DETROIT – U.S. dealers for GM’s brands – Chevrolet, Buick, GMC and Cadillac – reported retail sales of 102,420, up 3 percent compared to January 2009, and 145,098 total sales (up 30 percent). These results were driven by the continued strong growth of new GM crossovers and passenger cars. For the month, GM dealers reported 146,825 total sales (including other brands), representing a total sales increase of 14 percent from the previous year.

“This is the fourth month in a row that Chevrolet, Buick, GMC and Cadillac have shown a collective year-over-year retail sales increase,” said Susan Docherty, GM vice president, Sales, Service and Marketing. “Our long-term plan to continue to focus and strengthen our brands is delivering results.”

Chevrolet, Buick, GMC and Cadillac comprised 98 percent of the company’s retail sales in January, compared to 85 percent a year earlier. Retail sales, including other brands, in the U.S. were 104,122 during the month. This represents a 10 percent decline from a year ago, driven by other brand sales – Pontiac, Saturn, Saab and HUMMER – that were 90 percent lower. GM dealers delivered 42,703 fleet vehicles, comprising 29 percent of total deliveries for the month.

“Our launch vehicles such as the Chevrolet Equinox and Camaro, Buick LaCrosse, GMC Terrain, and Cadillac SRX continue to attract new customers to our brands,” Docherty said. “In addition to styling and fuel efficiency, customers have told us they want safe, high quality vehicles. They can have peace of mind knowing that our vehicles come standard with our 5-year, 100,000 mile powertrain warranty and OnStar.”

Given Fords actions and product line I'm glad to see them at the top. They deserve to be. As soon as GM and Chrysler pay off any Federal assistance debt then I hope they are at or near the top as well.

GO MALIBU

I think 'Yota is going to look pretty bad for a bit here, lol. That's too bad; the same for Chrysler... Gulp...

As long as a domestic companies are controlling the automotive industry again I'm happy.

Competition figures edited, turns out toyota is doing worse than we thought.

*DGthe3* · 02-02-2010, 05:35 PM

Look at what the non-core brands have done:

Saab -46% (511 units)
Hummer -78% (265 units)
Saturn -91% (562 units)
Pontiac -96% (389 units)

The only other brand in the bottom 5 is Smart at -84% (278 units).

Your logic falls a bit short, the better those companies do the quicker the money gets payed back. Ford and GM are both making many great products which are easy to root for while Chrysler has many mediocre products and their new Fiat overlords. I still hope Chrysler can at least stabilize sometime soon, they just aren't near as easy to root for as the other two IMO.

I'm not surprised....but happy that they are doing so poor. I HATE those cars with a passion. At that pace, Camaro will sell more cars in 3 weeks than the entire 'smart' division sells in a year. HA.
