GM Reports August Sales of 472,427, Retail Sales up 4 Percent
Record Sales in Trucks, Full-Size Pickups
Monthly Sales Momentum Continues to Build
DETROIT, Sept. 4 -- General Motors Corp. dealers sold 472,427
new cars and trucks in August in the United States, comparable (down 0.5
percent) to August 2002 levels. GM's retail deliveries were up 4 percent,
driven by record truck sales. GM's overall truck sales (284,129) were up 5
percent over a year ago. Car sales (188,298) were down 8 percent, reflecting
an 18 percent decline in fleet deliveries.
"GM had another great month in August, due to retail sales that exceeded
strong year-ago levels," said John Smith, group vice president of GM North
America Vehicle Sales, Service and Marketing. "Importantly, August sales
continue to reflect strong truck sales and growing confidence in the economy.
For the fourth time in the last five months, we set an industry record for
total truck sales. Led by Silverado, our full-size pickups shattered the
previous industry sales record for August. GM's total sales and share have
consistently improved over the last six months, and with the introduction of
17 new 2004 car and truck models over the next year, our sales momentum will
continue to build."
GM Truck Sales
GM's industry-leading truck lineup continues to establish new benchmarks
for the industry. Full-size pickup sales (101,819) posted yet another monthly
record, improving on strong year-ago sales by 18 percent. Overall, GM pickup
sales were 122,513, also an improvement of 18 percent. Sales of GM sport
utility vehicles (126,597) were down a modest 2 percent compared to the best-
ever industry record set a year ago. This is the fifth consecutive month in
which GM sport utility sales surpassed 100,000 units. Deliveries of small
utilities were up 32 percent, led by the Saturn VUE. Medium sport utility
sales improved 12 percent, and large luxury utilities were up 10.5 percent as
a result of record sales of both the Escalade family and HUMMER.
GM Car Sales
While GM car sales were down 8 percent, this reduction was largely due to
a decline in fleet deliveries. Importantly, Cadillac CTS (4,278), Chevrolet
Impala (29,236) and Pontiac Vibe (4,402) all had record August sales results.
CTS sales were up 30 percent; Impala sales improved 72.5 percent; and Vibe
sales were 14 percent above last year. Chevrolet Monte Carlo (6,936), Pontiac
Grand Am (19,125) and Saab 9-3 (2,885) also had significant sales improvements
over last year.
Retail sales were strong particularly in the entry segment, led by
Chevrolet Cavalier (17,749), which improved 15 percent, and Saturn ION, which
sold 11,142 units. In the mid-size segment, retail sales of the Chevrolet
Malibu (9,718) were up 26 percent, and the Impala (17,825) had another
exceptional month with retail sales 49 percent above year-ago levels. Also
checking in with strong retail sales were the Pontiac Grand Am (9,629) with a
21 percent improvement and the Saturn L-Series (6,431), which was up 31
percent.

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
