GM Sales Up 6% in April on Crossover, Pickup Momentum
General Motors had a strong month of sales in April, moving 269,056 vehicles between its Chevy, Buick, GMC, and Cadillac brands.

Chevrolet’s April Sales Gains Driven by Crossovers and Pickups
Chevrolet enthusiastically (and somewhat randomly) plugged April 1st as the “#BestDayEver.” But did April as a whole prove to be the #BestMonthEver for the bowtie brand?

Honda is winning the battle for the hearts and minds of Millennials—and they’re doing so without actually having to release that ridiculous, youth-oriented HR-V “Selfie Edition.” The Japanese automaker recently announced that over the past 11 years, the Accord and Civic have been the two best-selling cars with Americans under the age of 35. From […]
GM’s March US Sales Live and Die on Trucks and Crossovers
General Motors’ March sales in the US were down 2.4% with just shy of a quarter-million deliveries.

Introducing the 2016 Honda HR-V “Selfie” Edition
Automakers are terrified that Millennials are going to stop buying cars and just start Ubering everywhere (although they should really chill out), and it’s made them increasingly desperate to reach the younger generation.

Chevrolet had yet another monster month, posting its best February in seven years and climbing 3.8% year-over-year with 159,788 units sold in the United States.

GM US Sales Rise Again in February
General Motors’ US sales were up 4% in February, with sales totaling 231,378 deliveries.

GM US January Sales Portend Good Things Ahead
General Motors came extremely close to pulling down sales totaling 3 million units in the United States last year. If all GM needs in order to cross that coveted threshold once again in 2015 is marginal year-over-year improvement, it would appear that the brand is well on track to shattering that expectation. GM kicked off 2015 […]
