GM November Sales
DETROIT - General Motors Corp. dealers sold 309,263 new cars and trucks in November in the United States, down 18 percent versus November 2001. GM's overall truck sales (171,862) were down 26 percent; car sales (137,401) were down 6 percent.
"Comparisons to a very strong year-ago November are difficult, however, our sales remain generally healthy," said Bill Lovejoy, group vice president of North America Vehicle Sales, Service and Marketing. "Importantly, we continue to improve our vehicle mix in an extremely competitive market. Heading into the last month of the year, GM's truck sales continue on pace to set the all-time industry record. In addition, we continue to generate strong sales with our new vehicle introductions for Cadillac, HUMMER and Saturn."
GM Truck Sales
GM truck sales (171,862) were down 26 percent in November from extremely strong year-ago levels. November utility vehicle sales for GM (78,726) were down 19 percent. GM's midsize utility sales for the month were 31,915, down 29 percent in a very competitive market. GM's November sales of full-size utility vehicles (34,279 units) decreased 29 percent from strong year-ago levels. Saturn's new VUE posted impressive sales with 9,482 deliveries.
GM's truck sales for 2002 through November (2,487,972) are up 4 percent. GM's SUV sales (1,099,325) have increased 19 percent for the same period, after setting a new industry calendar year record by the end of October. GM's calendar-year-to-date midsize utility sales were 502,820, up 29 percent. For the same 11-month period, GM's full-size utility vehicle sales (490,968) have increased 1 percent, compared with very strong sales last year.
GM Car Sales
GM's midsize cars posted a 12-percent gain for November on 82,671 sales versus November 2001. The Chevrolet Malibu made an impressive 19-percent gain on 10,396 sales in November. Chevrolet Impala sales of 16,183 units were also strong with a 3-percent gain. The new Cadillac CTS posted healthy monthly sales of 4,173 units, and the new Pontiac Vibe had another solid month, selling 3,617 units. Overall, GM car sales (1,897,070) were down 11 percent for 2002 through November.
Certified Used Cars
GM's industry-leading certified used car program sold approximately 37,253 total certified used vehicles in November, including the Cadillac, Saturn and Saab certified brands. The GM Certified Used Vehicle brand alone had another strong month, selling 31,823 units. " On a yearly basis, we expect to do almost 400,000 sales," Lovejoy said. "Our certified used vehicle sales continue to exceed our expectations. GM dealers, GMAC and the entire VSSM organization have made GM's effort to reach out to new customers a great success."
In November, GM produced 465,000 vehicles (200,000 cars and 265,000 trucks) in North America, compared to 446,000 vehicles (195,000 cars and 251,000 trucks) produced in November 2001. (Production totals include joint venture production of 10,400 vehicles in November 2002 and 9,500 vehicles in November 2001.)
In addition, GM is revising its fourth-quarter production forecast for North America to 1.415 million units (600,000 cars and 815,000 trucks), up 5,000 units from last month's guidance. In the fourth quarter of 2001, GM produced 1.294 million units (573,000 cars and 721,000 trucks) in North America.
Additionally, GM's initial 2003 first-quarter production forecast for North America is 1,400,000 units (560,000 cars and 840,000 trucks). In the first quarter of 2002, GM North America produced 1,353,000 vehicles (600,000 cars, 753,000 trucks.) This represents a 3.5 percent increase in production and is mostly attributed to the unusually high level of temporary plant idlings in the first quarter of 2002.
GM also announced revised fourth-quarter production forecasts for its international regions:
- GM Europe -- The region's revised fourth-quarter production forecast is 456,000 vehicles, down 13,000 vehicles from last month's forecast.
- GM Asia Pacific -- GM Asia Pacific's revised fourth-quarter production forecast is 83,000 vehicles, up 1,000 vehicles from last month's forecast.
- GM Latin America, Africa and the Middle East -- The regions' revised fourth-quarter production forecast is 160,000 units, down 6,000 units over last month's forecast.
