General Motors U.S. Sales Up 5 Percent In December 2012: By The Numbers
0
Sponsored Links
General Motors reported sales of 245,733 vehicles in December of 2012, representing a five percent increase compared to the same period in 2011. The results are GM’s highest for any December over the last five years while being the best retail sales month of 2012 for The General.
Most notably, total retail volume is up 38 percent from November of 2012, which is double the industry’s estimated increase. Meanwhile, incentive spending was competitive with the industry, according to J.D. Power PIN estimates, and remains below many Asian and domestic competitors.
“GM’s strong finish in 2012, the industry’s momentum and the overall health of the U.S. economy make us optimistic about 2013,” McNeil said. “The budget compromise reached in Washington this week removes uncertainty and clears the way for full-year light vehicle sales to rise to the 15 million to 15.5 million unit range in 2013.”
