GM August Sales

GM Reports 355,180 Deliveries in August H3 Drives Record HUMMER Sales Strong Start for Chevy HHR and Impala Pontiac Sales Up 7 Percent, Paced by Brisk G6 Deliveries DETROIT, Sept. 2 -- General Motors dealers in the United States sold 355,180 new cars and trucks in August, down 16 percent from the same month a year ago. Car sales in August declined 15 percent and truck sales were off 17 percent. GM's August sales performance was in line with expectations following exceptionally strong sales in June and July, spurred by the highly successful GM Employee Discount for Everyone program. 'We knew August was going to be a tough month given extremely tight inventories,' said Mark LaNeve, GM North America vice president, Vehicle Sales, Service and Marketing. 'However, even with August sales, it's been a great summer for us, our dealers and, most importantly, our customers, who got a great deal with the GM Employee Discount Program, which hit home because of its simplicity and clarity.' GM's new models continued to deliver solid sales results in August, accompanied by favorable reviews in the press and positive reactions from consumers. For example, as Chevrolet concludes its introduction of 10 new vehicles in just 20 months, HHR and Impala are experiencing some of the fastest turn rates among GM's product portfolio, each at over 40 percent, despite low inventories (turn rates are the percentage of vehicles sold of those that are available). Chevrolet HHR deliveries surpassed the 5,000-unit mark in just its second month of sales and with the vehicle in short supply. Chevrolet's high volume car, the new Impala, is off to a strong start with more than 14,500 sales of the 2006 model in August. The HUMMER H3 is another example of increasing consumer acceptance of GM's new vehicles. H3 sales have improved every month since its May launch, resulting in a 155 percent sales improvement for HUMMER in August and a 76 percent increase for the calendar year-to-date. Automotive reviewers in North America and Europe, where it was introduced in July, have praised H3's fidelity to its HUMMER heritage, with attractive fuel economy, enhanced maneuverability and a base price of only $29,500. Pontiac sales were up 7 percent, driven by brisk sales of the G6 and the first deliveries of the coupe. Saturn sales rose 11 percent, led by over 6,800 deliveries of the new 2006 Vue. Cadillac delivered 19,262 vehicles in August, with calendar year-to-date sales up 11 percent. The employee discount program was very effective in reducing GM's inventory levels. Inventory going into September is about 764,000 units, down 407,000 units compared to last year. Only 359,000 units in inventory are 2005 models. Certified Used Vehicles August sales for all certified GM brands, including GM Certified Used Vehicles, Cadillac Certified Pre-Owned Vehicles, Used Cars from Saturn and Saab Certified Pre-Owned Vehicles, established a new monthly sales record for the certified category with sales of 50,926 units, up 20 percent from last August. This marks the second consecutive month that GM has surpassed the 50,000 mark in monthly certified used sales. Total year-to-date certified GM sales are 360,944 units, up 4 percent from the same period last year. GM Certified Used Vehicles, the industry's top-selling manufacturer- certified used brand, set a new monthly sales record for the certified pre- owned category with August sales of 43,718, units, exceeding its record- setting performance set in July. GM Certified sales were up 24 percent from the previous August. Year-to-date sales for GM Certified Used Vehicles are 306,353 units, up 5 percent. Cadillac Certified Pre-Owned Vehicles posted 3,457 sales, up 14 percent over last August. Used Cars from Saturn sold 2,843 units, down 16 percent. Saab Certified Pre-Owned Vehicles sold 908 units, up 19 percent. 'August was another outstanding month of certified sales for GM, surpassing our industry record-setting performance in July,' LaNeve said. 'The industry's top-selling certified brand, GM Certified Used Vehicles continues to set the pace for the certified segment, with a new all-time monthly sales record for the category.'
