ITEM 8.01. OTHER EVENTS
On March 1, 2006 General Motors Corporation (GM) issued a news release
announcing February 2006 sales. The release is as follows:
New GM Models Post Strong February Sales, Retail Sales Up 1 Percent
Overall Sales Decline 2.5 Percent Compared to Year-Ago Level
All-New Chevy Tahoe Sales Double From January; HUMMER Hits Sales Record for
10th Month
Launch Vehicle Retail Sales Up 32 Percent Over January
DETROIT - General Motors dealers in the United States in February posted a
retail sales improvement of 1 percent. Total deliveries were 301,545 new cars
and trucks, down 2.5 percent compared to the same month a year ago. Total car
sales were down 13 percent, and truck sales were up 5 percent. Calendar year
sales are up 1.4 percent.
"Consumer response to our new vehicles and segment-leading value resulted in
solid sales results in February," said Mark LaNeve, General Motors North America
vice president, Vehicle Sales, Service and Marketing. "Our retail sales
improvement in February was driven by our industry-leading value, not by fleet
sales or high incentives. This resulted in better retail sales performance by
six of our divisions."
Chevrolet, Cadillac, Pontiac, Buick, HUMMER and Saab all posted retail sales
gains compared to year-ago levels. Three divisions achieved overall sales
improvements in February. HUMMER was up 202.5 percent, driven by continued
strong sales of the H3. Saab total deliveries rose 9.5 percent, and calendar
year sales are up 19 percent. Buick's total sales also improved over last year
and were up 1.7 percent, bolstered by strong Lucerne sales.
Recently introduced vehicles played an important part in GM's February sales
results. Total utility deliveries were up 25 percent compared to last year.
Sales of the all-new Chevrolet Tahoe (6,391) were double last month's level.
Total Tahoe deliveries were up 47 percent compared to last year. The 2007 GMC
Yukon posted its first deliveries in February (1,452), as did the new Cadillac
Escalade (1,461).
"It's still early, but we're exceeding all of the important targets for our new
full-size SUVs, particularly the Tahoe, which is the first one to arrive in
dealerships," LaNeve said. "The new 2007 GMC Yukon and Cadillac Escalade are
just now arriving in dealerships and are off to a very strong start."
LaNeve added that dealers are excited to have the new generation of full-size
sport utility vehicles on their sales floor. "Dealers tell us they can't keep
them on the lot, with vehicles staying in inventory less than a week on
average," he said.
Other new utilities that posted strong February results included Torrent,
Pontiac's new compact sport utility, which achieved its second best sales
to-date with 3,946 deliveries, up 33 percent compared to January. Saturn VUE
continued its solid sales streak, with its ninth consecutive month of sales
improvements (+43.5 percent compared to year-ago levels).
February was another record-setting month for HUMMER. It posted year-over-year
record sales for the tenth consecutive month, and its aggregate deliveries since
2002, when it began selling the H2, surpassed 150,000 units.
On the car side, a number of new GM vehicles also had solid sales in February.
Buick Lucerne deliveries have improved every month since launch, with February
sales 20 percent greater than January levels. Lucerne retail deliveries in
February were over twice the level of year-ago LeSabre retail sales.
Customer demand for the Pontiac Solstice remains very brisk. In February it
posted among the highest total turn rates of all vehicles in the industry (39
percent).
For the sixth consecutive month, Pontiac G6 sales exceeded year-ago levels both
in total and retail deliveries. Total G6 sales in February were up 38 percent.
These improvements were achieved prior to the introduction of the new G6 hardtop
convertible scheduled to arrive in Pontiac dealerships this spring.
Certified Used Vehicles
February sales for all certified GM brands, including GM Certified Used
Vehicles, Cadillac Certified Pre-Owned Vehicles, Used Cars from Saturn, Saab
Certified Pre-Owned Vehicles and HUMMER Certified Pre-Owned Vehicles, were
40,474 units, down 10.6 percent from last February. Total year-to-date certified
GM sales are 80,001 units, down 6 percent from the same period last year.
GM Certified Used Vehicles, the industry's top-selling manufacturer-certified
used brand, posted 35,461 sales, down nearly 9 percent from last February, but
up 3 percent from January 2006. Year-to-date sales for GM Certified Used
Vehicles are 69,954 units, down 4.5 percent from the same period in 2005.
Cadillac Certified Pre-Owned Vehicles posted 3,097 sales in February, down
nearly 2 percent from last year. Used Cars from Saturn sold 1,412 units, down 47
percent. Saab Certified Pre-Owned Vehicles sold 504 units, down 2.5 percent. In
its second month of operation, HUMMER Certified Pre-Owned sold 36 units.
"While February was a challenging month for all certified GM brands, GM
Certified Used Vehicles, the industry's top-selling certified brand, increased
sales by 3 percent from January and continues to set the pace for all
manufacturers in the category," LaNeve said.

release and related comments by General Motors management, our use of the words
"expect," "anticipate," "estimate," "forecast," "objective," "plan," "goal" and
similar expressions is intended to identify forward looking statements. While
these statements represent our current judgment on what the future may hold, and
we believe these judgments are reasonable, actual results may differ materially
due to numerous important factors that
are described in GM's most recent report on SEC Form 10-K (at page II-20) which
may be revised 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.
