As would be expected following the loss of a half-million vehicles in the U.S. market, pickup sales are through the roof for September. In total for the month, GM outsold Ford IN pickup trucks again. GM sold a total of 87,535 trucks and Ford sold 82,302. Silverado was the big sales news for GM garnering a total of 55,236 units. Colorado also sold well with 11,271 units sold. Both the Sierra and Canyon were relatively flat. It seems that GM may have emphasized the Chevy brand on its shared production lines for the month. GMC sold 18,106 Sierras and 2,922 Canyons in September.

 

Other sales highlights for September included crossovers form all brands. The Cadillac XT5 was up almost 60% and is now within striking distance of the industry-leading Lexus RX. The Chevy Equinox was up 80% and is now selling at a rate of about 27K units per month, putting it in the top five overall in its segment, after being nearly last. Buick's crossovers continue to make gains and the Encore is now at a rate of over 8K per month.

 

Declines in luxury cars continue with every Cadillac car down about 30%. Buick's car sales are all but gone now. Buick's best-selling car, the LaCrosse was down over 40% to just 1,100 units for the month.
