GM August Sales

GM Reports August Sales of 472,427, Retail Sales up 4 Percent Record Sales in Trucks, Full-Size Pickups Monthly Sales Momentum Continues to Build DETROIT, Sept. 4 -- General Motors Corp. dealers sold 472,427 new cars and trucks in August in the United States, comparable (down 0.5 percent) to August 2002 levels. GM's retail deliveries were up 4 percent, driven by record truck sales. GM's overall truck sales (284,129) were up 5 percent over a year ago. Car sales (188,298) were down 8 percent, reflecting an 18 percent decline in fleet deliveries. 'GM had another great month in August, due to retail sales that exceeded strong year-ago levels,' said John Smith, group vice president of GM North America Vehicle Sales, Service and Marketing. 'Importantly, August sales continue to reflect strong truck sales and growing confidence in the economy. For the fourth time in the last five months, we set an industry record for total truck sales. Led by Silverado, our full-size pickups shattered the previous industry sales record for August. GM's total sales and share have consistently improved over the last six months, and with the introduction of 17 new 2004 car and truck models over the next year, our sales momentum will continue to build.' GM Truck Sales GM's industry-leading truck lineup continues to establish new benchmarks for the industry. Full-size pickup sales (101,819) posted yet another monthly record, improving on strong year-ago sales by 18 percent. Overall, GM pickup sales were 122,513, also an improvement of 18 percent. Sales of GM sport utility vehicles (126,597) were down a modest 2 percent compared to the best- ever industry record set a year ago. This is the fifth consecutive month in which GM sport utility sales surpassed 100,000 units. Deliveries of small utilities were up 32 percent, led by the Saturn VUE. Medium sport utility sales improved 12 percent, and large luxury utilities were up 10.5 percent as a result of record sales of both the Escalade family and HUMMER. GM Car Sales While GM car sales were down 8 percent, this reduction was largely due to a decline in fleet deliveries. Importantly, Cadillac CTS (4,278), Chevrolet Impala (29,236) and Pontiac Vibe (4,402) all had record August sales results. CTS sales were up 30 percent; Impala sales improved 72.5 percent; and Vibe sales were 14 percent above last year. Chevrolet Monte Carlo (6,936), Pontiac Grand Am (19,125) and Saab 9-3 (2,885) also had significant sales improvements over last year.

In the mid-size segment, retail sales of the Chevrolet Malibu (9,718) were up 26 percent, and the Impala (17,825) had another exceptional month with retail sales 49 percent above year-ago levels. Also checking in with strong retail sales were the Pontiac Grand Am (9,629) with a 21 percent improvement and the Saturn L-Series (6,431), which was up 31 percent.

In this press release and related comments by General Motors management, our use of the 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 11-15, 16) 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.
