Cadillac June sales were strong — breaking a trend heading into the summer. CTS broke 5K cars, SRX broke 4K, so the main producers brought their game. With the XTS shipping and the Cadillac ATS on the way at the end of the summer this is a great time for the CTS and SRX to continue strong sales.
The Cadillac XTS was not in the showroom early enough to really shine, but 753 sold immediately on arrival basically. That’s a good sign for the few days they were in the showroom — as late as last week some dealers were just getting their first XTS.

Cadillac June Sales Summary
“Across the board, June was a strong month for GM,” said Kurt McNeil, vice president, U.S. Sales Operations. “The combination of new products, available credit, lower fuel prices and modest economic growth was a stronger influence on consumer behavior than economic and political uncertainty.”
For the month, GM passenger car sales were up 12 percent year over year, thanks to a 32 percent increase in Chevrolet Malibu sales and a 21 percent increase in Buick LaCrosse sales.
Combined sales of all seven Chevrolet, Buick, GMC and Cadillac crossovers were up 30 percent versus a year ago
