GM Reports September Sales of 458,799, Up 20 Percent
GM Sets All-Time Industry Sales Records for Trucks, SUVs and Full-Size Pickups

Vehicle Sales, Service and Marketing. "Chevrolet enjoyed its best month since
October 2001, with strong sales of Aveo, Malibu, Equinox and Colorado. Other
launch products - Cadillac SRX, GMC Canyon and Pontiac GTO - also had strong
sales. New vehicles such as Chevrolet Cobalt, Pontiac G6 and Buick LaCrosse
should add to the sales excitement."
