      Under the Chevy listing, “Cadillac sales are up 2.7 percent to 135,305 sales” **and** also under the Cadillac listing, “Cadillac sales are up 14.5 percent to 13,505”.

      I think there is a typo or two in your figures.

      Good to see the Cruze and Verano WAY up. On the other hand, the Regal is really struggling. Except for the performance-oriented GS model, perhaps GM should consider dropping this car.

        Around here there are Regals everywhere. I see at least two at every red light.

        I think the issue is pricing. A Verano is $23k, Regal $29K and LaCrosse $31.6K.

        The Regal also gets worse MPG than the Verano and the LaCrosse,

        The LaCrosse needs to get a bit bigger and the Regal can then get a touch larger to separate it from the Verano. Regal should also drop to $27k.

        But that is a longer term solution. Perhaps they should sell only a Turbo version with a GS option available.

      And GM continues at about 18% of the US market.

        If American car buyers bought more of their national products and stopped buying imports, then GM could be at over 50%!
