weaker mix

Bus/Financial - Finance (general) / Stock report
English term or phrase: weaker mix
The word "mix" appears in a stock report in the following sentence:

Global vehicle sales and production should rise in 2011, and GM's revenues should advance about 11%. Profit margins should benefit from the improved volume and expected reduced incentives needed due to competitors' production stoppages, partly offset by a weaker mix and higher raw material costs. Currency could be a wild card, but would likely have only a modest impact on profits.We forecast industry sales to rise 10.5% in 2012.

We are not sure about the meaning of "mix" in this context. We have translated it as "combinación más débil", we would appreciate feedback on this choice.

Many thanks in advance!

Explanation:
"combinación más débil" while not wrong, does not say very much, perhaps it might be better to spell things out.
