The GM Authority Take
March marked the first month that the all-new 2019 Silverado/Cheyenne and 2019 Sierra became available in Mexico. The new trucks posted noteworthy sales volume increases. However, other vital models dragged GM Mexico sales down during March. These include the Chevy Cavalier, Equinox, the discontinued Cruze, Express, Malibu, Suburban, Tahoe, and Traverse, as well as the GMC Yukon, Terrain and Acadia plus every single Buick model.
We aren’t sure what’s responsible for these downward swings in sales volume, but posit that there might be availability issues of the aforementioned models.

Comments
If GM wants to sell in Mexico more vehicles they need to return the pick up s-10, a great truck for work, we also need the malibu and a cheeper blazer I havent yet seen one in the Street.
Looks like they don’t want to sell there. Just build there.
