- Sales Gains Driven By Launch Vehicles

35 Percent, Chevrolet Impala Up 29 Percent In Total Sales

Up 22 Percent
DETROIT, Sept. 4 -- General Motors' dealers in the United States sold
368,776 new cars and trucks in August. Retail sales were up 8 percent on a
sales day adjusted basis, compared with August 2005.
"August retail sales were up almost 30,000 units compared to last year.
That's great news. This was one of the stronger retail months of 2006, with
our performance led by such launch vehicles as the Pontiac Torrent and G6,
Saturn Sky, Chevrolet Cobalt, Impala and Buick Lucerne," said Mark LaNeve,
General Motors North America vice president, Vehicle Sales, Service and
Marketing. "Importantly, we're capitalizing on the sale of fuel-efficient
cars and trucks including such "30 mpg and Above Club" members as Pontiac G6
coupe and G5, Chevy HHR, Cobalt, Malibu and Impala, and Saab 9-3. Our large
pickup retail sales for Chevrolet Silverado, Avalanche and GMC Sierra were up
27 percent compared with a year ago. Customers clearly are responding to the
quality, value, versatility and fuel efficiency of our cars and trucks. We
encourage everyone in the new-vehicle market to take advantage of our Final
Summer Bonus Cash sales event that runs through September 5."
Due to the success of new products, GM has seen sales strengthen over the
last few months. GM market share on a retail basis has improved significantly
in the last 90 days due to great launch vehicle performance and a broad-range
of fuel-efficient vehicles.
Consistent with our North America turnaround plan, GM continues to run
above 3 million retail units on an annualized basis.
GM also continues to reduce its reliance on low-margin daily rental sales.
Daily rental sales were down 20 percent compared to year-ago levels, and were
down 23 percent compared to July 2006. Total fleet sales (including daily
rentals) were down 15 percent (14,112 vehicles) compared to year-ago levels.
Total GM U.S. retail passenger car sales are up 5 percent versus August
last year, demonstrating that GM can compete in all product categories and
take advantage of shifting consumer preferences.
Chevrolet, GMC, Cadillac, Saab and Buick all saw retail sales increases in
August.
Buick Lucerne, Pontiac G6, Chevy Malibu and Impala drove the mid-car
category. There were retail deliveries of 9,021 Buick Lucerne; 7,889 Pontiac
G6 (up 18 percent) and 10,109 Chevy Impala (up 62 percent) vehicles last
month.
Chevrolet retail sales were up 8 percent, to 144,640 vehicles, led by an

in the first eight months of the year compared to the same period a year ago.
Chevrolet HHR saw a 62-percent increase in retail sales compared to last year
and had CYTD deliveries of 53,208 vehicles. Chevrolet Equinox had one of its
best retail sales months of the year with 7,737 deliveries.
On the truck side of the market, large pickup truck retail deliveries were

11,144 Tahoe; 5,332 Suburban; 5,869 GMC Yukon; and 3,538 Yukon XL vehicles at
retail in August.
HUMMER had its second-best total sales month of 2006 with 6,711 total
deliveries. H3 led the charge, up 10 percent in total sales over August 2005
with its third best month since launch. CYTD total HUMMER sales of 46,497
vehicles were up 49 percent compared with the same eight months one year ago.
GM's luxury utilities also posted solid retail sales results in August,
with the all-new 2007 Cadillac Escalade, Escalade ESV and Cadillac SRX.
August was the best retail sales month of the year for large utilities, up 22
percent retail; large luxury utilities were up 17 percent.
GM sports cars also posted very strong August retail sales results, with a
93-percent improvement compared with year-ago levels. Corvette retail sales
were up 31 percent, with 2,984 vehicles delivered. Pontiac Solstice (1,515
vehicles) and Saturn Sky (1,073 vehicles) are continuing their brisk retail
sales pace.
LaNeve was very encouraged by strong June, July and August sales
performances, led by GM's launch vehicles and passenger cars. "Offering
industry-leading products with best-in-class features and outstanding fuel
economy means we are doing the right thing for the customer. We are seeing a
continuing stability in our sales and positive momentum."
Certified Used Vehicles
August sales for all certified GM brands, including GM Certified Used
Vehicles, Cadillac Certified Pre-Owned Vehicles, Saturn Certified Pre-Owned
Vehicles, Saab Certified Pre-Owned Vehicles and HUMMER Certified Pre-Owned
Vehicles, were 44,717 units, down 12 percent from last August. Total year-to-
date certified GM sales are 347,596 units, down nearly 4 percent from the same
period last year.
GM Certified Used Vehicles, the industry's top-selling certified pre-owned
brand, posted 38,123 sales in August, down 13 percent from August 2005. Year-

percent.
Cadillac Certified Pre-Owned Vehicles posted 3,609 sales in August, up 4
percent from last August. Saturn Certified Pre-Owned Vehicles sold 1,976
units, down 30.5 percent. Saab Certified Pre-Owned Vehicles sold 928 units,

"Although August sales were challenging, the industry's top-selling
certified brand, GM Certified Used Vehicles, increased sales 14 percent over
July, while both Cadillac and Saab Certified Pre Owned Vehicles showed
positive year-to-year gains in August," said LaNeve.
GM North America Reports August 2006 Production, 2006 Third Quarter
Production Forecast Remains Unchanged at 1.050 Million Vehicles; 2006 Fourth
Quarter Production Forecast Set at 1.130 Million Vehicles
In August, GM North America produced 465,000 vehicles (179,000 cars and
286,000 trucks). This is down 25,000 units or 5 percent compared to August
2005 when the region produced 490,000 vehicles (181,000 cars and 309,000
trucks). (Production totals include joint venture production of 26,000
vehicles in August 2006 and 28,000 vehicles in August 2005.)
The region's 2006 third quarter production forecast remains unchanged at
1.050 million vehicles (405,000 cars and 645,000 trucks). In the third
quarter of 2005 the region produced 1.146 million vehicles (423,000 cars and
723,000 trucks). Additionally, the region's initial 2006 fourth quarter
production forecast is set at 1.130 million vehicles (455,000 cars and 675,000
trucks), down approximately 12 percent, or 150,000 units, compared to 2005
fourth quarter actuals. This production adjustment does not reflect a
reduction in GM's sales outlook, but is consistent with our strategy to reduce
low-margin daily rentals, and takes into account the plan to shift production
of pick-ups to the next generation pick-ups during the fourth quarter.
GM also announced 2006 revised third quarter and initial fourth quarter
production forecasts for its international regions.
GM Europe - GM Europe's 2006 third quarter production forecast remains
unchanged at 372,000 vehicles. In the third quarter of 2005 the region built
412,000 vehicles. The region's 2006 initial fourth quarter production
forecast is set at 451,000 units, up 2 percent from 2005 fourth quarter
actuals.
GM Asia Pacific - GM Asia Pacific's 2006 third quarter production forecast
is revised at 425,000 vehicles, down 13 percent from last month's guidance.
In the third quarter of 2005 the region built 409,000 vehicles. The region's
2006 initial fourth quarter production forecast is set at 524,000 units, up 25
percent from 2005 fourth quarter actuals.
GM Latin America, Africa and the Middle East - The region's 2006 third
quarter production forecast remains unchanged at 217,000 vehicles. In the

percent from 2005 fourth quarter actuals.
