The General’s four remaining brands have posted a 21 percent year-over-year sales boost in the U.S. for the month of October, recording 168,704 total sales – up from 151,056 in November 2009. This tallies up the 2010 U.S. sales total for General Motors’ core brands at 1,885,818 units year-to-date.
Though The General’s strong sales numbers are usually attributed to a certain model such as the Chevy Cruze, or a segment such as crossovers, this time GM experienced strong results from top to bottom. Even the seemingly insignificant Chevy Aveo posted a 47 percent increase in sales. Other key gains were all bread-and-butter, including a 17 percent increase in all passenger car sales and a 16 percent increase for all full size trucks; crossovers lead the charge once again with another big increase of 39 percent – as displayed in the graphic above.
