I think you need to sit down to hear this. Ready?

GM's top selling car in April was a compact. No, really.

But wait, there's more. It sold better than the Corolla.

Is April a big fleet month for GM or have they finally turned the nation's buyers around?

With sales up across the board and a class class leader in the Impala, GM had a great month.

GM's sales growth may not be the same as Hyundai but it's an amazing result nonetheless.
