GM Reports April Sales of 400,687, Down 9 Percent

Truck Sales Up 2 Percent Versus Year-Ago Levels; Large Pickups Up 12 Percent and Utilities Up 7 Percent
Luxury Vehicle Sales Strong; Saab Up 39 Percent and Cadillac Up 15 Percent

DETROIT - General Motors Corp. dealers sold 400,687 new cars and trucks in April in the United States. This is a 9 percent decline versus April 2002. GM's overall truck sales (244,965) were up 2 percent over a year ago, and car sales in April (155,722) were down 22 percent from the year-ago level.

"Both GM and the industry had a solid month in April, despite some hesitation in consumer attitudes," said John Smith, group vice president of GM North America Vehicle Sales, Service and Marketing. "Sales of GM luxury vehicles, large pickups and large utilities were strong even with the exceptionally competitive environment. In April, Saab was up 39 percent, Cadillac was up 15 percent and HUMMER sales continued to grow. Building on this performance and with the additional 15 new vehicle launches scheduled for this year, we expect continued improvement in our results over the course of the year."

GM Truck Sales

GM posted industry record April truck sales, up 2 percent from year-ago levels. It became the first manufacturer to sell more than 90,000 full-size pickups in the month of April, with 91,077 total sales, up 15.5 percent from last year. Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra had strong sales, with increases of 14 percent and 15 percent, respectively, over last year.

GM also achieved industry record utility sales for April, with 102,504 total sales, a 9 percent improvement from year-ago levels. Full-size utilities were up 20 percent, driven by increases for Cadillac Escalade, GMC Yukon, and Chevrolet Tahoe.

GM Car Sales

GM luxury car sales improved 19 percent in April and were up 8 percent calendar year-to-date, driven by record April sales of Cadillac CTS and strong Saab 9-3 sales. Saab had record April sales, and calendar year-to-date was up 26 percent. Cadillac calendar year-to-date sales increased 18 percent.

Certified Used Vehicles

GM's industry-leading certified vehicle program had a record month in April with approximately 43,371 total certified used vehicle sales, including the Cadillac, Saturn and Saab certified brands. The previous record was 42,642 units in August 2002. The GM Certified Used Vehicle brand alone also posted record numbers, selling 36,423 vehicles, which is 39 percent higher than last year. "April was a fantastic month for our certified used vehicle program," Smith said. "As more dealers get involved in the program, and more consumers become aware of it, we continue to outpace the growth of the segment."

In this press 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 11-15, 16) 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.
