Summary from the release:

Cadillac, the fastest-growing luxury brand in the United States, reported total sales of 11,801 for November – 21 percent higher than last November, with retail sales increasing 46 percent. November was the 10th consecutive month of year-over-year total and retail sales gains. SRX retail sales were up 39 percent, compared to a year ago. CTS retail sales rose 97 percent, driven by strong demand for the all-new CTS Coupe. Total sales for Cadillac are up 38 percent for the year.

Cadillac Sales 15% up in Oct 2010

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?
