gm is still got the volume cushion, kia's growth is real but not that real. fading yes at 51
gm has structural headwinds that don't reverse in twelve months, but hyundai-kia's the founder, that long-term play, the patience, that's what actually moves the needle here.
gm is still got the truck thing locked down, and i don't see hyundai moving that needle in one year flat.
yes at 53 is a gift, gm's been treading water three years running and hyundai-kia got real distribution. sizing in.
gm is still got scale leverage on fleet sales that hyundai-kia can't crack in twelve months
gm's too big, kia's not moving the needle fast enough. fading yes at 53.
gm's structural advantage in truck and suv mix is tougher to crack than the price gap closes.
gm has been losing share for years, hyundai-kia keeps gaining. one month in 2026 they take it
gm has structural problems with dealer networks that hyundai-kia doesn't have to solve. one month?
gm's bloated lineup is their weakness here. hyundai-kia's doing one thing well and it's working
gm's bleeding suv market share to korean brands, but one month doesn't mean structural.
gm's still moving 600k+ monthly, hyundai-kia combined peaks around 380k
