Sales up 34,617 this year
The Terrain has made it to the mountain top in just a year's time, with sales going from essentially zero a year ago to nearly 35,000 so far this year. Other light trucks from GM are also benefiting from relatively tame gasoline prices and pent-up demand after the deep recession. Chevy's Equinox and Silverado are other examples, while the Buick LaCrosse and Cadillac SRX round out GM's list of strong sales gainers. The problem: GM also has many less-stellar performers, so overall the company's sales are up just 5 percent this year.
