Summary: with the almost-here any minute arrival of the new ATS to showrooms Cadillac sales in September reflected weaker CTS sales — as perhaps buyers waited to see the ATS in person. The ATS wasn’t in the showroom for the whole month and we’ll have to wait and see October sales to judge its success.

Cadillac XTS sales grew to 2500, a nice mark and good progress for that model.
GM Notes:
September’s car sales increase reflected a strong start for the new Chevrolet Spark and Cadillac XTS, continued strong sales of the Buick Verano, Chevrolet Cruze and Chevrolet Sonic, and a second consecutive sales record for the Chevrolet Volt. September also marked the first deliveries of the all-new Cadillac ATS.
