Times aren't like they used to be in the automotive industry.With GM's bankruptcy in the spring it has been a year of change and challenge for dealerships. However . . .

DETROIT – A strong performance by GM's four core brands -- Chevrolet, Buick, GMC, and Cadillac -- resulted in GM U.S. October sales of 177,603 vehicles, up 4 percent from last October, the company's first year-over-year gain since January 2008. Total sales increased 13 percent when compared with September. The four brands accounted for about 95 percent of GM's retail sales, an increase of 10 percentage points compared to the prior year.

“We’re very pleased with consumer acceptance to our newest cars, crossovers and trucks,” said Susan Docherty, GM vice president, U.S. Sales. “While we have more work to do, we are making progress and will continue our focus on delivering vehicles and a sales and service experience that brings consumers to Chevrolet, Buick, GMC and Cadillac – and keeps them coming back.”

· Equinox share in compact crossover segment is growing, having more than doubled in a year to 10 percent – the highest since August, 2007; added a third shift to keep up with demand.

· Silverado total sales of 31,800 were driven by the strength of Chevrolet’s “Truck Month” promotion.

"Chevrolet had a solid sales month in October supported by our 2009 launch products Camaro, Equinox and Traverse," said Brent Dewar, vice president, global Chevrolet. "Our broad lineup appeals to a range of consumers, whether it's the modern sports car, Camaro, appealing to performance enthusiasts or the Equinox and Traverse delivering what today's families care about: safety, styling and efficiency."

Management Discussion of October Sales Results

The U.S. October 2009 SAAR of 10.6 million is a 13-percent improvement compared to last month, but is the second-lowest SAAR for October since the early 1980s. The U.S. economy and auto industry are showing signs of recovery:

Economy

· Normalization of credit spread, which is down to approximately 20 to 30 basis points – is helping make more credit available to consumers. However, consumer credit is still contracting – reflecting both weak credit demand and cautious bank lending.

· Consumer confidence has softened a bit in October, but remains much improved from the trough in March.

· Manufacturing sector is increasing output due to depleted current inventories.

· Job losses continue to slow, however employment levels continue to be a concern.

· Housing starts and home resale prices are beginning to stabilize.

Auto Industry

· Industry estimated October SAAR of 10.7 million could be the highest monthly SAAR since November 2008 (excluding Cash-for-Clunkers.)

· It appears that the bulk of the “Cash-for-Clunkers” pull-ahead occurred by the end of September.

· Industry inventory levels are anticipated to increase moderately into Q4 to support modestly rising industry sales.
