Sales report – August 2012
ROCKLEIGH, N.J. (Sept. 4, 2012) – Volvo Cars of North America, LLC, (VCNA) reported U.S. sales of 6,323 units, a 21.2 percent increase from August 2011, and the highest August monthly volume since 2007. Year-to-date sales are down 1 percent over the first eight months of 2011.
The top seller for the month was the award-winning S60 sports sedan with 2,038 units sold, a 32 percent increase from August 2011. The XC60 crossover finished the month with 1,898 units sold, doubling sales from last August, and for the second month in a row, set a new monthly sales record.
I called Laura, who is the Queen of numbers and the Volvo Open House later this month, and everything else that fits into her title of Corporate Communication Manager, and asked: ‘What happened last month with the sales numbers, especially XC60?”
She said, “We had inventory,” meaning we are finally getting enough cars to keep pace with demand. That’s cool.
