GM Canada October 2009 Sales Results

"October was a challenging month for GM Canada. Our sales numbers have been impacted by the winding down of the Pontiac, Saturn and Saab brands and decreased inventory levels at our dealerships," said Marc Comeau, vice president, sales, service and marketing, General Motors of Canada. "However, response to the launch products from our four core brands Chevrolet, Buick, GMC and Cadillac has been positive and we have taken steps to improve our inventory levels, including adding a third shift in Ingersoll to address the strong market demand for the new Chevrolet Equinox and GMC Terrain. In October, sales for the all-new Chevrolet Equinox were up 27 per cent."

Comeau added, "Due to positive customer feedback, we are extending our 60-Day Satisfaction Guarantee until January 2010. Thanks to the Consumers Digest 2010 Automotive Best Buy Awards, customers just got another reason to buy GM. Fifteen GM vehicles, all from GM's four core brands, received Best Buy Awards - the most of any manufacturer - reinforcing the strong quality and value proposition we offer our customers."
