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, May 2-- 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."

release and related comments by General Motors management, our use of the
words "expect," "anticipate," "estimate," "forecast," "objective," "plan,"

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.
