GM Reports December Sales of 447,900, Down 9 Percent From Record Year-Ago Levels
GM Sets Calendar-Year Truuck and Utility Sales Records Cadillac Has Best Sales
Year Since 1990
DETROIT, Jan. 6 -- General Motors dealers sold 447,900 new
cars and trucks in December, down 9 percent compared to record sales levels in
December 2002. GM's overall truck sales (278,406) were down 11 percent. Car
sales (169,494) were down 5 percent. In December 2002, GM had exceptional
sales results (473,663) and more than a 32-percent market share.
GM calendar-year sales were down a modest 2 percent in 2003. For the
third consecutive year, GM set an industry sales record for trucks. It also
established a new industry benchmark for sales of sport utility vehicles.
Five of GM's 9 brands had sales gains for the calendar year, led by an 8
percent sales increase at Cadillac, which had its best sales year since 1990,
and GMC's tenth calendar-year sales record in 11 years.
"Both GM and the industry continue to show significant sales momentum as
we head into the new year," said John Smith, group vice president of GM North
America Vehicle Sales, Service and Marketing. "During the second half of
2003, the industry selling rate was approximately 17.5 million units, and GM's
market share was above 28.5 percent. Given this momentum and the rapidly
improving U.S. economy, we are optimistic about the outlook for 2004.
Supporting our growth will be the launch of another 13 all-new models this
year, including the Cadillac STS, Chevrolet Equinox and Cobalt, Saab 9-2X,
Pontiac G6 and HUMMER H2 SUT."
GM Truck Sales
GM's industry-leading truck lineup posted solid sales in December. While
sales for the month were down 11 percent, last December's truck sales set an
all-time industry record, creating an extraordinarily difficult comparison.
Calendar-year truck sales (2,795,721) were up slightly from record year-ago
levels (0.2 percent) and once again established a new industry record. Truck
sales for the month were driven by 97,475 deliveries of full-size pickups
(down 12 percent), which once again led the industry. Although down 11
percent, sales of sport utility vehicles (131,066) surpassed 100,000 units for
the eighth time in the last 9 months and established a new calendar-year
record for the industry. GM continued to strengthen its sales performance in
the important large luxury utility segment with 11,104 deliveries, led by
continuing record sales of the Cadillac Escalade portfolio (7,292) and a very
strong sales month for HUMMER H2 (3,751). Calendar year-to-date sales of GM
large luxury utilities (95,002) were up 37 percent. GM remains the only
manufacturer to ever sell more than 1 million sport utility vehicles and over
2.6 million trucks in a calendar year.
GM Car Sales
GM car sales declined 5 percent from strong year-ago levels. Calendar-
year car sales (1,960,682) also were down 5 percent. In the very competitive
mid-size segment, Impala sales for the calendar year (267,882) were up 35
percent. In the luxury segment, Cadillac CTS finished the calendar year with
49,392 deliveries, a 30 percent improvement over last year. Saab had another
strong month with 2,479 deliveries of the 9-3 and wrapped up the year with
47,914 total deliveries, its highest sales since 1987. December sales of
entry-level cars (40,378) improved 18 percent, led by Chevrolet Cavalier
(21,662), up 13.5 percent in December and 8 percent calendar year-to-date.
Divisional Highlights

December were 7,292, a new monthly record. Car sales for the calendar year
(151,298) were led by record CTS sales (49,392), up 30 percent. Cadillac's

year (34,529) were up 83 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
