GM Reports October Sales of 363,043, Down 7 Percent
Calendar Year-To-Date Truck Sales on Par with Record 2002 Pace
DETROIT, Nov. 4 -- General Motors Corp. dealers sold 363,043 new cars and
trucks in October in the United States, down 7 percent compared to strong year-
ago levels. GM's overall truck sales (220,374) were down 8 percent over a year
ago. Car sales (142,669) were down 6 percent.
"GM's sales in October fell short of our objectives, partially due to a
smaller industry than expected and in part due to a slight hangover from our
very strong performance in the third quarter," said John Smith, group vice
president of GM Vehicle Sales, Service and Marketing. "Truck sales continued
at a strong pace, particularly the Chevrolet Tahoe and Suburban and the GMC
Yukon and Yukon XL. The momentum we have with our industry-leading truck
line-up and recent new vehicle launches is reflected in market share year-to-
date improvement through September in the majority of our brands, including
Chevrolet, Cadillac, GMC, Saab, Saturn and HUMMER. The increasing
availability of our new vehicles such as the Chevrolet Malibu and Cadillac SRX
will help position GM for a strong finish to the year."
GM Truck Sales
Sales of GM's industry-leading truck lineup were down 8 percent compared
to a strong October last year. Large (23,980) and extra-large utilities
(20,056) again posted strong sales, each up over 26 percent. While total
utilities (105,640) were down 6 percent, this was the sixth time in the last 7
months that sales of GM utilities surpassed 100,000 units. GM has sold over
1,000,000 utilities for the calendar year-to-date (1,026,213).
GM Car Sales
Despite the 6 percent decline in GM car sales in October, there were
several vehicles that reflected strong sales performance. Sales of GM entry-
level cars improved 23 percent, led by the Chevrolet Cavalier (22,499) with a
55 percent improvement, and the Pontiac Sunfire (3,586), up 33 percent.
Additionally, Saab 9-3 sold 2,357 units, an exceptional 181 percent increase.
Divisional Highlights
Chevrolet -- Chevrolet car sales (56,344) improved 11 percent from last
year. Chevrolet continues to lead the mid-size car segment in the U.S. for
the year-to-date, led by strong sales of Impala, which was up 44 percent year-
to-date (231,526). Chevrolet truck sales were led by Tahoe (16,029), which
improved 20 percent, and the Suburban, which was up 25 percent with 12,896
deliveries. Chevrolet sales for the year-to-date (2,207,250) were comparable
(-0.6 percent) with last year.
Cadillac -- Cadillac truck sales (6,438) had its best-ever month, up 38
percent in October, driven by continuing strong sales of the Escalade
portfolio. For the year-to-date, total deliveries (172,325) were up 5
percent, and truck sales (48,161) improved 18 percent. The two newest
additions to Cadillac's portfolio, the XLR and SRX, are arriving in

surpass 200,000 unit sales for the calendar year for the first time since
1994.
GMC -- Yukon deliveries in October (7,951) were up 41 percent from year-
ago levels, and Yukon XL sales (7,160) improved 27 percent. As a result of

date sales performance (472,810) improved 2 percent over record year-ago
levels.

from a year ago. Sunfire sales (3,586) were up 32 percent. Vibe sales for
the calendar year-to-date (50,043) were a 64 percent improvement from last
year.

Pre-Owned Vehicles reported 3,044 sales; Saturn Certified Used Vehicles
reported sales of 2,924 units; and Saab Certified Pre-Owned Vehicles reported

"GM Certified Used Vehicles posted one of its best sales months of 2003,

increased calendar year-to-date sales 134 percent," said Smith. "GM's
combined certified used sales for the year are now 403,645, a 27 percent
increase from last year. We are confident that certified sales will have a
strong finish to the year."

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.
