Oshawa, Ontario (November 3, 2015) — Chevrolet, Buick, GMC and Cadillac dealers led the industry for the month of October delivering 23,268 vehicles versus 22,002 in October 2014, an increase of 5.8 per cent. Total GM Canada sales for the 2015 calendar year to date are up 5.5 per cent.    

John Roth, vice president, sales, service and marketing for GM Canada said, “GM Canada was the industry’s top seller once again in October because of strong retail customer demand for our Chevrolet, Buick, GMC and Cadillac cars and trucks. Our year over year Chevrolet and GMC trucks were up 15.2 per cent in October while our Cadillac sales increased 46.5 per cent.”

Roth added, “We are also enjoying very strong customer interest in our technology leadership in key areas like OnStar 4G LTE Wi-Fi that allows passengers to live stream on up to seven devices at a time, as well as seamless voice activated Apple Car Play and Android Auto.”
