How many vehicles did Chevrolet sell globally last year? A shiny 4.76 million, passing its own goal and driving parent company, General Motors', sales to over nine million units, a 7.6 percent gain versus 2010 numbers. Chevy's own numbers were up 13 percent in the United States in 2011, with huge gains in China (9.5 percent), Russia (49 percent), Vietnam 979 percent), German (21 percent), and Turkey (30 percent) as well. 1,775,812 vehicles were sold in the U.S. alone.

So, what accounts for all of this growth? Dan Akerson, GM Chairman and CEO, explains, "Chevrolet's impressive growth in both established and developing markets is the result of a strong new product lineup that meets the diverse needs of consumers around the world. In addition to Chevrolet's record-setting sales, the entire lineup of GM vehicles is meeting customer needs for fuel-efficient cars and work vehicles as well as unmatched luxury."¹

Some of the most popular Chevrolet vehicles this year were the Chevy Cruze (which led overall sales), the sporty, youthful Chevy Sonic, and the new mid-size Chevrolet Malibu, which Munday Chevrolet has  available in the  special edition White Diamond Malibu variant. And, there's more to come. Tim Lee, President of GM International Operations promises, "In 2012, we will continue to expand our range with even more great vehicles as we pursue further growth in our key markets."²
