Thanks to the recent release of the November sales figures- Terrain sales are going thru the roof!!!   November was an amazing month for the Terrain.   First it sold out in dealerships across the nation and as a result, it also was the best month that Terrain has ever had!

The Terrain's sales were up by 28 percent during the month of November compared to last November.   Overall, the Terrain was also up in sales by an amazing 44%.   This means more units were sold last month than it has in any previous month in its ENTIRE history!   Based on that great piece of information, there should also be additional safe and satisfied drivers on the road this December than there have been in years past!

 "Terrain has had a big impact on GMC showrooms since it launched two years ago,"  said Brian Sweeney, vice president of GMC Sales and Service.   "It brings in more customers new to GMC than any other model and sales continue to grow as more crossover buyers look for the brands signature capability and design but don"t need three rows of seating."

So why is this vehicle so HOT ...that's an easy one.  The biggest factor in the increase in sales for the Terrain can be summed up in 2 words: Terrain Denali.   The Denali line adds extra luxury and comfort to previous amazing vehicles such as Acadia, Yukon, and new this year- Terrain.

The upscale Terrain Denali which is selling like hot cakes features brand new style upgrades such as a new chrome grille, satin chrome moldings, as well as the latest ambient lighting, wood interior accents, and leather door inserts.   The Denali Terrain also features new comfort and functional additions, such as power seating and a programmable rear lift gate.

It shouldn't come as a surprise but both the Terrain and the Acadia were listed as "Best Buys" by the Consumer's Digest for the month of November.   This new baby is speeding out of Scott McCorkle's Liberty Buick GMC, so it's best to come get yours now before the holidays while they're still in stock!
