GMs January Sales up 18 percent on Crossover, Truck Demand

Chevrolet up 20 percent with Silverado up 25 percent
GMC up 29 percent as every truck and crossover posts gains
Cadillac up 3 percent driven by XTS, Escalade
DETROIT General Motors Co. (NYSE: GM) dealers in the United States delivered
202,786 vehicles last month for the companys best January sales in seven years.
Total sales were up 18 percent compared to a year ago. Retail sales were up
14 percent and fleet deliveries were up 32 percent.
Consumers feel very good because more people are working, the U.S. economy is
expanding and fuel prices are low, said Kurt McNeil, U.S. vice president of Sales
Operations. Consumer and commercial demand for trucks and crossovers is really
driving our business, and our move into the small crossover segment with the
Chevrolet Trax and Buick Encore, and mid-size pickups with the Chevrolet Colorado
and GMC Canyon, was well-timed.
Year-over-year pickup deliveries increased 42 percent, following last months
43 percent increase. Large pickup sales were up 22 percent and more than 8,000
all-new mid-size trucks were delivered. GM is the only U.S.-based automaker
competing in this segment.
Sales of crossovers and SUVs were up 36 percent year over year, with the
Chevrolet Equinox and Traverse, the GMC Terrain and the Buick Encore all posting
their highest January sales ever. Chevrolet will unveil a redesigned Equinox at
the Chicago Auto Show on February 12.
