GM October Sales
GM Reports October Sales of 346,058, Down 5 Percent
SUV Sales Remain On Record Selling Pace for Calendar Year
Cadillac On Pace for Best Sales Since 1990
DETROIT, Nov. 4 -- General Motors dealers sold 346,058 new
cars and trucks in October, down 5 percent compared to year-ago sales. GM's
truck sales (210,996) were down 4 percent and car sales (135,062) were down
5 percent.
'GM's October sales results were not as strong as we had expected, but not
entirely surprising given our exceptionally strong sales in September,' said
John Smith, group vice president GM North America Vehicle Sales, Service and
Marketing. 'Our launch vehicles performed well in October, as did utilities,
which were up and remain on pace to set another industry record for the
calendar year. We expect stronger car sales in the months ahead as Pontiac
G6, Buick LaCrosse and Chevrolet Cobalt continue ramping up production.'
GM Truck Sales
GM's truck sales in October declined 4 percent versus year-ago levels.
Sport utility vehicle deliveries were up 1 percent and maintained their
record-setting sales pace. GM again led the industry in utility sales in
October, surpassing the 100,000-unit sales mark for the seventh month this
year. October utility deliveries were led by strong sales of two new entries,
the Chevrolet Equinox and Cadillac SRX. Mid-size utility sales increased
4 percent, with strong sales results for Chevrolet TrailBlazer, up 32 percent
and GMC Envoy, which gained 29 percent.
Mid-size pickup deliveries increased 26 percent on the strength of the
all-new Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon. This is the second consecutive
month that medium pickup sales were up 25 percent or more compared to year-ago
levels.
GM Car Sales
While GM's total car sales declined 5 percent compared to last October,
several vehicles had year-over-year increases including Cadillac XLR;
Chevrolet Malibu, Impala, Corvette and Monte Carlo; Pontiac Bonneville; and
Buick LeSabre. Additionally, Pontiac G6 and Cadillac STS sales are
exceptionally brisk as production ramps up.

ago levels. Car sales increased 21 percent, paced by Malibu, which had a 157

time in its history.

GM Certified Used Vehicles, the industry's top-selling manufacturer-
certified used brand, set a new monthly sales record for the certified
category in October with 40,666 sales, up more than 16 percent compared to
year-ago levels. This marks the first time any certified brand has surpassed

# Denotes estimate

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