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:
GM Reports 365,375 Deliveries in March
2007 Chevy Tahoe Sales Exceed 10,000 Units in March; Up 41 Percent Compared to
February
2007 Cadillac Escalade Sales Rise 68 Percent vs. February; GMC Yukon
Sales Up 109 Percent
Premium Brands, Cadillac, HUMMER, Saab and Buick, All Post Sales Gains in March
GM's Total Sales Down Compared to Strong Year-Ago Results
DETROIT - General Motors dealers in the United States sold 365,375 new cars and
trucks in March, down 14 percent compared to year-ago levels. Total car sales
were down 22 percent, and truck sales were down 9 percent.
GM's retail sales in March were down 17 percent compared to strong year-ago
deliveries. Fleet sales were down 5 percent. Daily rental sales declined by 8
percent compared to last year. Commercial sales were up 7 percent.
"March sales were solidly in line with the targets established in our U.S.
turnaround plan," said Mark LaNeve, General Motors North America vice president,
Vehicle Sales, Service and Marketing. "We knew that comparisons to a year ago
would be difficult because of high daily rental sales and expensive incentives
last March. We are pleased that consumers are reacting very favorably to our
great new products, with the Chevy Tahoe, Impala and HHR; Buick Lucerne;
Cadillac Escalade; and GMC Yukon all having a great month."
Consumers in March continued to respond enthusiastically to General Motors' new
models. Retail sales of GM launch vehicles were up 30 percent compared to
February and accounted for one-third of GM's total deliveries for the month.
Success of GM's launch vehicles is a critical component of GM's North America
turnaround strategy.
LaNeve went on to explain that March retail deliveries of new models were led by
robust sales of GM's all-new full-size utilities. The 2007 Chevrolet Tahoe
posted 10,126 total deliveries and 9,505 retail deliveries. Total 2007 Tahoe
deliveries in March were up 41 percent compared to February. Total Tahoe sales
rose 20 percent compared to year-ago levels.
The 2007 Escalade posted 2,761 total deliveries and 2,669 retail deliveries.
Total 2007 Escalade deliveries were up 68 percent compared to February. Total
Escalade sales were up 45 percent compared to year-ago levels.
The 2007 GMC Yukon had 3,419 total deliveries and 3,309 retail deliveries in
March. March deliveries of the all-new Yukon were more than double its total
sales in February (+109 percent).
"Given the strong consumer demand for these great new vehicles, we're feeling
good about our decision to increase and pull ahead production," LaNeve said.
GM's retail selling rate in March was 3.0 million units, a level that is
consistent with GM North American Operations' turnaround strategy. The retail
selling rate has stabilized in recent months, improving from just above 2.7
million units in the fourth quarter of 2005.
"We've made a strategic decision to focus on retail sales and move away from
marginally profitable business that in the end is a drag on our sales results
and profitability," LaNeve added. "This is how we are providing consumers with
the best value in the industry, building strong brands, improving the quality of
our market share and turning around our U.S. business."
Other new vehicles also recorded solid retail sales results in March. Lucerne,
Buick's all-new luxury sedan, posted its best total and retail sales since its
introduction in October 2005. March retail deliveries were 73 percent greater
than year-ago LeSabre retail sales. Through the first quarter, Lucerne's retail
sales account for more than 40 percent of Buick's total retail deliveries.
Consumers and dealers continue to respond very favorably to the new Chevrolet
Impala. Retail sales in March were 16 percent greater than February and the
sales mix has been very favorable, with strong demand for the SS version.
Additionally, dealer orders for Impala have exceeded expectations. HHR also
posted solid sales results in March, with retail sales up 4 percent compared to
February, despite lean dealer inventories.
HUMMER set another sales record in March, with total sales up 176 percent.
Retail deliveries rose 165 percent. HUMMER's March results were driven by
continued strong H3 sales. H3 has widened its sales lead in the entry luxury
utility segment, capturing over 70 percent of the segment for the calendar
year-to-date.
Saab also improved its retail sales performance in March, with retail deliveries
up 15 percent. This increase was led by 9-3 sales and the addition of the 9-7X
to Saab's portfolio.
The redesigned Saturn Vue lengthened its streak of year-over-year sales
improvements, posting a sales increase for the tenth consecutive month.
Certified Used Vehicles
March sales for GM Certified Used Vehicles, Cadillac Certified Pre-Owned
Vehicles, Saab Certified Pre-Owned Vehicles and HUMMER Certified Pre-Owned
Vehicles, were 47,170 units, up 15.5 percent from last March. Certified sales
from Used Cars from Saturn were unavailable at press time. Total year-to-date
certified GM sales, excluding March sales of Used Cars from Saturn, are 124,232
units, comparable to the same period last year.
GM Certified Used Vehicles, the industry's top-selling manufacturer-certified
used brand, posted 42,536 sales, up 6 percent from last March and up 20 percent
from February 2006. Year-to-date sales for GM Certified Used Vehicles are
112,490 units, down 1 percent from the same period in 2005.
Cadillac Certified Pre-Owned Vehicles posted 3,874 sales in March, up 10 percent
from last year. Saab Certified Pre-Owned Vehicles sold 760 units, up 6 percent.
In its third month of operation, HUMMER Certified Pre-Owned sold 83 units.
"March was an outstanding month for GM certified sales, posting a strong
increase over a very solid March performance last year," LaNeve said. "The
industry's top-selling certified brand, GM Certified Used Vehicles, continues to
set the pace for the certified segment, with sales of 42,536 units in March, the
segment's third best monthly sales performance ever."

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.
