DETROIT, Oct. 1 /CNW/ -- General Motors dealers in the United States
delivered 284,300 vehicles in September, giving GM its best monthly share so
far in 2008. GM's share improvement was led by continued strong performances
in the mid-car, crossover and full size truck segments. The GM Employee
Discount for Everyone sale built awareness for the company's outstanding
lineup and offered compelling values to customers. GM's brands are having
divisional sales events this month to keep the marketplace momentum building.
A strong lineup of new products, combined with sales and marketing
programs geared toward a particularly challenging market, helped GM outpace
major competitors this month. GM total September sales were down 16 percent
compared to an industry decline anticipated to exceed 20 percent. Of note, GM
total third quarter 2008 sales of 828,000 vehicles were 4 percent higher than
second quarter sales of 799,000 vehicles and 3 percent higher than first
quarter sales of 806,000.
"September marked the second consecutive month where GM performed
extremely well in tough market conditions," said Mark LaNeve, vice president,
GM North America Vehicle Sales, Service and Marketing. "We again gained retail
share and our total market share looks to be above 27 percent for the month
without an increase in incentives.
"In a market where customers are cautious and seeking value, more and
more are choosing a fuel efficient, award-winning GM product," LaNeve added.
"Comparing Q3 to Q2, we also saw a lot of positives. Volume was up 4 percent
with retail trucks improving 23 percent. Of note were our full-size pickups
that jumped 30 percent compared with Q2. Importantly, market share improved
more than 3 percentage points quarter-to-quarter."
GM launch products continued to build momentum in September and
throughout the quarter.
"We saw great performance in our launch products -- Malibu was up nearly
200 percent -- and we're very excited to have the first deliveries of the
Chevrolet Traverse mid-utility crossover," LaNeve said. "We're also seeing
some renewed demand for pickups and anticipate that our divisional sales
programs this month will help fuel the market. Sales of the GMC Sierra were up
last month. Our mid-car segment vehicle sales were up 23 percent in September.
We saw the Chevrolet HHR gain 14 percent. Pontiac saw gains with the Vibe and
G5 while Saturn saw increased sales for the Vue and Outlook."
The success of GM's product lineup, combined with a compelling value
offer, helped the company mitigate the industry challenges as total GM car
sales declined just 9.8 percent, while trucks (excluding crossovers) declined
22 percent when compared with a year ago.
GM's popular mid-utility crossovers -- Chevrolet Traverse, Buick Enclave,
GMC Acadia and Saturn Outlook -- together accounted for more than 14,000
vehicle sales in the month. The first new Chevrolet Traverse crossovers were
sold in September, marking the start of deliveries for the fourth vehicle in
GM's industry-leading mid-utility crossover lineup.
For the month, a total of 1,957 hybrid vehicles were delivered as GM
hybrids continue to gain in popularity in the marketplace. GM's hybrid sales
for September included: 636 hybrid Chevrolet Tahoe, 374 GMC Yukon and 91
Cadillac Escalade 2-mode SUVs delivered. There were 382 Chevrolet Malibu, 31
Saturn Aura and 443 Vue hybrids sold in September. GM has sold 9,053 hybrids
so far in 2008.
"Customers are responding to our hybrid vehicles -- cutting-edge cars and
trucks that provide industry-leading value, great fuel economy and the best
warranty coverage of any full-line automaker," LaNeve noted. "The public
reveal of the production version of the Chevrolet Volt E-REV as the highlight
of our GMnext celebration last month showcases GM's leadership in advanced
propulsion technology and fuel efficiency."
With its solid sales performances the past two months, GM has
aggressively managed inventories to historically low levels. In September,
only about 717,000 vehicles were in stock -- the lowest September in a decade
-- down about 179,000 vehicles (or about 20 percent) compared with last
September. There were about 275,000 cars and 442,000 trucks (including
crossovers) in inventory at the end of September.
Certified Used Vehicles
September 2008 sales for all certified GM brands, including GM Certified
Used Vehicles, Cadillac Certified Pre-Owned Vehicles, Saturn Certified Pre-
Owned Vehicles, Saab Certified Pre-Owned Vehicles, and HUMMER Certified Pre-
Owned Vehicles, were 35,341 vehicles, down 13 percent from September 2007.
Year-to-date sales are 374,716 vehicles, down 6 percent from the same period
last year.
GM Certified Used Vehicles, the industry's top-selling certified brand,
posted September sales of 30,375 vehicles, down 16 percent from September
2007. Saturn Certified Pre-Owned Vehicles sold 817 vehicles, down 7 percent.
Cadillac Certified Pre-Owned Vehicles sold 3,269 vehicles, up 8 percent. Saab
Certified Pre-Owned Vehicles sold 687 vehicles, up 22 percent, and HUMMER
Certified Pre-Owned Vehicles sold 193 vehicles, up 41 percent.
"Our Cadillac, Saab and HUMMER Certified Pre-Owned programs each achieved
strong sales increases in September, while GM Certified Used Vehicles again
sets the sales pace for all OEM certified pre-owned programs," said LaNeve.
"In September GM Certified Used Vehicles, which includes Chevrolet, Buick, GMC
and Pontiac models, sold its 3-millionth vehicle since the program's launch in
1997, the first manufacturer-certified program in the industry to reach that
sales milestone."
GM North America Reports September, 2008 Production; Third-Quarter
Production at 915,000 Vehicles; Fourth Quarter Forecast remains at 875,000
Vehicles
In September, GM North America produced 335,000 vehicles (162,000 cars
and 173,000 trucks). This is up 12,000 vehicles or 4 percent compared with
September 2007 when the region produced 323,000 vehicles (118,000 cars and
205,000 trucks). (Production totals include joint venture production of 18,000
vehicles in September 2008 and 15,000 vehicles in September 2007.)
The GM North America third-quarter production was 915,000 vehicles
(437,000 cars and 478,000 trucks) which was down 10 percent compared with a
year ago, due to production adjustments in response to market changes that
will reduce the number of trucks produced by about 175,000 and increase the
number of cars by about 70,000. GM North America built 1.020 million vehicles
(367,000 cars and 653,000 trucks) in the third-quarter of 2007.
The GM North America fourth-quarter production forecast remains at
875,000 vehicles (407,000 cars and 468,000 trucks) which is down about 16
percent compared with a year ago. GM North America built 1.042 million
vehicles (358,000 cars and 684,000 trucks) in the fourth-quarter of 2007.
