The GM Authority Take

These results perfectly illustrate the ongoing change in consumer behavior dynamics, where consumers increasingly favor CUVs and SUVs at the expense of sedans. The healthy growth in Escalade deliveries during the month is highly beneficial to General Motors’ bottom line, as the vehicles are widely believed to be the automaker’s most profitable.
