General Motors reports best March sales in five years

General Motors Co. sold 245,950 vehicles in the United States in March, up 6 per cent compared with a year ago. Retail sales increased 4 per cent, fleet sales were up 12 per cent and the fleet mix was 27 per cent of total sales.

"GM delivered its best March sales in five
years thanks to a strengthening economy and new products, and we are expecting our third consecutive increase in market share versus last year," said Kurt McNeil, Vice-President of US Sales Operations. "Sales of smaller cars have been robust for some time. Trucks have improved in lockstep with the housing market and the strength of the crossover market signals that America's families are more confident about their financial health."
