From my GM newsletter.
General Motors has been grappling with tight inventory all throughout 2020 thanks to a mixture of low production volumes at its assembly plants, mostly due to COVID-19, and surprisingly strong demand.
GM said previously that it hoped to have 600,000 vehicles in its nationwide inventory before the end of the year, which would bring it closer to its usual level of 800,000 vehicles. That now seems unlikely, though, as the tighter inventories have been a blessing in disguise for many dealerships.
The 6 week strike last fall didn't help their position at all either.
