August Was Buick’s Best Sales Month of 2014
While General Motors actually saw a 1 percent decrease in sales year-over-year for August, last month marked Buick’s best sales month of 2014.
Even so, sales were down 3 percent for retail and 10 percent total compared to August 2013, which was a record-setting month last year for Buick. To date, however, Buick’s sales are up 4 percent retail and 8 percent total over last year.

“The strong growth of both the Regal and the Encore in August is further evidence that today’s Buick portfolio is resonating with consumers,” said Duncan Aldred, U.S. vice president, Buick and GMC. “Our ‘Experience the New Buick’ advertising campaign has done an outstanding job of encouraging customers to consider our brand and its vehicles. And our dealers’ award-winning customer service is turning more customers into owners.”
