HHR Sells Well in OCT
FOR RELEASE: 2005-11-01
GM Reports 257,623 Deliveries in October
Launch Vehicles Continue to Build Sales Momentum
Saturn and HUMMER Post Sales Gains
DETROIT - General Motors dealers in the United States sold 257,623 new cars and trucks in October, down 23 percent from the same month a year ago. Car sales declined 12 percent and truck sales were off 30 percent.
"Although a slowdown after the record sales of the last several months was expected, October was a difficult month for us and the industry," said Mark LaNeve, GM North America vice president, Vehicle Sales, Service and Marketing. "On a positive note, we continue to see solid sales results for our launch vehicles, indicating that consumers recognize the overall value our products represent. We have committed to consumers that they will receive segment-leading value in every vehicle we manufacture, including industry-leading fuel economy, quality and vehicle features and benefits."
GM's new vehicles continue to post solid sales results. Small sport utility vehicle deliveries in October rose 29 percent with the addition of the Chevrolet HHR and Pontiac Torrent to the category. Torrent sales have improved each month since its August launch, with October sales 15 percent higher than September, despite constrained inventories. HHR continues to bring new customers into the GM family, with about half of HHR buyers trading in non-GM vehicles. A 17 percent sales increase for the new Saturn Vue also contributed to the positive sales results in the small utility category. Saturn sales in October were up 11 percent.
Not actually number of how many HHR's were sold during Oct.
