ITEM 8.01. OTHER EVENTS
On May 2, 2006 General Motors Corporation (GM) issued a news release announcing
April 2006 sales. The release is as follows:
GM Reports 345,404 Deliveries in April
Launch Vehicle Sales Continue to Gain Momentum, Led by All-New Full-Size SUVs
Chevy Tahoe Sales Up 35 Percent, Paced by Best Sales-To-Date of 2007 Model
Cadillac Escalade Sales Rise 127 Percent; GMC Yukon Sales Up 36 Percent
Full-Size Pickup Sales Rise 4 Percent
DETROIT - General Motors dealers in the United States sold 345,404 new cars and
trucks in April, down 7 percent compared to year-ago levels. Total car sales
were down 18 percent, and truck sales were up 2 percent.
GM's retail sales in April were down 5 percent compared to year-ago deliveries.
Fleet sales were down 10.5 percent. Daily rental sales declined by 23 percent
compared to last year.
"Given that the industry came in somewhat below our initial expectations, we are
pleased that our retail sales were in line with the targets established in our
North America turnaround plan," said Mark LaNeve, General Motors North America
vice president, Vehicle Sales, Service and Marketing. "Consumers continue to
respond very favorably to our new products, particularly the all-new Chevy
Tahoe, GMC Yukon and Cadillac Escalade, resulting in a combined 15 percent sales
increase compared to last month."
Total sales of all GM launch vehicles were up 5 percent compared to March and
accounted for 28 percent of GM's total deliveries for the month. The success of
GM's launch vehicles is another critical component of GM's North America
restructuring plan.
Despite increases in fuel prices and contrary to industry trends, GM posted a 2
percent improvement in total truck deliveries, driven by continuing strong sales
results for its all-new full-size sport utility vehicles and full-size pickups.
Chevrolet Tahoe sales were up 35 percent in April. Of the 13,138 total
deliveries, 10,607 were 2007 models. GMC Yukon posted a 36 percent sales gain in
April, with 5,978 total deliveries. There were 4,862 2007 Yukon deliveries.
April sales of the 2007 model were 48 percent greater than March results.
Cadillac Escalade sales improved dramatically, with a 127 percent improvement
over last year. There were 4,109 total sales, of which 3,258 were the all-new
2007 model. 2007 Escalade sales in April rose 23 percent compared to March.
Chevrolet Silverado deliveries rose 9 percent in April, and GMC Sierra sales
were up 4 percent. The continuing strength of GM's full-size pickups is
noteworthy, given that the product is approaching the end of its lifecycle. The
new full-size pickups begin arriving in dealers' showrooms in the fourth quarter
of this year.
LaNeve explained that the impact of the recent upward movement in fuel prices is
being partially offset by the fuel economy leadership across GM's lineup,
particularly its industry-leading truck and utility portfolio. "We know that
fuel economy is an important issue for consumers, and every tenth of a gallon
improvement counts," LaNeve said. "We worked hard during the development of our
new large utilities to squeeze out every possible ounce of fuel savings, and the
result was the best fuel economy in the segment. Combine this with the E85
capability of these vehicles, which reduces America's dependency on oil, and
you've got a significant, measurable benefit for all consumers."
GM's newest entries in the small sport utility category also contributed to the
improvement in overall truck sales. Chevrolet HHR and Equinox and Pontiac
Torrent posted solid results. HHR had its best-ever sales month and Equinox
achieved record April sales. The new Saturn Vue continued its sales momentum
with its eleventh consecutive month of year-over-year sales increases (+25
percent).
HUMMER posted a year-over-year sales record for the twelfth consecutive month,
with total sales up 231 percent. Retail deliveries rose 210 percent. H3
continues to drive HUMMER's record-setting pace and leads the entry luxury
utility segment by a wide margin.
Saturn posted a year-over-year sales gain of 14 percent with retail sales up 3
percent. The improvement was led by a solid sales month for Vue and Ion. The
first sales of Saturn Sky (612) were recorded in April. Demand for the all-new
two-seat roadster continues to outpace supply, with vehicles remaining on
dealers' lots an average of only 10 days.
Saab also posted a sales gain compared to year-ago levels (+3 percent). Its
retail deliveries were up 10 percent, paced by deliveries of the 9-7X.
Certified Used Vehicles
April 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 46,735 units,
up nearly 7 percent from last April. Total year-to-date certified GM sales are
175,580 units, comparable to the same period last year.
GM Certified Used Vehicles, the industry's top-selling manufacturer-certified
used brand, posted 40,562 sales, up 10 percent from last April. Year-to-date
sales for GM Certified Used Vehicles are 153,052 units, up 2 percent from the
same period in 2005.
Cadillac Certified Pre-Owned Vehicles posted 3,572 sales in April, up 8 percent
from last year. Used Cars from Saturn sold 1,773 units, down 32 percent. Saab
Certified Pre-Owned Vehicles sold 713 units, down 19.5 percent. In its fourth
month of operation, HUMMER Certified Pre-Owned sold 115 units.
"The industry's top-selling certified brand, GM Certified Used Vehicles,
continues to lead all manufacturer-certified programs, with one of its strongest
sales months ever," LaNeve said. "GM Certified sold 40,562 units for the month,
up 10 percent from last April. This is a terrific start to the second quarter
and marks the second consecutive month that GM Certified sales have surpassed
the 40,000-unit mark."

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.
