Cadillac May Lead the Way for Electric Vehicles for GM
Although we haven’t seen a large number of electric vehicles offered from the GM brands, the ones that we have seen have been extremely successful.

This sales strategy offered an amazing amount of success for the Wrangler and is a strategy that’s going to be used again by FCA and now will also be used by GM.
