NOVI, Mich. -- An executive with General Motors said Friday the company sees U.S. auto sales growing by 2 million next year, according to The Associated Press.
General Motors Co. Vice President Brent Dewar said GM is projecting U.S. sales of 10.5 million vehicles for 2009 and 12.5 million in 2010 as consumer confidence improves.

He said August sales for the Chevrolet brand were strong but there will be a payback in September. The government's Cash for Clunkers program definitely pulled sales forward from later in the year.
