board with all car manufacturers in the US (at least that's the image I got reading the press from over here).

What is car selling like these days in the US since the sub prime mortgage situation and economic downturn?
Are people still being sold loans (badly) to buy cars more easily?
