Subject: Chevrolet Sales Results – June 2009

With the official arrival of summer, the Chevrolet Dealer Team started to heat things up in June by posting our best retail sales month so far this year. In fact, Chevrolet retail sales were up 4.1% in June 2009 versus May 2009.

Chevrolet sales last month were paced by our all-new Camaro which posted 9,320 total deliveries and outsold Mustang in the month of June. Thanks to your efforts, the Camaro is the “hottest” vehicle in the industry right now. However, Camaro was just the start of a long list of positive Chevrolet sales results in June 2009 that included the following highlights:

• Traverse had its best retail sales month ever last month by posting 7,104 retail deliveries. Traverse retail sales were up 14% versus May 2009.

• Malibu turned in yet another fantastic performance by actually posting a 1.9% year-over-year retail sales increase despite the industry challenges.

• Silverado had its 2nd best retail sales month so far this year in June 2009.

• Aveo, HHR and Suburban all had their best retail sales month so far this year.
– Aveo retail sales were up 8.4% versus May 2009.
– HHR retail sales were up 12.8% versus May 2009.
– Suburban retail sales were up 41.8% versus May 2009.

• Avalanche retail sales were up 36.7% versus May 2009.

• Colorado retail sales were up 40.8% versus May 2009.

• We saw the first sales of our all-new 2010 Equinox last month. Our all-new compact crossover is going to be another huge launch for Chevrolet and gives us a vehicle that can go head-to-head with any competitor in the segment and win.

 

This is good news for sure. I think when the cash for clunkers program kicks in later this month things will pick up even more. I just wish they would have required you to buy an American car, I would hate to see our tax dollars go to help sell Toyota's and Honda's.

 

Good News. Get this economy going again. Hopefully another 2 Months and this Recession takes a Corner for the good.

 

All the advertisements I have seen for Chevrolet have been for Silverados if you want a 20 mpg truck. I've not seen any HHR ads, nor do I see many HHRs in the dealer's inventories.

One of my friends did just got a 4 door Cobalt. The year offer for Onstar was for two months because he refused to give out his credit card #. He had a hard time finding a 4 door with an automatic transmission. His 02 GrandAm had reached its life expectancy with 150K miles on its clock.

 

I never gave the dealer any credit/debit card numbers and still got the 1 year of onstar? Also got me 3 mo. of xm w/ no credit card.

 

Yep it costs about 39.00 for your first free year with onstar, did mine today. I guess I missed them .001" lines between the lines. But the xm is free for the three months.

And I helped get the Silverado to the #2 spot, got mine.. Well it was a sweet deal I got.

 

same here... no credit card.
