* PICKUP TRUCKS * USA: * GM Posts Record Profit In 2015 - ** The Best Selling on January 2016

* Michigan - Thanks to trucks and China


-- General Motors posted a record 2015 pretax operating profit of $10.8 billion, according to Automotive News. That’s a huge jump from 2014... Almost all of that profit came from North America, but GM was able to hold on in China even during a sharp market downturn there. Europe wasn’t so lucky:.. The company’s International Operations division, which includes China as well as several Asian markets such as Korea and India, posted a 3 percent increase in pretax profit, to $408 million... That unit would have lost money without China...

** Illinois - 2015 one of the most profitable years in automotive manufacturing history
-- After the strong push every pickup truck maker made at the end of 2015 to make it one of the most profitable years in automotive manufacturing history, January 2016 sales were more subdued. Not only did at least 14 states experience serious weather issues for almost a week, but there was one fewer weekend this January compared to January 2015...


... Those issues aside, the only big surprises are how well the Nissan Frontier and Toyota Tacoma continue to sell (the first with hefty incentives, the second with almost none) and how sluggishly the F-Series started the year. It's worth noting that the Chevrolet Colorado sales have begun to plateau as well, dropping from a 2015 finishing position of No. 7 to No. 8.sselling...
