GM SETS NEW WORLD SALES RECORD . . . Third-quarter global sales for GM were up 4 percent compared to last year, thanks to record-setting results from LAAM, Asia-Pacific and GM Europe. All told, GM sold 2.38 million cars and trucks around the world in the third quarter of 2007. This included seeing the 21st consecutive quarter of year-over-year improvements outside the U.S.

Highlights included a sales jump of nearly 22 percent in LAAM, bolstered by a 45 percent jump in Cadillac sales, a 27 percent increase for Chevy and a triple-digit boost from HUMMER. In the Asia-Pacific region, GM China saw a 21 percent increase that put the group on pace to become the first to ring up 1 million sales a year in that country. Overall, the region notched a 16 percent increase in sales compared to the same time last year. GM also had the highest quarterly volume among top-ten manufacturers in Europe, partly spurred on by Chevrolet’s record third-quarter sales of 113,000 vehicles, up 28 percent. Cadillac also contributed significantly by posting a 61 percent sales increase for the quarter.

“GM global sales of 7.06 million vehicles for the first nine months of the year reflect solid results and more than 2 percent growth. We’re on track to have our second-best annual sales performance in our almost 100-year history,” said John Middlebrook, GM vice president, Global Sales, Service and Marketing Operations.
