DETROIT, Nov. 1 /CNW/ - General Motors dealers in the United States sold
301,317 new cars and trucks in October, a 22 percent increase compared with last year. Retail sales were up 36 percent on a sales-day adjusted basis. Retail truck sales were up 52 percent, led by a doubling of full-size pickup retail sales such as Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra and a 46 percent increase in luxury utility retail sales, including the entire Cadillac Escalade lineup. Retail car sales were up 9 percent, led by Chevrolet Impala, Pontiac G6 and Saturn Aura.Who ever said Toyota buyers were smart buyers? Any research will show the conventionally powered twins of hybrids are a better buy. Toyota was smart not to make a conventionally powered twin for the Prius. That is why their other hybrids are not selling nearly as well. The average new vehicle buy in the US replaces their new vehicle, with another new vehicle. in three to four years with 30K to 45K on the clock. The hybrid cost thousands more to own, ever if held for five years.
