Crossover deliveries were up 43 percent, trucks were up 10 percent and passenger cars were down 11 percent.
"The overall strength of the U.S. economy is the main force driving the market," said GM Chief Economist Mustafa Mohatarem. "With the U.S. economy strengthening, retail sales should remain strong for the foreseeable future."

Retail sales rose 0.3 percent and fleet sales declined 41 percent, in line with Fiat's strategy to reduce sales to the daily rental segment.
Toyota September sales grew 14.9 percent to 226,632 vehicles from 197,264 last year.
Sales at the namesake Toyota division gained 16.9 percent driven largely by 43.2 percent increase in Toyota's crossover and truck division. Lexus division sales inched up 1.5 to 26,196 units.
