GM December Sales
GM Reports 341,327 Deliveries in December
December Exceeded Expectations, Led By Strong Full-Size Truck and Utility
Sales
2006 Turnaround Plan Retail Sales Objective Achieved
Residual Values and Transaction Prices Up
Incentive Discipline Continues - Annual Incentive Spend Down $700 Per Vehicle
DETROIT, Jan. 4 -- GM dealers in the United States delivered 341,327
vehicles in December, an increase of 10 percent (43,771) compared with
November, but a reduction of 9.6 percent on a sales-day adjusted basis
compared with a strong year-ago December. GM's total annual U.S. sales of 4.1
million vehicles in 2006 were down 9 percent compared with last year's 4.5
million, due to planned reductions in daily rental and other marginally-
profitable sales.
"December was a very solid sales month for GM, exceeding our expectations,
especially in full-size trucks and SUVs," said Mark LaNeve, vice president, GM
North American Sales, Service and Marketing. "In 2006, despite challenging
conditions, we stuck to the game plan and achieved our stated goals in support
of Rick Wagoner's turnaround plan for North America. Specifically, we exceeded
3 million retail sales and stabilized market share, improved residual values
and transaction prices, lowered daily rental sales, and we accomplished all of
this while being the only major manufacturer to substantially lower incentive
spending (down $700). For 2007, we'll continue our plans to stabilize retail
volume, improve our mix, reduce sales to the daily rental market, exercise
strategic and tactical incentive programs and strengthen average transaction
prices. We will continue to provide customers with the best coverage in the
industry, including our 5 year/100,000 mile limited powertrain warranty with
roadside assistance and courtesy transportation."
"As we move to the next phase of the turnaround plan, we plan to win by
offering our customers the best products with industry-leading value and
dealer service," LaNeve added. "So we are optimistic as we introduce
exceptional new vehicles -- such as the GMC Acadia and Sierra, Saturn Aura and
Outlook, Buick Enclave, Chevrolet Silverado and the all-new Cadillac CTS."
December sales were up 10 percent compared with November, driven by a
surge in full-size trucks that offer outstanding fuel economy and value.
Highlights include:
-- Best sales month of the year for Cadillac (22,715 vehicles) with a 65
percent increase in truck sales compared with December 2005
-- Saturn total December sales up 42 percent
-- Saab total and retail sales were up 33 percent
-- Saturn and Saab saw car sales increases, and total GM car sales in
December were up 2 percent on a sales-day adjusted basis.
For calendar year 2006, GM noted several significant achievements that
point to strong consumer acceptance of its new products:
-- Including the GMC Sierra, GMC Canyon and Chevrolet Colorado, GM sold
more than a million pickup trucks in 2006. GM moved the much-anticipated
launch of the all-new full size 2007 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra pickup
trucks ahead 13 weeks.
-- Sales of the Chevrolet Equinox and HHR, Pontiac Torrent and Saturn VUE
drove GM's small utility and crossover sales up 27 percent in 2006, with
346,952 total deliveries.
-- HUMMER had a record sales year with 71,524 deliveries, up 26 percent.
H3 sales were up 63 percent, to 54,052 deliveries, compared with 2005.
-- Saturn sales for 2006 totaled a record 226,375 vehicles, a 6 percent
increase on a sales-day adjusted basis compared with 2005. The Aura, Sky and
VUE led this improvement. The new Saturn Outlook crossover is being launched
now.
-- Pontiac G6 had a 26 percent sales increase in 2006, compared with
2005. Chevrolet Impala sales were up 18 percent, with 289,868 vehicles sold.
Chevrolet HHR sold 101,298 vehicles and Buick Lucerne sold 96,515 vehicles in
2006, each building on their launch momentum.
As GM executes the North America turnaround plan, much media attention has
focused on the sales races between GM and its competitors. "We are obviously
competing in a fiercely contested global marketplace," LaNeve said. "We're
optimistic that our newest generation of products will continue to drive
revenue growth and brand image."

"Cadillac Certified Pre-Owned Vehicles posted another strong month, with

annual 2006 sales up 9 percent from 2005," said LaNeve. "GM Certified Used
Vehicles finished 2006 as the industry's top-selling certified brand for the
fifth consecutive year, while Chevrolet ranked as the top-selling single-line
make certified used vehicle brand. Certified GM brands, including GM Certified
Used Vehicles, Cadillac, Saturn, Saab and HUMMER Pre-Owned Vehicles, again led
all manufacturers with total 2006 sales of 520,189 units."
GM North America Reports December and 2006 Fourth-Quarter Production, 2007
First-Quarter Production Forecast is Revised at 1.120 Million Vehicles
In December, GM North America produced 319,000 vehicles (125,000 cars and
194,000 trucks). This is down 42,000 vehicles or 12 percent compared to
December 2005 when the region produced 361,000 vehicles (139,000 cars and
222,000 trucks). (Production totals include joint venture production of 16,000
vehicles in December 2006 and 24,000 vehicles in December 2005.)
Also, GM North America built 1.107 million vehicles (447,000 cars and
660,000 trucks) in the fourth quarter of 2006. This is down 174,000 vehicles
or 14 percent compared to the fourth quarter of 2005 when the region produced
1.281 million vehicles (483,000 cars and 798,000 trucks). Additionally, the
region's 2007 first-quarter production forecast is revised at 1.120 million
vehicles (455,000 cars and 665,000 trucks), down 20,000 vehicles from last
month's guidance. The majority of the production decrease is attributed to
GM's ongoing efforts to reduce low-margin daily rental fleet sales. The
remainder of the cuts is attributed to shifting production to the company's
new full-size pickups and the ongoing management of inventories.
GM also announced 2006 revised fourth-quarter and 2007 first-quarter
production forecasts for its international regions.
