Fun fact: a Chevrolet is sold somewhere in the world every 6.6 seconds, according to a recent survey.

With its 100th birthday behind it, Chevrolet is on pace to set an all-time global sales record in 2011, having sold 4.8 million units through the end of November, a company official said.

Chevrolet’s market share around the world has increased by nearly one half of a point this year, as it also steadily advances a goal of becoming a global brand, according to Russ Clark, Chevrolet’s marketing manager for mid-sized and performance cars.

Sixty percent of all Chevrolets are now sold outside the United States, which has long been the primary market for General Motors (GM) for most of the past century, Clark said. Chevy began selling cars in South Korea and Vietnam for the first time this past year.

Believe it or not, one in five Chevrolets are sold in Latin America, where it is the number one brand with a market share of 18.7 percent, while Brazil, Mexico, Argentina and Columbia are all now important markets for Chevrolet products from passenger cars to trucks and sport utility vehicles.

Despite General Motors’ push to make Chevrolet a truly global brand with the same worldwide reach as Ford, Toyota and Volkswagen, Chevy has not halted its effort in the United States: Chevrolet is the second placed US brand with 13.7 percent market share, just behind arch-rival Ford.

But it has gained one-full point of market share thanks to it having posted 15 consecutive months of sales gain, as it appears to be on the verge of a 16th monthly sales gain in December, Clark said.

Sales of Chevrolet passenger cars have meanwhile climbed 34 percent in recent months thanks to the overhaul of its passenger cars.

The Chevrolet Cruze was the best-selling compact car in the US, while sales of the Chevy Malibu have surpassed those of 2010.

Both the Corvette and Camaro, which has bested Mustang for the second year in a row, are now tops in their respective segments, Clark noted, while the all-new subcompact Chevrolet Sonic is selling so fast dealers have only a 17-day supply on their lots.

Not only is Chevrolet enjoying a centennial and record 2011, but we are too. With now over 165 years of experience, Hare Chevrolet is also thrilled to announce a 53% increase in sales from 2009 to 2011. Service has also experienced a huge increase in business, jumping 23% in just two years.

Dear Monica Peck,

I am writing to you about the GREAT customer service at Hare Collision. This is my second visit there in the past few years and they did an OUTSTANDING job again.

Recently, my PT Cruiser was involved in an accident. When the State Farm agent told me that Hare Collision was one of my three choices I was thrilled. My excitement was because I know what FANTASTIC customer service I can expect as I have been a customer at your dealership for a long time.

Jason explained to me in great detail what would be done to my car and when it would be finished. He saved my vehicle and I really, really appreciate it. He is very thorough and is an asset to your company. He is very professional and did an excellent job. Please extend my gratitude to him.

The shuttle driver said you were the NUMBER 1 Chevy dealer in the state. I can truly see why. From your radio ads and TV commercials to the great employees you have like Jason, it’s always a pleasure to do business with you.

Right now, I have four vehicles and three of them are from Hare Chevy. It’s all because of the GREAT customer service.

Thank you and ENJOY your day!
