t 1 THE CANADIAN STATESMAN, MAY 9,2001 PAGE 23 GM sales holding steady She Canadian Statesman Visit Durham's bast on-line classified advertising directory durharnregion.com OSHAWA - April was a good month for locally-built General Motors' Motors' vehicles but the company still ended with a sales decrease. Cars and trucks built in Osliawa proved to be popular with customers last month which saw trucks sales jump 6.6 per cent and car sales drop 7.7 per cent, leading to an overall 1.5 per cent decrease. GM delivered 43,534 vehicles in April, consisting of 20,544 trucks and 22,990 cars. Sales, service and marketing vice president Dick Conlin said several Oshawa-built vehicles had a good month in April. "The Oshawa-built Chevrolet Impala Impala leapt to record levels last month, finishing the best-ever month just shy of the 2,000-vehiclc mark while another Oshawa-built car, the Buick Century, sold over 1,300 units," he said. "We are thrilled with the continued strong sales of these core mid-sized vehicles in the GM stable. "General Motors' full size pick ups and sport utilities also sold well last month, led by the cvcr-popular Oshawa-built Chevrolet extended cab pickup (up 19.5 per cent.) It really really is a built-in-Oshawa story, for April vehicle sales. All our employees employees have a lot to be proud of, their quality contributes to everyone's success." Mr. Conlin said the Canadian market "is the most competitive we have ever seen" but expects GM to win the "dog fight."
