"Cadillac continues its momentum with tenth consecutive month of increased sales in the Canadian market," said Rob Assimakopoulos, general manager of marketing and communications for GM Canada. "Cadillac has increased its sales by 33% since the beginning of the calendar year with its award-winning ATS and its XTS, which is built in Oshawa. Later in the year, the new CTS will complement the range of all new cars from Cadillac, which focuses on performance, design and technology as drivers of luxury cars want. "
