GM US sales up 4.7pc in May


General Motors Corp.'s US sales rose 4.7 percent in May to 375,682 vehicles as a new product lineup offset planned reductions in sales to rental car companies, the automaker said Friday.

"Our May results were extremely positive as we saw strong total and retail sales increases," said Mark LaNeve, vice president, GM North American Sales, Service and Marketing.

"Our significant market share gains in full-size trucks and crossovers (sports utility vehicles) validates the decision we made to invest in industry-leading fuel economy in these important segments."
