GM March Sales

GM Reports March Sales of 391,752, Down 3 Percent Truck sales comparable to year-ago, driven by full-size pickup and utility sales Luxury vehicle sales continue to grow; Cadillac up 16 percent DETROIT, April 2 -- General Motors Corp. (NYSE: GM) dealers sold 391,752 new cars and trucks in March in the United States. This is a modest 3 percent decline versus March 2002. GM's overall truck sales (226,586) were down slightly, with sales accelerating 11 percent over February 2003. Car sales in March (165,166) were down 5 percent, with a 5 percent improvement over February. 'Despite current economic uncertainty, industry sales remain solid, in part due to across-the-board incentive activity by all manufacturers,' said John Smith, group vice president of GM North America Vehicle Sales, Service and Marketing. 'GM's results show improvement both in unit sales and share over the quarter. We'll build upon this with the 'Zero to Sixty' campaign that is effective today. Additionally, we are pleased with our richer mix, reflecting the continuing improvement of truck sales, which made up 62 percent of our retail volume in March. And, we continue to experience sales gains at Cadillac, HUMMER, Saturn and Saab, as well as with our new vehicle introductions, including the all-new Pontiac Grand Prix launched just last month. We expect momentum to continue to build with 15 more new vehicle launches before year-end.' GM Truck Sales GM total truck sales were comparable to year-ago levels. Importantly, full-size pickup sales were up 7.5 percent. Total utility vehicle sales for the month (98,486) were in line with year-ago levels, and GM achieved March record sales for a number of utilities, including Saturn VUE, Chevrolet TrailBlazer, GMC Envoy and Cadillac Escalade. GM Car Sales Saturn and Cadillac cars had strong sales in March, with increases of 16 percent and 10.5 percent, respectively. Saturn ION continued to gain momentum with 13,057 sales. March sales records were posted for Chevrolet Impala (21,962), Pontiac Vibe (7,810), and Cadillac CTS (4,588). GM's luxury car sales were up 8 percent for March and up over 4 percent calendar-year-to-date, driven by strong sales of the Cadillac CTS and new Saab 9-3. Certified Used Vehicles GM's industry leading certified vehicle program sold approximately 39,544 total certified used vehicles in March, including the Cadillac, Saturn and Saab certified brands. The GM Certified Used Vehicle brand alone posted solid numbers, selling 33,022 vehicles, which is 47 percent higher than last year. 'In light of the current economic circumstances, we are pleased with the continued growth of our dealers' certified used business,' said Smith.

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.
