Chevrolet-Buick-GMC-Cadillac Sales Up 25 Percent in July 2010
DETROIT - August 3, 2010: July sales for Chevrolet, Buick, GMC and Cadillac increased by a combined 25 percent to 199,432 units. Buick and Cadillac brands each sold more than twice as many vehicles in July, compared with the same month a year ago.
July marks the 10th straight month in which total and retail sales for GM's brands increased year-over-year, demonstrating the continued strengthening of each brand in the marketplace as GM continues to rebuild momentum a year after its launch as a new company.
"When we say we want to design, build and sell the world's best vehicles, we're not talking about just one vehicle, one brand, or one month," said Don Johnson, vice president, U.S. Sales Operations. "Our July results again reflect that each of our brands has contributed significantly to our gains.
"The size and scope of the U.S. market demands a strong portfolio of well-targeted brands," Johnson said. "The success of Chevrolet, Buick, GMC, and Cadillac month in and month out, indicates that the new GM's brand strategy is sound."
Buick sold 16,799 vehicles in July, a 137-percent increase over last year. Cadillac delivered 14,919 units, up 142 percent over July last year. These are the highest sales totals for the two brands since August 2008. Chevrolet total sales in July increased 12 percent compared to July last year, and GMC total sales were up 27 percent compared with the same month last year.
GM's newest vehicles including Chevrolet Camaro and Equinox, Buick LaCrosse and Regal, GMC Terrain, and Cadillac SRX, CTS Coupe and CTS Wagon continue to contribute significant sales gains. Total combined sales for these vehicles were up 77 percent in July and are up 211 percent yeartodate.
GM further strengthened its position as the industry leader in crossover sales. Total combined sales in July for the Chevrolet Equinox, HHR and Traverse, Buick Enclave, GMC Terrain and Acadia, and Cadillac SRX increased 41 percent in July and have risen 73 percent so far this year.
Combined total sales for GM's full-size pickups, the Chevrolet Silverado and Avalanche, and the GMC Sierra, were up 22 percent during the month, with year-to-date sales 14 percent higher than a year ago.
Fine, you buy what you want and I buy what I want. I promise not to challenge your buying choice and you do the same. We agree. Case closed.
PS. It has a lot to do with Ayn Rand. Read all her books and maybe you will figure it out.
I am fully up to speed on Atlas Shrugged, etc...and just about every book about our founders, etc...I order 3-4 new books on these topics every month.
I didn’t ask you not ot challenge my choices...my choices are clear - for America not against America.
Your choices are clear as long as you get what you want you don’t care if you have to buy it from a traitor.
The case isn’t closed and you have to reconcile the fact that when you had the chance you were on the wrong side of history hopefully in the future when someone asks you what you did during this time you have the guts to tell them the truth.

Love that car.. We have a Trailblazer SS and I love it, so far so good.
More people are waking up to the fraud committed during GM takeover, having not properly conducting the bankruptcy process which shielded GM and “Friends of Government” from disclosing national/international activities such as spending multiple billions for upgrades and building new plants in Mexico and China. I have had Ford 4WD XLTs since 2000 and a Navigator since ’04. Both of the Explorers have been great SUVs, ride and handle like sports cars; I hope your wife enjoys her’s.
Buy what you want COMRAD,...but don’t try to defend your new GM purchase on FR. You aren’t going to convince anybody else to buy a new Government Motors commie car.
Who said I was trying to convince anyone to buy a GM car? You either did not read or understand anything I posted. Your problem not mine.
mono: ..."New Camaro is on order. I own a total of nine GM vehicles of various vintages and they all perform well. I sleep good at night, also. ...I refuse to tie politics to automobiles."
You are trying to justify your new GM purchase to FR public. Otherwise, what is the purpose of your post? Your Rant, Comrad.
