GM Oct. Sales up 4%, Gains Market Share - Page 3

I see lots more Malibus the last month or two so the 84% sales hike is probably about right.

I agree. My brother-in-law is coming up on his lease in March of 2010 and really likes the CTS but will not buy it unless he can lease it. He has his own business here in Toronto and could use his lease as a tax write-off.

Cadillac needs to introduce leasing for this reason alone. They cannot compete with the luxury makes without leases.

Once the 3rd shift is up and running, that shouldn't be a problem. Last I heard, they were still supply constrained.

I have to wonder how well the SRX would sell in a good auto market. A lot more....

Where are the GM hybrid numbers?

Some strong numbers there. It looks like GM is doing well with its new models. Impala needs a refresh and its pretty obvious that the G6 is the fleet queen. It's nice to see the Equinox selling so well as its a vast improvement over the old model.

Good stuff. Hooah
GM is on it's way back to regain it's spot as the Alpha dog.

WTF does Prius have to do with a Ford vs. GM post ?

Because that 8.8% of Toyota's sales is just so important.

Equally as useless of a comparison:
Silverado - 31,754
Tundra - 7,537

Why even bother replying. He should be left alone because he's just seeking attention.

I've seen TV ads for $430/mo with $2,800 down in my area for a lease on the CTS. Is Canada still considered taboo for leases?

That may very well explain some portion of the sales decline.

Where are those TRD approved, aerodynamic canoes you used to have, john? Weren't they good for another 5mpg?

?????????????

I don't get it. The chart at the GM link reads 2752 sales for October 2009.

??????????

American_Muscle · 11-03-2009, 03:13 PM

i cant believe the malibu increased by that much. And Silverado had a real strong month. I know it was Truck month but still. Nice to see. All at the same time Toyota's sales are slowing
