GM Improves Forecast For 2010 U.S. Sales; January Sales Will Be Up “Double-Digit” Over Year Ago

[Purveyor]

General Motors today announced a more confident forecast for U.S. industry sales this year and said it expects to end January with higher sales compared with a year ago.

GM projected the industry would sell 11.5 million to 12 million vehicles nationwide this year, up from the previous projection of 11 million to 12 million sales, according to Mike DiGiovanni, executive director of global market and industry analysis.

The Detroit automaker strengthened its forecast because of signs that the economy is strengthening, he said.

“Clearly the U.S. and global economies are continuing to strengthen,” he told reporters today.

GM’s total U.S. sales will be up “double-digit” in January over a year ago and the company will also see an increase in market share, he said.

2. I for one am heartened by GM marketing and product changes

The HHR is an awesome car both in form and in substance. Nine vehicles with 30 plus MPG. Hell, even a V6 version of the Camaro that pumps out 304 hp at 29 MPG. ALL this, and the trimmed off the dead weight quick, fast, and in a hurry. Good job GM and GM workers!
