GM October sales
GM Reports 257,623 Deliveries in October
Launch Vehicles Continue to Build Sales Momentum
Saturn and HUMMER Post Sales Gains
DETROIT, Nov. 1 -- General Motors dealers in the United States sold
257,623 new cars and trucks in October, down 23 percent from the same month a
year ago. Car sales declined 12 percent and truck sales were off 30 percent.
'Although a slowdown after the record sales of the last several months was
expected, October was a difficult month for us and the industry,' said Mark
LaNeve, GM North America vice president, Vehicle Sales, Service and Marketing.
'On a positive note, we continue to see solid sales results for our launch
vehicles, indicating that consumers recognize the overall value our products
represent. We have committed to consumers that they will receive segment-
leading value in every vehicle we manufacture, including industry-leading fuel
economy, quality and vehicle features and benefits.'
GM's new vehicles continue to post solid sales results. Small sport
utility vehicle deliveries in October rose 29 percent with the addition of the
Chevrolet HHR and Pontiac Torrent to the category. Torrent sales have
improved each month since its August launch, with October sales 15 percent
higher than September, despite constrained inventories. HHR continues to
bring new customers into the GM family, with about half of HHR buyers trading
in non-GM vehicles. A 17 percent sales increase for the new Saturn Vue also
contributed to the positive sales results in the small utility category.
Saturn sales in October were up 11 percent.
H3, the new mid-size HUMMER, continues to drive record sales for the
division and broaden its appeal from a niche brand to a wider audience. About
70 percent of vehicles traded in by H3 buyers are non-GM models. HUMMER sales
were up 129 percent compared to year-ago levels.
Pontiac G6 sales continue to build with October deliveries 135 percent
greater than year-ago levels. Retail sales in October were up 111.5 percent.
The all-new 2006 Chevrolet Impala also is off to a fast sales start, with
strong consumer demand for the Impala SS, with its small-block V8 engine,
displacement-on-demand and 28 mpg fuel economy (highway). Impala retail sales
in October were up 6 percent.
Cadillac DTS achieved its best sales since its launch, with 5,710
deliveries, a 50 percent improvement over September sales.
Certified Used Vehicles
October sales for all certified GM brands, including GM Certified Used
Vehicles, Cadillac Certified Pre-Owned Vehicles, Used Cars from Saturn and
Saab Certified Pre-Owned Vehicles, were 43,090 units, down 9 percent from last
year. Total year-to-date certified GM sales are 445,555 units, up 1 percent
from the same period last year.
GM Certified Used Vehicles, the industry's top-selling manufacturer-
certified used brand, posted sales of 37,765 units, down 7 percent from the
previous October. Year-to-date sales for GM Certified Used Vehicles are
379,534 units, up 3 percent from the same period in 2004.
Cadillac Certified Pre-Owned Vehicles posted October sales of 2,817 units,
down 15 percent from last October. Cadillac Certified year-to-date sales are
up 8.5 percent. Used Cars from Saturn in October sold 1,901 units, down 32
percent. Saab Certified Pre-Owned Vehicles sold 607 units, down nearly 14
percent.
'October was a challenging month, but GM Certified Used Vehicles continues
to lead all manufacturers in the category,' LaNeve said. 'Calendar year-to-
date sales are 3 percent ahead of last year's record performance. Looking
ahead, we're confident that GM Certified will continue to set the pace for the
certified segment for the remainder of the year.'

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 II-20) 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.
