16

GM sales decreased by 15 percent to 582,269 units during the second quarter of 2022 in the United States. Sales decreased at all four GM brands, including Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet and GMC.

“GM’s sales and market share have grown each of the last three quarters, even with lingering supply chain disruptions,” said GM Executive Vice President and President, North America, Steve Carlisle, in a statement. “Our long-term momentum will continue to build thanks to the launches of groundbreaking new EVs like the GMC Hummer EV and Cadillac Lyriq, and the tremendous customer response to the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra,” he added.

      Bolt sales are pretty strong given they just restarted manufacturing in April.

      Every car they make increased. Maybe we shouldn’t have gone all in on the crossover craze….

      Just sayin, I’d like to see more sedan models.

      I guess that with the Camaro sales way up they better dump the crossover. Also keep the ICE cars.😂

      Buick down almost 57%. Wow. Malibu up 563% as they started building them again. but would be on track to sell over 100k for the year. % increase can be very deceiving based factory shutdown & chip allocations.
