Chevrolet Sells a Record 1.3 Million Vehicles Worldwide in Q2, Up 2.3 Percent Over Last Year

General Motors' decision to make Chevrolet a global player much in the likes of the Ford brand is paying off, at least in terms of sales.

The bowtie brand delivered close to 1.3 million vehicles globally in the second quarter of 2012, up 2.3 percent over last year, marking the best quarter ever for Chevrolet and the seventh consecutive quarter of record-breaking sales.
