GM Sales Up 32% in February, Buick Sees Higher Growth

Chevrolet, Buick, GMC and Cadillac dealers in the U.S. reported sales of 138,849, up a combined 32 percent compared to February 2009. These results were driven by the continued strong growth of new GM crossovers and passenger cars.

GM’s Chevrolet, Buick, GMC and Cadillac brands continue to build momentum in the marketplace. Retail sales for GM’s four brands were up 7 percent for the month, driven by strong consumer demand for GM’s crossovers.

February retail sales of GM’s newest crossovers – Chevrolet Equinox, GMC Terrain and Cadillac SRX – were up 198 percent compared to the vehicles they replaced. This was the seventh month in a row that retail sales of these vehicles were up more than 100 percent.

Buick highlights: Total sales up 47 percent; retail sales up 18 percent; Buick LaCrosse retail sales rose 100 percent.
