GM JUNE 2010 SALES UP 36%, 194,828 UNITS SOLD

Chevrolet-Buick-GMC-Cadillac Sales Increase 36 Percent in June
Link to article

July 1, 2010


Quote:
* Sixth straight month that GM’s four brand’s sales increased by more than 20 percent
* Calendar-year-to-date sales for GM’s four brands are up 32 percent
* GM full-size pickup sales increase 27 percent; up 12 percent year-to-date
* GM crossover sales are up 81 percent year-to-date

DETROIT – June sales for Chevrolet, Buick, GMC and Cadillac increased by a combined 36 percent to 194,828 units in the United States. This is the sixth straight month in which sales for GM’s brands increased year-over-year by more than 20 percent. Year-to-date sales for the four brands also have risen 32 percent to 1,069,577 units – an increase of 258,368 units compared to last year.

The increase was fueled by the continuing success of the company’s launch vehicles, its growing sales of compact, midsize and luxury crossovers, and some recovery in the markets for pickups and full-size SUVs.

The resurgence in large pickup truck sales was a key factor behind June’s results, according to Don Johnson, vice president, U.S. Sales Operations. Combined sales of the Chevrolet Silverado, Chevrolet Avalanche, and GMC Sierra were up 27 percent for the month, compared to June 2009 and are up 12 percent year-to-date.

“As companies continue to invest in their businesses, we expect this segment to continue to recover,” said Johnson. “We think the release of some pent up demand in the pickup market is an indication that a fundamental part of the U.S. economy is gradually strengthening.”

GM’s launch vehicles continue to be a driving factor behind the company’s sales increases. Retail sales of the Chevrolet Equinox and Camaro, Buick LaCrosse and Regal, GMC Terrain, and Cadillac SRX and CTS Wagon have increased 222 percent year-to-date through June and totaled 172,083. This represents about one out of every four retail sales for GM.

June Crossover Performance Keeps GM the Industry Crossover Leader


Chevrolet and GMC dealers reported 16,093 deliveries of the Chevrolet Equinox and GMC Terrain – a 208 percent improvement from June 2009. For the year, sales of these vehicles are up almost 193 percent, to 94,105 sales through June.

Mid-size crossovers Chevrolet Traverse, Buick Enclave and GMC Acadia continued to show improvement. During June, their combined sales increased 39 percent. Year-to-date, they are up 28 percent.

The Cadillac SRX luxury crossover maintained its impressive run with an increase of 462 percent during the month. Year-to-date, SRX sales are up 488 percent.

Month-end dealer inventory in the U.S. stood at about 438,000 units, which is about 30,000 higher compared to May 2010, and about 144,000 lower than June 2009.

June Key Facts and Brand Results:


* Sixth consecutive month that sales for Chevrolet, Buick, GMC, and Cadillac have increased by 20 percent or more.

Darn good rebates had absolutely NOTHING to do with this did it? They'd have only sold 11,440 Sierras if we didn't buy ours a few weeks ago. Glad we could help out.

Any sales number increase is good, but when you're comparing it to LAST year for GM, anything better than 0 seems to be positive. Let's wait until June '11 numbers come out before we throw on all those party hats.

Last June was a bad month, GM was down a bit relative to most of the competetion but . But what matters isn't how they do next month or next year. Its how they do compared to the competition that matters the most. If they can gain market share, good job.

Incentives, GM has been offering less incentives this year than last year. So attributing the gain to incentives is a hollow argument in my mind.

It should be noted that the Chevrolet brand alone outsold the entire Toyota/Lexus/Scion lineup. AGAIN.

Alright, autoblog posted the rest of the results. Here's how the rest of the major automakers did and their June sales for 2009 and 2008

Company 2010 2009 2008 . 2010 vs 2008 sales change

GM........ 195k 177k 266k ....-27%
Ford ......176k 155k 174k.......+1%
Toyota ..141k 132k 193k......-27%
Honda ....107k 100k 143k.....-25%
Chrysler ...92k.. 68k 117k.....-21%

The only major automaker to be above their June 2008 sales levels is Ford. Everyone else is still down significantly. I can't figure out why Honda's sales are so low relative to the other guys. GM lost 4 bands, Toyota's image was shattered. Chrysler ... need I say more? But Honda doesn't really have anything going against it yet they're in a worse position (relatively) than Chrysler is. Doesn't make sense.

And, checking back to 2008 vs 2007, Honda had posted a pretty big gain for June '08 and that was right when fuel prices were going through the roof.

You know what...I'm not only going to say kudos to GM, but kudos to all the manufacturers. People are spending more...and that's what's needed. The fact that GM is doing better than before is all that matter.

And Fenwick, have I mentioned I like reading your posts?
