The link titles at Yahoo! News Search Results for general motors sales chief for these stories right now are "GM N. American sales chief leaves after sales drop" and "General Motors says US sales chief leaves following sharp drop in September sales".

I just noticed the below regarding the replacement...

Docherty had been named to lead the Buick-Pontiac-GMC brands in June 2008. She previously led the Hummer division, was brand manger for the Cadillac Escalade and served in executive and managerial positions with GM Europe and GM of Canada, respectively.

"This will infuse new ideas and an outside perspective into our marketing efforts," Henderson said.
