General Motors and Ford Motor Co. both posted single-digit U.S. deals decreases in the second from last quarter. In any case, fiscally, Detroit's two biggest automakers seem headed in inverse headings, with GM accomplishing a record second from last quarter benefit while Ford had its weakest quarter in almost two years.
GM is expanding North American generation in the final quarter, as indicated by investigators, though Ford has taken or planned downtime at six of its 11 North American gathering plants to diminish inventories.
