GM August Sales
GM Reports August Sales of 406,623, Down 7 Percent
Record Small SUV and Cadillac CTS Sales
Total SUV Sales Continue On Record Pace
DETROIT, Sept. 2 -- General Motors dealers sold 406,623 new cars and
trucks in August, down 7 percent compared to strong year-ago sales. GM's car
sales (170,634) were down 2 percent and truck sales (235,989) were down 10
percent.
'Comparisons to our record sales of last year are tough. Still, our sales
last month fell somewhat short of our expectations,' said John Smith, group
vice president GM North America Vehicle Sales, Service and Marketing. 'Some
of our newer products -- like the Saturn Vue and Chevrolet Equinox small
utilities, and the Cadillac CTS -- enjoyed record monthly sales. GM's broader
family of sport utilities also continues to perform at a record-setting pace.
Over the next few months, our portfolio will be strengthened by launch
products such as the Pontiac G6, Buick LaCrosse and Chevrolet Cobalt, along
with our new crossover sport vans the Buick Terraza, Saturn Relay, Chevrolet
Uplander and Pontiac Montana SV6.'

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.

International regions to count vehicles as production in the region of final
assembly. 1999 and 2000 data has been adjusted to reflect this
reclassification.
