GM December Sales
GM Reports 437,161 Deliveries in December
Truck and Utility Sales Set Industry Records for 4th Straight Year
Chevrolet Has Best Sales Since 1988, Cadillac Since 1990
GMC Posts Another Record Sales Year
DETROIT, Jan. 5 -- General Motors dealers sold 437,161 new cars and trucks
in December, down 6 percent compared to very strong year-ago sales, which
included significantly higher fleet deliveries. GM's truck sales (273,867) were
down 5 percent, and car sales (163,294) were down 7 percent. GM calendar-year
sales (4,707,416) were down a modest 1 percent versus 2003. Truck sales were up
1 percent, and car sales declined 4 percent.
'GM had a solid finish to the year,' said John Smith, group vice
president, GM North America Vehicle Sales, Service and Marketing. 'Once again
we set industry records in total truck and utility vehicle sales for the year
and sold more full-size pickups than any other manufacturer. Chevrolet,
Cadillac and GMC all had sales gains -- Chevrolet had its best year since
1988, Cadillac since 1990 and GMC achieved its best-ever annual sales. Our
business improved in the second half of the year, largely due to the growing
acceptance of key launch brands including Cadillac STS, Pontiac G6, Buick
LaCrosse, GMC Canyon, HUMMER H2 SUT and Chevrolet Aveo, Colorado, Equinox and
Cobalt -- all of which had their best monthly sales in December. These
successes, along with 17 all-new models being introduced this year should help
us grow in 2005.'
GM achieved a number of positive results in 2004. For the fourth
consecutive year, GM set an industry truck sales record and continued to lead
the industry with more than 2.8 million deliveries. No other manufacturer has
ever surpassed 2.6 million truck sales in a calendar year. Additionally, GM
maintained its leadership in two key truck segments. GM full-size pickup
deliveries were up compared to year-ago levels (+0.1 percent) and led all
manufacturers for the fourth consecutive year. GM sport utility vehicle
deliveries were up 5 percent in 2004, eclipsing the 1.3-million unit level and
establishing a new industry benchmark for the fourth straight year. GM
remains the only manufacturer to sell more than one million SUVs in a calendar
year and more than 100,000 SUVs monthly, a benchmark GM achieved eight times
in 2004.
Key GM brands had strong sales results in 2004. Chevrolet sales for the
calendar year were up 4 percent, resulting in its best sales year since 1988.
This improvement was led by car sales, which rose 13 percent in December and
15 percent for the year, securing Chevrolet's position as the top-selling car
brand in the U.S. Total Chevrolet sales in December were comparable to 2003
(+0.2 percent). Malibu deliveries were up 167 percent in December and 46.5
percent for the calendar year. Impala sales jumped 33.5 percent in December
and 8 percent for the year. Corvette sales rose 53 percent for the month and
26 percent for the calendar year. Chevrolet's car sales were further
strengthened by the addition of Cobalt and Aveo, which in December had its
best sales since launch and led the entry-level car segment for the calendar
year. On the truck side, Colorado had its best sales month since launch,
TrailBlazer sales increased 7 percent in December and 4.5 percent year-over-
year, and Equinox also had its best sales month, surpassing 10,000 units for
the fourth month in a row. Additionally, Chevrolet remained the full-size
utility segment leader for the calendar year.
Cadillac continued its exceptional sales performance with a 19 percent
increase in December and an 8 percent improvement year-over-year. This marks
Cadillac's best annual sales since 1990. Cadillac's success was led by record
CTS sales, which were up 43 percent in December and 16 percent for the
calendar year and annual sales improvements for Escalade (+4 percent) and
Escalade ESV (+21 percent), both of which had record December sales. SRX had
its best-ever sales in December (+80 percent), and STS recorded its fourth
consecutive month of sales increases.
GMC achieved its best-ever annual sales and its eleventh all-time sales
record in the last 12 years. Although GMC's December sales were down,
calendar year sales were up 4 percent compared to very strong year-ago levels.
GMC's success was led by calendar-year record sales for Envoy (+6 percent) and
Sierra (+9 percent) and solid Canyon sales, which rose 157 percent in
December.
In December, HUMMER posted its best sales month for the year, capping five
consecutive months of sales increases. Although sales were down compared to
year-ago levels, HUMMER deliveries continued to show improvement in the second
half of 2004, strengthened by the addition of the H2 SUT to the portfolio,
which had its best monthly sales to date.
Pontiac car deliveries were up 3 percent for the calendar year, led by a 5
percent increase in Grand Prix deliveries and the addition of the G6, which in
December had its best sales month since launch and posted deliveries up 35
percent over November sales. Vibe deliveries rose 13 percent in December and
3.5 percent for the calendar year. Although Pontiac's December sales were
down, calendar year sales were comparable to 2003 (-0.3 percent).
Saturn car sales were negatively impacted in 2004 by the discontinuation
of the L-Series, resulting in sales declines for December and the calendar
year. Vue, however, had a year-over-year sales improvement of 6 percent, and
Saturn's truck sales are improving with the introduction of its new crossover
sport van, the Relay.
Buick's calendar year truck deliveries improved 11.5 percent with the
addition of the Rainier and Terraza, the division's new crossover sport van.
LaCrosse had its best monthly sales since its introduction, a 59.5 percent
increase over November sales. Buick's December and calendar year sales
declined.
Certified Used Vehicles
December sales for all GM certified used vehicle brands, including GM
Certified Used Vehicles, Cadillac Certified Pre-Owned, Used Cars from Saturn
and Saab Certified Pre-Owned, were 47,233 units, up 17 percent from December
2003. Total 2004 certified GM sales were 533,205 units, up more than 12
percent from year-ago levels.
GM Certified Used Vehicles, the industry's top-selling manufacturer-
certified used brand, posted the certified category's second-highest monthly
sales results ever in December with sales of 40,292 units, up more than 16
percent from last December. This marks the third consecutive month that GM
Certified Used Vehicles surpassed the 40,000-unit mark in sales, with fourth-
quarter sales up more than 20,000 units over the same period last year.
GM Certified Used Vehicles led all certified pre-owned brands industry-
wide with total 2004 sales of 449,562 units, a 13 percent increase from 2003
and a new annual sales record for the certified category. Annual sales for
Used Cars from Saturn were up 8 percent, while Cadillac Certified Pre-Owned
Vehicles sales were up 12 percent.
Cadillac Certified Pre-Owned Vehicles posted December sales of 3,631
units, up 37 percent. Used Cars from Saturn sold 2,688 units, up 11 percent.
Saab Certified Pre-Owned Vehicles sold 622 units, down 18 percent.
'With its best-ever annual sales performance in 2004 GM Certified Used
Vehicles, the industry's top-selling certified brand, continues to expand its
leadership in the certified pre-owned segment,' Smith said. 'GM Certified
Used Vehicles finished the year with sales of nearly 450,000 units, up 13
percent from 2003 and an all-time high for the manufacturer-certified
category.'
