Chevrolet sales in North America were down 28 percent for the quarter, due in part to planned pickup truck production cuts to reduce inventory levels. However, GM has seen very strong demand for the new Camaro which had nearly 10,000 orders on hand to be filled at the end of the quarter. Overall GM sales in the U.S. enabled it to slightly improve market share in the quarter compared with a year ago. In addition, sales in the U.S. were up 31 percent when compared with the first quarter of the year, boosting GM's market share from 18.4 percent in first quarter to 20.5 percent in the second quarter. Additionally, GM share in North America increased nearly two percentage points, to 19.9 percent, when comparing Q1 with Q2, 2009.
