* Twenty-eight selling days (S\/D) for the December period this year and twenty-six for last year.**Effective August 2007, GM includes GMC & Chevrolet dealer deliveries of commercial vehicles distributed by American Isuzu Motors, Inc.<\/p>\n -29.4<\/p><\/blockquote>\n DETROIT <\/strong> \u2013 GM dealers in the U.S. reported 160,996 retail deliveries in December \u2013 a 7 percent increase compared to last year, and a 50 percent increase over last month. Retail sales of Chevrolet, Buick, GMC and Cadillac brands were 146,419 \u2013 up 13 percent for the month. In total, GM dealers in the U.S. delivered 208,511 vehicles in December. This represents a total sales decline of 6 percent from the previous year, driven primarily by declines in fleet sales (33 percent) and in sales of non-core brands (55 percent).<\/p>\n\u201cThe fact that our retail market share has increased two full points from the third to fourth quarters demonstrates that we are strengthening our brands,\u201d said Susan Docherty, GM vice president, U.S. Sales. \u201cWe are delivering a healthier sales mix and earning consumer confidence through our launch vehicles such as Chevy Equinox and Camaro, Buick LaCrosse, GMC Terrain and Cadillac SRX.\u201d<\/p>\n In 2009, GM dealers delivered 2,084,492 vehicles, down 30 percent compared with 2008. \u201cThe year-over-year comparison reflects a 38 percent reduction in fleet, reduced overall incentive spending and the orderly wind-down of the Pontiac and Saturn brands,\u201d Docherty said. \u201cOur sell-down of Pontiac and Saturn inventory is 10 months ahead of schedule and we only have about 1,700 vehicles left \u2013 800 Pontiacs and 900 Saturns. This shows real progress in our action plans.\u201d<\/p>\n Other December Key Facts: <\/strong><\/p>\n\n- Retail sales of Chevrolet, Buick, GMC and Cadillac brands were 13 percent higher than in 2008 \u2013 \u00a0achieved with 47 percent less inventory than last year<\/em><\/li>\n
- Chevrolet retail sales were up 14 percent \u2013 driven by strong sales of Camaro (7,518 sales \u2013 segment leader for fifth straight month), Traverse (up 92 percent), Malibu (up 34 percent) and Equinox (up 137 percent) <\/em><\/li>\n
- Buick retail sales were up 32 percent compared with a year ago on the continued strength of LaCrosse (up 370 percent) and Enclave (up 37 percent)<\/em><\/li>\n
- GMC retail sales were up 4 percent vs. December 2008 on strong Acadia sales (up 49 percent) and Terrain (up 197 percent vs. the vehicle it replaced, Pontiac Torrent)<\/em><\/li>\n
- Cadillac retail sales were up 7 percent, led by the 2010 SRX, with sales 357 percent higher than a year ago (4,880 vs. 1,069)<\/em><\/li>\n
- December month-end dealer inventory of 385,000 \u2013 the lowest year-end level on record <\/em><\/li>\n
- Total GM crossover retail sales were up 67 percent<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\u201cThe year 2009 was a watershed year for us in many ways. From our dealer restructuring to our focus on Chevrolet, Cadillac, Buick and GMC, we have made the difficult but necessary decisions to position our new company for success,\u201d Docherty added. \u201cWe\u2019re looking forward to 2010 as a year when the economy continues a modest recovery, industry sales begin to improve and our outstanding new products build additional sales momentum.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cMay the Best Car Win\u201d Campaign \u2013 60-Day Money Back Guarantee<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\nGM’s 60-day money-back guarantee and \u201cMay the Best Car Win\u201d message demonstrated confidence in Chevrolet, Buick, GMC and Cadillac and improved consumer consideration.<\/p>\n \u201cAmericans have given our cars, crossovers and trucks a strong vote of confidence, and we take that very seriously,\u201d Docherty said. \u201cWe\u2019ve listened to those who\u2019ve returned their vehicles to help us continue designing and building products our customers deserve.\u201d<\/p>\n More than 419,000 vehicles have been sold during the campaign and results show that almost all customers chose to keep their vehicles. Just 310 customers have returned their vehicles \u2013 approximately 0.007 percent of all eligible vehicles sold.<\/p>\n Other Brands Sold 14,687 Total Vehicles in December <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n
