DETROIT, May 3 -- General Motors dealers in the United States sold 345,404
new cars and trucks in April, down 7 percent compared to year-ago levels.
Total car sales were down 18 percent, and truck sales were up 2 percent.
GM's retail sales in April were down 5 percent compared to year-ago
deliveries. Fleet sales were down 10.5 percent. Daily rental sales declined
by 23 percent compared to last year.
"Given that the industry came in somewhat below our initial expectations,
we are pleased that our retail sales were in line with the targets established
in our North America turnaround plan," said Mark LaNeve, General Motors North
America vice president, Vehicle Sales, Service and Marketing. "Consumers
continue to respond very favorably to our new products, particularly the all-
new Chevy Tahoe, GMC Yukon and Cadillac Escalade, resulting in a combined 15
percent sales increase compared to last month."
Total sales of all GM launch vehicles were up 5 percent compared to March
and accounted for 28 percent of GM's total deliveries for the month. The
success of GM's launch vehicles is another critical component of GM's North
America restructuring plan.
Despite increases in fuel prices and contrary to industry trends, GM
posted a 2 percent improvement in total truck deliveries, driven by continuing
strong sales results for its all-new full-size sport utility vehicles and
full-size pickups. Chevrolet Tahoe sales were up 35 percent in April. Of the
13,138 total deliveries, 10,607 were 2007 models. GMC Yukon posted a 36
percent sales gain in April, with 5,978 total deliveries. There were 4,862
2007 Yukon deliveries. April sales of the 2007 model were 48 percent greater
than March results. Cadillac Escalade sales improved dramatically, with a 127
percent improvement over last year. There were 4,109 total sales, of which
3,258 were the all-new 2007 model. 2007 Escalade sales in April rose 23
percent compared to March.
Chevrolet Silverado deliveries rose 9 percent in April, and GMC Sierra
sales were up 4 percent. The continuing strength of GM's full-size pickups is
noteworthy, given that the product is approaching the end of its lifecycle.
The new full-size pickups begin arriving in dealers' showrooms in the fourth
quarter of this year.
LaNeve explained that the impact of the recent upward movement in fuel
prices is being partially offset by the fuel economy leadership across GM's
lineup, particularly its industry-leading truck and utility portfolio. "We
know that fuel economy is an important issue for consumers, and every tenth of
a gallon improvement counts," LaNeve said. "We worked hard during the
development of our new large utilities to squeeze out every possible ounce of
fuel savings, and the result was the best fuel economy in the segment.
Combine this with the E85 capability of these vehicles, which reduces
America's dependency on oil, and you've got a significant, measurable benefit
for all consumers."
GM's newest entries in the small sport utility category also contributed
to the improvement in overall truck sales. Chevrolet HHR and Equinox and
Pontiac Torrent posted solid results. HHR had its best-ever sales month and
Equinox achieved record April sales. The new Saturn Vue continued its sales
momentum with its eleventh consecutive month of year-over-year sales increases
(+25 percent).
HUMMER posted a year-over-year sales record for the twelfth consecutive
month, with total sales up 231 percent. Retail deliveries rose 210 percent.
H3 continues to drive HUMMER's record-setting pace and leads the entry luxury
utility segment by a wide margin.
Saturn posted a year-over-year sales gain of 14 percent with retail sales
up 3 percent. The improvement was led by a solid sales month for Vue and Ion.
The first sales of Saturn Sky (612) were recorded in April. Demand for the
all-new two-seat roadster continues to outpace supply, with vehicles remaining
on dealers' lots an average of only 10 days.
Saab also posted a sales gain compared to year-ago levels (+3 percent).
Its retail deliveries were up 10 percent, paced by deliveries of the 9-7X.
Certified Used Vehicles
April sales for all certified GM brands, including GM Certified Used
Vehicles, Cadillac Certified Pre-Owned Vehicles, Used Cars from Saturn, Saab
Certified Pre-Owned Vehicles and HUMMER Certified Pre-Owned Vehicles, were
46,735 units, up nearly 7 percent from last April. Total year-to-date
certified GM sales are 175,580 units, comparable to the same period last year.
GM Certified Used Vehicles, the industry's top-selling manufacturer-
certified used brand, posted 40,562 sales, up 10 percent from last April.
Year-to-date sales for GM Certified Used Vehicles are 153,052 units, up 2
percent from the same period in 2005.
Cadillac Certified Pre-Owned Vehicles posted 3,572 sales in April, up 8
percent from last year. Used Cars from Saturn sold 1,773 units, down 32
percent. Saab Certified Pre-Owned Vehicles sold 713 units, down 19.5 percent.
In its fourth month of operation, HUMMER Certified Pre-Owned sold 115 units.
"The industry's top-selling certified brand, GM Certified Used Vehicles,
continues to lead all manufacturer-certified programs, with one of its
strongest sales months ever," LaNeve said. "GM Certified sold 40,562 units
for the month, up 10 percent from last April. This is a terrific start to the
second quarter and marks the second consecutive month that GM Certified sales
have surpassed the 40,000-unit mark."

words "expect," "anticipate," "estimate," "forecast," "objective," "plan,"
"goal" and similar expressions is intended to identify forward looking
statements. While these statements represent our current judgment on what the
future may hold, and we believe these judgments are reasonable, actual results
may differ materially due to numerous important factors that are described in
GM's most recent report on SEC Form 10-K (at page II-20) which may be revised
or supplemented in subsequent reports on SEC Forms 10-Q and 8-K. Such factors
include, among others, the following: changes in economic conditions,
currency exchange rates or political stability; shortages of fuel, labor
strikes or work stoppages; market acceptance of the corporation's new
products; significant changes in the competitive environment; changes in laws,
regulations and tax rates; and, the ability of the corporation to achieve
reductions in cost and employment levels to realize production efficiencies
and implement capital expenditures at levels and times planned by management.
