GM May Sales
GM Reports May Sales of 446,787, Up 6.5 Percent
Another Industry Sales Record for GM Trucks
Bested Prior SUV Sales Record by 18 Percent
DETROIT, June 3 -- General Motors dealers sold 446,787 new
cars and trucks in May, up 6.5 percent compared to May 2003. This was GM's
best sales performance for the calendar year-to-date. GM's truck sales
(276,746) were up 11 percent and car sales (170,041) were flat compared to
year-ago levels (-0.4 percent).
'We had our strongest sales results so far this year, with trucks leading
the charge,' said John Smith, group vice president, GM North America Vehicle
Sales, Service and Marketing. 'Consumers are weathering the passing storm
related to the temporary increase in fuel prices and voting their preferences
by purchasing record numbers of pickups and SUVs. A strengthening economy
combined with record vehicle affordability allowed consumers to purchase
vehicles of their choice. Although we have seen little evidence that rising
fuel prices are impacting sales mix, GM is well positioned in this area,
offering more fuel-efficient cars and trucks across more vehicle segments than
any other manufacturer.'
GM Truck Sales
GM's industry-leading truck sales established another industry record in
May with a double-digit increase compared to year-ago levels. Sales were up
in virtually every segment of the truck market, including full-size pickups;
full-size, mid-size and small utilities; and full-size vans. GM led the
industry once again with 90,531 full-size pickup sales, resulting in a
5 percent increase on the strength of combined Chevrolet Silverado and GMC
Sierra sales.
Sales of GM's sport utility vehicles (131,411) jumped 19 percent,
establishing another industry benchmark and achieving its best ever May sales
performance. This was the third month this year that SUV deliveries surpassed
100,000 units. Full-size utility deliveries were up 8.5 percent (53,544),
paced by strong sales of the Chevrolet Suburban (12,479) and the GMC Yukon
(8,347).
GM Car Sales
GM's car sales were flat compared to year-ago levels. Among GM's launch

percent over April sales.

# 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.
