After announcing an $865 million net profit for the first quarter of 2010, General Motors has announced stellar sales results for the month of May. Together, Chevrolet, Buick, GMC, and Cadillac posted a 32 percent year-over-year increase in sales, marking the eighth consecutive month of sales gains for the four brands. Year-to-date sales for GM’s four core brands have risen 31 percent to 874,749 units – an increase of 206,994 units. This is almost twice the volume that The General has lost due to discontinuing Pontiac, Saturn, and Hummer – and selling Saab.
