percent
compared with November
- Market share in December expected around 24 percent, up about 4 ppts

- 2008 market share position anticipated to hold steady at just above 22

DETROIT, Jan. 5 /CNW/ -- General Motors dealers in the United States
delivered 221,983 vehicles in December, down 31 percent compared with a year
ago. However, total deliveries were 67,000 vehicles more than November's
result, up more than 43 percent month over month. GM December car sales of
87,506 were off 25 percent and truck sales of 134,477 were down 35 percent
compared with a year ago.
For the year, GM delivered 2,980,688 vehicles while maintaining an
expected market share just above 22 percent. Annual deliveries were down 23
percent compared with 2007, largely due to building weakness in the
marketplace throughout the year spurred by economic headwinds such as the
dramatic reduction in credit availability experienced in the fourth quarter,
coupled with historically low levels of consumer confidence. Additionally,
the American Axle strike and several supply disruptions impacted GM's
performance in the first half of the year.
"Given the ongoing challenges and the difficult market environment, we
were very encouraged to see a volume rebound for GM in December compared with
both October and November," said Mark LaNeve, vice president, GM North America
Vehicle Sales, Service and Marketing. "We are building more vehicles than ever
that provide great value and Americans enjoy owning. That is why, for the
year, we are seeing our market share holding steady at just above 22 percent.
That's 5 percentage points more and 760,000 vehicles more than our nearest
competitor.
"Our outstanding cars, trucks and crossovers are enabling us to hold the
leadership position in a very difficult market. Our Red Tag Event was well-
received, and the ability to offer some 0% financing through our partner GMAC
in the last week of the month also helped," LaNeve added.
Despite the weak market in December, Chevrolet Malibu continued its solid
performance with total sales up 43 percent compared with last December. For
2008, Malibu sales of more than 178,000 vehicles were up 39 percent, making it
the highest percentage gainer in the top 20 vehicles sold in America with a
volume increase compared with 2007. With its six-speed transmission and four-
cylinder engine combination, the Malibu delivers an EPA-estimated 33 mpg
highway -- tops in the industry's mid-car segment. The Malibu Hybrid also
offers the lowest-priced hybrid in the segment. Additionally, with 4,500
retail vehicles delivered, the Chevrolet Traverse crossover nearly doubled its
retail volume compared with November.
"We're really pleased about the strength of our Chevrolet brand, with the
Malibu continuing to perform very well, and the Traverse crossover off to a
strong start," LaNeve added. "Also, with a harsh winter and lower gas prices,
our trucks and SUVs are continuing to perform well in their segments. With
GMAC now able to provide more financing capacity, and with all the exciting
new car and crossover launches including the Cadillac CTS Sport Wagon and SRX,
Chevy Camaro and Equinox, and Buick LaCrosse in 2009, we are optimistic that
with an overall market recovery we can begin to capitalize on the well-
recognized product renaissance of all our brands."
A total of 2,555 GM hybrid vehicles were delivered in the month. Hybrid
sales included: 981 Chevrolet Tahoe, 442 GMC Yukon and 306 Cadillac Escalade
2-mode hybrid SUVs delivered. There were 454 Chevrolet Malibu, 34 Saturn Aura
and 338 Vue hybrids sold in December. In 2008, GM sold a total of 14,439
hybrid vehicles.
GM inventories dropped compared with a year ago. In December, only about
872,000 vehicles were in stock, down about 36,000 vehicles (or 4 percent)
compared with last year. There were about 397,000 cars and 475,000 trucks
(including crossovers) in inventory at the end of December.
Certified Used Vehicles
December 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 43,070 vehicles, up 21 percent from December 2007.
GM Certified Used Vehicles, the industry's top-selling certified brand,
posted December sales of 37,632 vehicles, up 24 percent from December 2007.
Saturn Certified Pre-Owned Vehicles sold 888 vehicles, down 24 percent.
Cadillac Certified Pre-Owned Vehicles sold 3,740 vehicles, up 11 percent. Saab
Certified Pre-Owned Vehicles sold 548 vehicles, up 14 percent, and HUMMER
Certified Pre-Owned Vehicles sold 262 vehicles, up 85 percent.
Total 2008 sales for all certified GM brands were 485,279 vehicles, down
5 percent from 2007. Annual sales for GM Certified Used Vehicles were 422,114
vehicles, down 6 percent. Saturn Certified Pre-Owned Vehicles sold 11,573
vehicles in 2008, down 9 percent. Cadillac Certified Pre-Owned Vehicles
finished 2008 with sales of 41,598 vehicles, up 7 percent from 2007, while
Saab Certified Pre-Owned Vehicles posted sales of 7,705 vehicles, up 6
percent, and HUMMER Certified Pre-Owned Vehicles sold 2,289 vehicles, up 71
percent.
"December sales for certified GM programs were strong, with GM Certified
Used Vehicles up 24 percent over last December, as shoppers continue to seek
value and peace of mind in a challenging economy," said LaNeve. "GM Certified
finished 2008 as the sales leader among all manufacturer-certified pre-owned
brands for the seventh consecutive year, and our Cadillac, Saab and HUMMER
luxury certified brands each posted strong year-to-year sales increases."
