Following the success of the last six months, April 2010 was a very successful month for GM U.S.A. Sales of the four core brands – Chevrolet, Buick, GMC, and Cadillac – increased by 20 percent year-over-year, with total sales coming in at 183,091 units for the month. While these numbers represent a 2,315-unit decrease from March 2010, they mark the seventh consecutive month of double-digit increases in year-over-year sales.
A few interesting factoids:
- GM’s launch vehicles (Chevrolet Camaro, Chevrolet Equinox, Buick LaCrosse, GMC Terrain, and Cadillac SRX) now account for one of every four GM vehicles sold at retail
- Retail sales of GM’s full-size pickups – Chevrolet Silverado, Avalanche and GMC Sierra – were up a combined 20 percent in April and are up 8 percent year-to-date
- Retail sales of GM’s mid-sized crossovers – the Chevrolet Traverse, Buick Enclave and GMC Acadia – increased 26 percent in April and are 15 percent higher year-to-date
