After releasing the 2009 numbers for the Invest in Americaprogram, CUcorp CEO David Adams said that he has reason to beoptimistic about the program in 2010.

In December, credit union members purchased more than 14,000 GMand Chrysler vehicles through Invest in American, a jump of 40%over November.

In 2009, 229, 344 GM and Chrysler cars and trucks were soldthrough the program, which totaled $3.5 billion in new autoloans.

"The 2009 numbers show that we were able to achieve greatresults in a very difficult environment. I think we can increasethose numbers in 2010. Analysts are predicting a 20% boost in newauto sales in 2010 and credit unions should be able to grab marketshare through these promotions," Adams said.

Chrysler also announced that it has expanded its Invest inAmerica credit union-preferred pricing program to include all 2010model year vehicles.
