General Motors Corp.'s sales plunged in June as demand for its small cars sagged and unusually aggressive discounting by Toyota Motor Corp. hurt its pickups.
Of the major automakers, GM suffered the biggest monthly decline, with sales down 21.3 percent in a market that was slightly weaker than the previous June.
Overall, car and truck sales fell 3 percent from year-earlier levels, and the drop would have been steeper if there hadn't been an additional selling day last month.
On a seasonally adjusted basis, the annual selling rate fell to a weak 15.6 million vehicles in June from 16.2 million a year earlier.
