Cadillac CTS sales held at over 4K for June, just surpassing Cadillac SRX sales of 3,951 for the month. With the overall change in model mix total sales were down for June by 11%. Retail sales increased by 5%, but this increase was offset by planned reductions in lower margin rental sales.
DTS sales are in close-out mode; the XTS is in my mind overdue for its showroom appearance, and won’t be along until next Spring. The last few XLR and STS models are also finding happy owners. Escalade sales continue to show effects of high fuel prices.
Overall situationally a good sales month for Cadillac.
