ITEM 8.01. OTHER EVENTS
On September 4, 2007 General Motors Corporation (GM) issued a news release
announcing August 2007 sales. The release is as follows:
GM Reports 388,168 August Deliveries
o Bucking The Industry Trend, 5 Percent Total Sales Increase Led By Full-Size
Pickups and All-New Crossovers
o GMC Division Up More Than 21 Percent; Chevrolet Up Nearly 9 Percent
o Market Share Expected To Be The Best of 2007 So Far
DETROIT - GM dealers in the United States delivered 388,168 vehicles in August,
up more than 5 percent compared with year-ago monthly sales, a strong
performance that resulted in an anticipated highest-of-the-year market share of
nearly 26 percent. Brisk sales of full-size pickups and crossover SUVs led the
increase.
"Bucking the trend in the industry, we were able to post healthy sales results
in August. When combining retail sales with our growing commercial business, our
sales were up when compared with last August. Importantly, last month was our
third-best retail month of the year," said Mark LaNeve, vice president, GM North
America Vehicle Sales, Service and Marketing. "With the double-digit decline in
daily rental sales so far this year, and an overall market that remains
challenging and competitive, we continue to stabilize our retail share and
pricing in the market."
Customers are also recognizing the quality of GM products. A recent study ranked
Buick number one (tied with Lexus) in vehicle dependability. Another customer
service survey has every GM brand above the industry average score - better than
Toyota, Mercedes-Benz, Chrysler, Ford and Land Rover. "The myth of import
superiority is being destroyed. In countless independent consumer surveys, blogs
and expert reviews, it is becoming increasingly evident that we build the
highest quality vehicles and deliver them with world-class service," LaNeve
noted.
Overall incentive spending was flat compared with a year ago. August inventories
were down about 34,000 vehicles to approximately 945,000 vehicles.
"August performance shows we're hitting the sweet spot on truck programs, and
our award-winning Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra full-size pickups are making
important contributions on the retail side," LaNeve added. "Importantly, these
vehicles contributed a 30-percent increase in full-size pickup retail sales,
with Sierra kicking in more than 22,500 retail sales in the month. We are also
pleased with the ongoing success of the GMC Acadia, Saturn OUTLOOK and Buick
Enclave. They are driving our mid-utility crossover segment growth, which is up
more than 400 percent compared with a year ago despite short inventories. As
with many of our vehicles, these all-new crossovers offer segment-leading fuel
economy, terrific performance and outstanding value."
The GMC Acadia, Saturn OUTLOOK and Buick Enclave together had retail sales of
more than 10,400 vehicles, pushing the significant retail increase in GM's
mid-crossover segment.
GM has 24 vehicles in the 2007 model lineup that achieve an EPA-estimated 30 mpg
highway or better.
Warranty coverage has increased substantially as a reason consumers cite when
buying a new GM vehicle. GM's 5 Year/100,000 Mile Powertrain Limited Warranty
continues to be a better choice for customers. GM's coverage focuses on the
complete ownership experience and includes other provisions that competitors do
not offer, including transferability to the next owner, more complete coverage
of parts, and coverage for new and certified used vehicles. In addition, GM
offers superior complementary programs, such as courtesy transportation and
roadside assistance. "GM provides the best coverage in the industry and takes
care of the vehicle and the owner like no other vehicle manufacturer," LaNeve
added.
Certified Used Vehicles
August 2007 sales for all certified GM brands, including GM Certified Used
Vehicles, Cadillac Certified Pre-Owned Vehicles, Saturn Certified Pre-Owned
Vehicles, Saab Certified Pre-Owned Vehicles, and HUMMER Certified Pre-Owned
Vehicles, were 45,195 vehicles, up 1 percent from last August. Total
year-to-date certified GM sales are 361,077 vehicles, up 4 percent from the same
period last year.
GM Certified Used Vehicles, the industry's top-selling manufacturer-certified
used brand, posted 39,905 sales, up 5 percent from last August. Year-to-date
sales for GM Certified Used Vehicles are 317,398 vehicles, up 6 percent from the
same period in 2006.
Cadillac Certified Pre-Owned Vehicles posted August sales of 3,162 vehicles,
down 12 percent from last August. Saturn Certified Pre-Owned Vehicles sold 1,421
vehicles in August, down 28 percent. Saab Certified Pre-Owned Vehicles sold 598
vehicles, down 36 percent, and HUMMER Certified Pre-Owned Vehicles sold 109
vehicles, up 35 percent.
"GM Certified dealers turned in a strong performance in August with sales of
39,905 vehicles, an increase of nearly 5 percent from last August," said LaNeve.
"Our dealer network, the largest in the certified segment, is doing a great job
providing customers with the wide selection, quality, value and peace-of-mind
assurances they're seeking in a certified used vehicle."

like "expect," "anticipate," "estimate," "forecast," "objective," "plan," "goal"
and similar expressions to identify forward-looking statements, representing our
current judgment about possible future events. We believe these judgments are
reasonable, but actual results may differ materially due to a variety of
important factors. Among other items, such factors might include: the pace of
introductions and market acceptance of new products; the effect of competition
on our markets and significant changes in the competitive environment; price
increases or shortages of fuel; and changes in laws, regulations or tax rates.
GM's most recent annual report on Form 10-K and quarterly report on Form 10-Q
provide information about these factors, which may be revised or supplemented in
future reports to the SEC on Form 10-Q or 8-K.
