Cadillac sales were up 15% (19% per sales day) over Oct 2009. Cadillac CTS sales continued to shine above 4K units per month, along with SRX sales at almost 4,500 units per month. Escalade sales were down slightly but strong.
Overall, the current incentives and sales packages are working for the CTS. The SRX continues to shine. I am excited about the upcoming 2012 XTS, to ‘renew’ the DTS/STS lines. The addition of the 2013 ATS as an expansion to the Cadillac range should be perfect, perhaps raising sales (hopefully) to 20-25k/month. Could we see Cadillac sales break 300K per year again during this decade?
