U.S.- For the eighth month in a row, Buick has posted double-digit sales increases in the U.S. Led by the Enclave and LaCrosse, total sales were up 37 percent in May compared to the same month last year. Retail sales were up 46 percent for the month.

The LaCrosse had its best retail sales month since its launch last summer, with a 191 percent increase, selling 5,060 vehicles in May. The Enclave, Buick’s luxury crossover, saw a 14 percent increase in retail sales. The 2011 Regal sport sedan began arriving in dealerships in late May.

“The Enclave and LaCrosse sales are proof that customers are discovering Buick,” said Brian Sweeney, U.S. vice president of Buick-GMC sales. “We have been pleased to see eight months of year-over-year sales increases, and believe that the Regal will continue the momentum by appealing to new buyers who may not have considered buying a Buick in the past.”

The LaCrosse and Enclave are making their mark with customers and bringing new customers to the brand with 42 percent of Buick sales coming from non-GM makes.

Buick delivered the first Regal in May to a 45-year-old executive at a manufacturing company in the Chicago area. The vehicle was on the dealership’s lot for less than 24 hours before it sold. The first owner said he chose the Regal because it “is a superb car to drive on the road, with more of a European feel than any other car we looked at.” He also looked at the Toyota Camry and Audi A4, but purchased the Regal because it had all the amenities of a premium vehicle without the costly price tag.
