ITEM 8.01. OTHER EVENTS
On August 1, 2006 General Motors Corporation (GM) issued a news release
announcing July 2006 sales. The release is as follows:
GM Delivers 410,332 Vehicles; Best Retail Month Of 2006
Market Share Trend Continues Positive Momentum - July Anticipated at 27 Percent
Chevrolet Has Best Retail Car Sales Month Since October 2001
Pontiac G6 up 80.5 Percent; Launch Vehicles Continue Momentum
Small Utilities Up 33.2 Percent Compared to July 2005
DETROIT - General Motors' dealers in the United States sold 410,332 new cars and
trucks in July, the company's best retail and second-best monthly sales
performance year-to-date.
"July was our best retail month of 2006, with our strong performance led by
launch vehicles such as the Pontiac Torrent and G6, Saturn Sky, Chevrolet Cobalt
and Impala and Buick Lucerne," said Mark LaNeve, General Motors North America
vice president, Vehicle Sales, Service and Marketing. "Importantly, our
performance in June and July shows we're gaining substantial sales momentum and
stabilizing market share. We remain optimistic moving into the launches of the
Saturn Aura, fuel-efficient Vue Green Line hybrid and Outlook crossover, GMC
Acadia crossover, the all-new Chevrolet Silverado pickup and Aveo economy car,
and the exciting new GMC Sierra full-size pickup."
Average monthly sales of all GM launch vehicles in June and July were up 67
percent compared with the average monthly sales in the January through May 2006
period.
Chevrolet continues its sales supremacy with 244,080 vehicles sold, propelled by
an 18.2 percent increase in Chevrolet car sales compared to last year. Chevrolet
sold 81,430 cars in July 2006, compared with 71,634 in July 2005, and had its
best selling month since "Keep America Rolling" in October 2001.
Chevrolet had its best retail performance of the year and Cobalt had its best
retail sales month since launch. Of note, retail passenger car sales are up
versus a strong July last year, demonstrating GM can compete in all product
categories.
Pontiac retail sales for the month showed a 15.9 percent increase compared with
July 2005, with total sales of 40,933. Solstice continues to be one of the
hottest cars in the country with a 14 day average turn time. G6 had its best
selling month since introduction and the G6 convertible is red-hot with an 11
day average turn time. The GTO saw a 65.1 percent increase in sales compared
with a year ago and set a July sales record. The Torrent crossover also achieved
an all-time sales record, with 4,830 vehicles sold in July.
Buick Lucerne, Pontiac G6, Chevy Malibu and Impala drove the mid-car category to
its highest July sales level since 2004. Buick Lucerne set an all-time retail
sales record with 9,145 vehicles delivered in July and Pontiac G6 also set an
all-time sales record, up 80.5 percent. Chevrolet Malibu is up 25.2 percent,
while Impala had its best retail sales month since August 2003 with sales up
59.6 percent.
Other GM divisions posted solid results as HUMMER H3 showed a 24.1 percent
increase compared with July 2005 and was up 36.6 percent compared to June 2006.
HUMMER had its best sales month of the year with 6,991 deliveries. CYTD HUMMER
sales of 39,786 vehicles are up 60.1 percent compared with the same seven months
one year ago. Saturn car sales are up compared with July 2005, with 64,691
vehicles delivered, and the Sky had a strong start with 860 vehicles sold in
July. Buick delivered 23,609 vehicles in the month, with Lucerne achieving its
best retail sales month since launch and LaCrosse having its best retail sales
month since December 2005.
Chevrolet HHR, Equinox, Saturn Vue and Pontiac Torrent pushed total small
utility sales up 33.2 percent compared with a year ago, and up more than 49
percent in the first seven months of the year compared to the same period a year
ago. HHR had its best retail sales month since launch, and set an all-time total
sales record with 14,838 vehicles delivered, up 249.6 percent compared with July
2005, and CYTD deliveries of 66,828 vehicles. Chevrolet Equinox had its best
retail sales month of the year.
On the truck side of the market, full-size pickup trucks had their strongest
sales month of the year with 66,583 Chevy Silverado and 22,947 GMC Sierra trucks
sold. GMC had its best retail sales month of the year, with 48,085 vehicles
delivered, and the GMC Canyon had its best retail month of the year, delivering
2,717 trucks. GM sold 4,455 all-new 2007 Chevy Avalanche, 12,950 Tahoe, 6,269
Suburban, 6,022 GMC Yukon, and 3,385 Yukon XL vehicles in July. GM's luxury
utilities posted solid sales results in July, with the all-new 2007 Cadillac
Escalade selling 2,105 vehicles; 2007 Escalade ESV selling 1,120 vehicles; and
Cadillac SRX delivering 1,822 vehicles. July was the best sales month of the
year for large utilities (including large luxury) with 37,455 vehicles sold.
GM sports cars also posted solid July sales results, with a 100.1 percent
improvement compared with year-ago levels. Corvette sales were up 55.2 percent,
with 2,794 vehicles delivered. Pontiac Solstice (1,342 vehicles) and Saturn Sky
(860 vehicles) are continuing their brisk sales pace.
Despite total sales being down 19.5 percent compared with July 2005, LaNeve was
very encouraged by strong June and July sales results, led by GM's launch
vehicle and passenger car performance. "Our `Go To Market' strategy of offering
industry-leading products and value, and doing the right thing for the customer,
is showing positive results."
Certified Used Vehicles
July 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
39,282 units, down 22 percent from last July. Total year-to-date certified GM
sales are 302,879 units, down 1 percent from the same period last year.
GM Certified Used Vehicles, the industry's top-selling certified pre-owned
brand, posted 33,404 sales in July, down 22 percent from July 2005. Year-to-date
sales for GM Certified Used Vehicles are 262,082 units, up 1.2 percent.
Cadillac Certified Pre-Owned Vehicles posted 3,151 sales in July, down 12
percent from last July. Saturn Certified Pre-Owned Vehicles sold 1,798 units,
down 41 percent. Saab Certified Pre-Owned Vehicles sold 863 units, up 7 percent.
In its seventh month of operation, HUMMER Certified Pre-Owned sold 66 units.
"July was a challenging month, with sales for all certified GM brands down
compared to our record performance last July, when GM set a monthly category
sales record," said LaNeve. "GM Certified Used Vehicles, the industry's
top-selling certified brand, continues to lead all manufacturers in the
category, with sales year-to-date up more than 1 percent from the same period in
2005. A strong month on the new-vehicle side and the recent 72-Hour Sale
promotion generated large volumes of certified-eligible vehicles, and we look
forward to robust sales in coming months."

increases or shortages of fuel; and changes in laws, regulations or tax rates.
