GM's U.S. Divisions Deliver 338,380 Vehicles in September
* GM Retail Sales Up 1,385 Vehicles, Compared With Last Year, Led by
Saab, Cadillac, Hummer, Buick and GMC
* Segment Fuel Economy Leaders Chevrolet Silverado and Tahoe, GMC
Sierra and Yukon Post Sales Increases
* 2007 Go To Market Strategy Driven by 23 Vehicles Offering 30 MPG and
Backed by the Best Warranty Coverage in the Industry
DETROIT, Oct. 4 - General Motors' dealers in the United States sold
338,380 new cars and trucks in September. The company sold 1,385 more retail
vehicles in September than the year before. Retail truck sales, led by full-
size pickups and utilities, were up 2 percent. Retail car sales were down 12
percent, partly due to inventory constraints of Chevrolet Aveo, Cobalt and
Malibu. Retail sales of 246,797 vehicles were down 3 percent on a sales day-
adjusted basis.
"GM's truck business was boosted in September by our segment-leading fuel
economy and the addition of the industry's best coverage, including the 5-
year/100,000 mile warranty program," said Mark LaNeve, General Motors North
America vice president, Vehicle Sales, Service and Marketing.
GM continues to reduce its reliance on low-margin daily rental sales.
Sales to daily rental companies were down 26 percent compared to year-ago
levels, while our commercial fleet business was up 12 percent. This ongoing
planned pull-down of low-margin daily rental sales resulted in total September
sales of 338,380 being down 6.8 percent compared with a year ago on a sales
day-adjusted basis.
"Our retail business was solid in September and in line with expectations.
Importantly, we continue to experience strong customer demand for our launch
products and industry-leading lineup of fuel efficient vehicles. Having
products like the Chevrolet Cobalt, Malibu and newly redesigned 2007 Aveo in
such high demand in the market place is gratifying," LaNeve said. "We're on
track to sell more than a million 2006 model year vehicles this year that
achieve 30 mpg or better on the highway. We will go even further for the 2007
model year by increasing the number of fuel-sipping vehicle models in the '30
mpg or Over Club' by 9 vehicles, or more than 60 percent, to 23 models. More
Americans every day are realizing we have a great story in fuel economy." (A
list of the 2007 '30 mpg or Over Club' is shown further down in this
document.)
"In addition to our great lineup of fuel efficient vehicles, we have
launched the best warranty coverage of any full-line automaker with 5
years/100,000 mile powertrain, courtesy transportation and roadside assistance
for each of our 2007 models," LaNeve added. "And, there is no deductible for
the warranty, which is fully transferable."
Due to the success of new products, and recent support of the best
warranty coverage of any full-line automaker, GM has seen sales over the last
few months above the targets set in the North America Turnaround Plan. GM
market share has improved in every quarter of 2006, and was at about 25
percent for the third quarter 2006. Calendar year-to-date, GM's retail selling
rate remains above 3 million vehicles on an annualized basis and was 3.15
million in the third quarter.
Saab, Cadillac, HUMMER, Buick and GMC all saw retail sales increases in
September. Saab led the pack with retail sales up a powerful 45 percent,
driven by 9-3 and 9-7X. Cadillac sales are up 22 percent retail, with strong
showings by DTS, STS, SRX and the entire Escalade lineup. HUMMER continued to
show very positive results with H3 sales up 19 percent, helping the division
sport an overall 10 percent retail hike. Buick retail sales are up 4 percent
led by Lucerne, LaCrosse, Rainier and Terraza. GMC was up 3 percent retail,
with sales increases of the Sierra, Yukon, and Yukon XL.
"Customers are recognizing GM's leadership position when it comes to
products that offer outstanding value and fuel economy, whether that's a small
car or a full-size pickup," LaNeve said. "We just revealed our brand new 2007
Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra full size pickups at the State Fair of
Texas -- two vehicles that lead their segment in estimated highway fuel
economy and outstanding value." GM has announced carry-over pricing on the
most popular versions of the all-new 2007 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra
pickups.
