The GM Authority Take

GM Mexico sales dropped once again in October 2019, become the ninth consecutive month of decreasing sales. The trend follows that of the overall Mexican market, with October representing the 31^st consecutive decline in sales volume due to a significant reduction in automobile demand in the Latin American country.

Chevrolet and GMC again suffered double-digit declines, while Cadillac and Buick increased sales volumes for the second consecutive month. Despite the decline in overall GM Mexico sales during October, Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra deliveries were very healthy, increasing their sales by double-digits in October.
