GM Holden trailed behind Hyundai by selling a total of 8,283 vehicles in March, down 18.8 percent from a year ago, according to the industry data.
Still, GM Holden was ahead of Hyundai in cumulative sales in the three months through March 31. The Australian unit of General Motors sold 24,777 vehicles between January and March, compared with Hyundai’s 22,723 units during the cited period.
Japanese carmakers kept the top three places in sales of cars in March by taking advantage of a weaker Japanese yen.
