“2016 is off to a strong start for GM Canada, with record performances for our brands”, said John Roth, vice president, sales, service and marketing for GM Canada. “We are excited to riding this momentum into the Canadian International Auto Show, which kicks off a year of nine launches across our Chevrolet, Buick, GMC and Cadillac cars, trucks and crossovers.”
Roth added that “Cadillac continues to break ground in the luxury market with its best retail sales month in the brand’s history. Later this year with the launch of the all-new CT6, we will bring customers a prestige sedan with the integration of new technologies developed to achieve dynamic performance, efficiency and agility previously unseen in large luxury cars.”

Strong start for Canada Eh!
It’s so great to see Impala sales up!!
Nice to see GMC doing so strong and other than the Spark an overall increase for all Chevy cars! Also the editors might want to edit the Corvette text in the article that says “Chevy Corvette sales were down 29.4 percent to 1,501 units” as this appears to be the US sales figures as the Canadian sales chart shows sales being up 33.3% to 28 units.
