For the first time in nearly two years, General Motors anticipates having an increase in sales over the prior year for the month of October. The Detroit Free Press reports:
For the first time in 21 months, General Motors is on track to see its first monthly sales increase compared to the same time period a year ago, the company said today.
While official results will be announced next week, all signs point to a good month, according to Mike DiGiovanni, GM’s executive director of global market and industry analysis.
“We’re really having a good October,” he said.
October, 2008 sales for GM were 168,719 vehicles. Any increase at all would stem the tide of nearly two years of monthly sales losses compared to the previous years, which would be a huge boost for the company.
