Detroit –  Cadillac continued its 16-month run of year-to-year sales gains, reporting   U.S. retail sales increased 8 percent in May to 9,832, led by the CTS family of luxury cars and Escalade line of luxury SUVs.

“Cadillac remains a strong, successful brand that is approaching a year-and-a-half run of consecutive retail sales gains,” said Kurt McNeil, vice president of Cadillac Sales and Service. “It’s a testament to our solid product offerings among the CTS, SRX and Escalade brands and our attention to superior customer service.”

The CTS Sedan, Wagon and Coupe posted retail sales of 3,686 units in May for a 28 percent increase compared to the same month last year and year-to-date retail sales of the CTS family are up 75 percent. The CTS family includes the high-performance V-Series models, which this year is competing against top luxury sports cars in the SCCA World Challenge GT racing series.

SRX retail sales also remained strong in May at 3,617 units. SRX has a calendar year-to-date retail sales increase of 22 percent. Since being redesigned for the 2010 model year, the SRX has continued to gain market share and receive high marks from automotive journalists and industry analysts.
