GM Delivers 345,157 Vehicles in May
* Combined Sales of New Full-Size Utilities Up 41 Percent vs. April
* Solid Chevy HHR and Pontiac Torrent Sales Drive Small Utility Increase
of 34 Percent
* Sales Impacted By Reductions In Incentive Programs and Daily Rental
Sales
DETROIT, June 2 -- General Motors dealers in the United States sold 345,157
new cars and trucks in May, down 16 percent compared to year-ago levels,
reflecting continued strategic reductions in incentives and daily rentals, which
were down 28 percent.
Total car sales were down 19 percent, and truck sales were down 13
percent. While high gas prices continue to have some impact, consumers have
responded favorably to GM's new products, particularly the all-new 2007 Chevy
Tahoe (11,689 sales), Avalanche (1,692) and Suburban (5,128), GMC Yukon/Yukon
XL (7,965) and Cadillac Escalade (2,945) and Escalade ESV (1,097), resulting
in a combined 41 percent sales increase compared to April.
"The overall industry in May was dampened by rising fuel prices and
interest rates. GM is actively addressing consumers' concerns with its
segment-leading fuel economy and a pilot program like the 'Fuel Price
Protection Program,' which helps consumers battle the uncertainty of gas price
fluctuations," said Mark LaNeve, General Motors North America vice president,
Vehicle Sales, Service and Marketing.
A very encouraging trend was the continued success of GM's new vehicles.
LaNeve explained, "Our launch vehicles continue to post strong sales results,
as evidenced by the sales gains of our all-new full-size utilities and strong
retail sales of important new products including the Chevrolet Impala, HHR and
Cobalt, Buick Lucerne, Pontiac G6 and Torrent." LaNeve added, "Our May sales
volume was not where we need it to be. It clearly was impacted by our reduced
reliance on daily rental sales and broad-based incentive programs to drive the
business."
"Our customers have told us that success in the marketplace depends on a
combination of great new products, strong brands and segment-leading fuel
economy, and that is exactly the turnaround strategy we are executing," LaNeve
said.
GM's luxury utilities posted strong sales in May, up 34 percent compared
to year-ago levels. H3 sales led HUMMER to its thirteenth consecutive month
of year-over-year sales increases. Total HUMMER sales were up 53 percent.
Cadillac Escalade sales rose 50 percent in May, paced by continuing brisk
demand for the all-new 2007 model. Cadillac Escalade ESV sales started strong
with 1,097 sold.
The newest additions to GM's small utility lineup, Chevrolet HHR and
Pontiac Torrent, helped push total small utility sales up 34 percent.
GM sports cars also posted solid May sales results, with a 44 percent
improvement compared to year-ago levels. Corvette led the lineup with a 3.5
percent increase with 3,317 deliveries. Pontiac Solstice and Saturn Sky are
selling briskly, with Solstice remaining on dealers' lots an average of 13
days and Sky remaining on lots 2 days.
Total sales of all GM launch vehicles were up 12.5 percent compared to
April and accounted for 24 percent of GM's total deliveries for the month.
The success of GM's launch vehicles is another critical component of GM's
North America restructuring plan.
GM will continue to introduce an array of new vehicles throughout 2006,
including the all-new Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra full-size pickups,
the fuel-efficient Saturn Vue Green Line Hybrid to be introduced this fall,
and GMC Acadia and Saturn Outlook crossovers coming late this year.
Certified Used Vehicles
May sales for all certified GM brands, including GM Certified Used
Vehicles, Cadillac Certified Pre-Owned Vehicles, Used Cars from Saturn, Saab
Certified Pre-Owned Vehicles and HUMMER Certified Pre-Owned Vehicles, were
44,522 units, up 12 percent from last May. Total year-to-date certified GM
sales are 220,097 units, up 2 percent from the same period last year.
GM Certified Used Vehicles, the industry's top-selling manufacturer-
certified used brand, posted 38,471 sales, up 15 percent from last May. Year-
to-date sales for GM Certified Used Vehicles are 191,523 units, up 4 percent
from the same period in 2005.
Cadillac Certified Pre-Owned Vehicles posted 3,316 sales in May, up nearly
6 percent from last May. Used Cars from Saturn sold 1,845 units, down 17
percent. Saab Certified Pre-Owned Vehicles sold 801 units, down nearly 13
percent. In its fifth month of operation, HUMMER Certified Pre-Owned sold 89
units.
"May proved to be another terrific month for GM Certified Used Vehicles
sales, increasing 15 percent over May 2005, marking the third consecutive
month of double-digit sales increases," LaNeve said. "With sales of 38,471
units in May, GM Certified Used Vehicles, the industry's top-selling certified
brand, continues to lead the certified segment and is on track to set another
all-time sales record for the category."
