Looks like GM sales are slowing inching up so no need to shut anymore plants. This is with a 25% drop in rental fleet sales. The big question is whether this is done profitably!! We will soon find out with 3rd qtr results coming out next week.
“We are seeing the revitalized marketing strategy in North America first stabilize, and now slightly improve, our market share in the United States -- from 23.8 percent in the first quarter of 2006, to 24.1 percent in Q2, then 25.1 percent in Q3.” HUMMER sales remain strong with a 54-percent increase year to date.
Saab global year to date sales increased 7 percent compared with year-ago levels, to 104,000 vehicles, helping the brand set a new record for the first nine months of the year. Growth was seen in Europe and Asia where sales increased 18 percent compared with the first nine months of 2005. In Sweden, the Saab 9-5 BioPower was once again the number one ‘green vehicle’ sold.
I think this is good Rock. We went through the same thing with Ford years ago on pricing issues. They wanted to gain more profitability by squeezing us. We finally had enough and told them we can't cut costs anymore unless we send them faulty parts. We drew up a proposal absolving us of any warranty claims/issues due to us having to use lower-grade materials and that if we were contacted by the dealer / buyers of the product we would tell them of Ford's decision to make us use inferior parts/components in our assemblies. If they didn't sign the proposal we would build out the parts for that contract then stop shipment of parts. They backed off the price cuts.
Sometimes as a supplier this is the only way to keep yourself in business because the OEM will squeeze you out of business. I think C&A did the right thing - wonder how it's going to play out. I say C&A should stick to their guns!!
Priced at $29,990. Which makes me wonder how they will price the Outlook and Enclave, given both are supposedly more upscale as per GM's new makrekting strategy.
That confuses me, though. If Saturn's becoming the import fighter and trying to hit Honda head on, then the Outlook would be below the Acadia, right? Or are they trying to be the cut-price near-lux brand?
What annoys me most though is that the Outlook looks better on the outside than the Acadia, but the Acadia has a far more attractive interior.
Forget what you may have read elsewhere, it now looks almost certain Monaro will play a part in the future of GM affiliates here and in the US
While Holden’s new Ute and Commodore Sports Wagon were always destined to see production (see separate story here), Monaro’s future has been less certain. Now CarPoint can report exclusively that there is light at the end of the tunnel for the iconic Aussie nameplate. But don’t expect the ‘new’ Monaro to be a carbon-copy of the old
Indeed, top of Holden’s VE wishlist (but dependent on strong sales acceptance of a VE sedan range, then ute and sports wagon), CarPoint has confirmed VE Monaro reached final clay stage, or perhaps even early tooling before it was killed off.
According to those who saw it, it was stunner in the same tradition as the recent generation coupe.
Holden sources say disappointment that the car will never see the light of day is huge in some quarters. Yet insiders are adamant that it will not be dusted off and put into production as the market has already moved on. A VE Monaro would need to reflect a totally different market and timing they say.
So how did the VE Monaro get so far and then be so abruptly abandoned? At the time it was being finalised in 2002-03, there was powerful sentiment around the Monaro with a strong baby boomer buyer base reliving past Monaro glories. There was also great hope that the Pontiac GTO version would be a big sales winner.
Just as all these factors needed to come together to support a convincing business case for the VE replacement, the Monaro picture unravelled in several key areas.
After an initial buying spurt from a limited older buyer base, V2 Monaro sales almost stalled exposing the hefty entry price and lack of appeal that kept younger buyers away.
Clearance staff offers kept it alive until the VZ’s arrival. Then the Americans were so underwhelmed by its soft engines and presentation, that many saw the Aussie Monaro as an insult as a replacement for the hallowed Pontiac GTO heritage.
The Americans were proved correct after US-market revisions kick-started a massive local VZ Monaro sales revival locally that was still running red hot right to the end. Even export sales improved enough to consider a replacement.
However, there was an interim period when VE Monaro had no internal champion especially when Pontiac was not sticking its hand up for a replacement as pre-facelift export GTO models stockpiled in holding yards.
Against a backdrop of GM austerity, Holden had to kill off the VE Monaro and assign valuable resources to more profitable projects.
There is now a wildcard that has changed all that.
The development of the new Chevrolet Camaro on the VE platform will deliver a cheaper, more youthful model for both the local and US market. It will help fund a two-door platform in both left and right hand drive, on a shorter wheelbase.
The US launch of this model will break the current equilibrium among GM’s US divisions and force Pontiac to match Chevrolet’s hot new star.
And that’s where Monaro comes in!
The days where Pontiac could market a Camaro with a different nose cone and tail lights badged as a Firebird (pictured) are gone. Pontiac will need to come up with its own coupe, the specifications for which now appears to be more in line with what Holden needs in a Monaro replacement.
Pontiac has already requested variations of the VE sedan range to supplement its US models and the door is open for both Holden and Pontiac to develop a shared Coupe to complement shared sedan models.
In other words, the synergies between Pontiac and Holden are about to get much closer than when the Aussie team was supplying a Pontiac-badged Monaro.
Now both Holden and Pontiac need a more youthful and sportier model to compete against the Camaro and fresh new Daimler-Chrysler challengers in a younger, lower price market.
The Monaro is now in a remarkably similar position to when the final HJ Monaro GTS version was facing internal competition from a more youthful Torana range including the later SS Hatchback.
This time it seems that Holden, instead of killing off the Monaro as it did then, will respond with a shared Pontiac model that has never been more exciting or alive!
I'm sure most of you that have been following the Astra have seen the photos of the 4 door sedan GM put together for the USA. It was shown in Turkey. Basically it is a slightly restyled version of the last generation Astra. Think Chevy Cobalt with a different rear quarter panel treatment and Aura like headlights. I understand they needed a 4 door sedan for the US market but boy this is not what I expected! Very conservative styling. Oh well, As long as they still bring the 3 and 5 door hatch to the USA untouched I'm buying.
here is the car in testing. It will be the Brazilian market Chevy Vectra
DETROIT (Reuters) -- General Motors today posted a sharply narrower quarterly net loss, citing progress in its turnaround effort including cost cuts for labor and health care. The world's largest automaker, which lost $10.6 billion in 2005, posted a narrower net loss of $115 million, compared with a loss of $1.7 billion a year earlier. story Published: 10/25/06 8:12 AM / UPDATED: 10/25/2006 9:06 A.M.

Well, if I was going to spend over $50K on an SUV, I would definitly consider the Mercedes GL. My price range is more the $25-$40,000 range, so I guess I will look but not touch. You would have to go with a fully loaded Yukon Denali or an Escalade to get into that price range. High $$ stuff for most of us. Not really going to take much of the GM market away. Would be nice for GM to maybe have a SUV of the year to crow about though.
Know this is off topic but Chrysler reported losing $1.5 Billion.
In GM's case I hope this number is not going to made larger in a year or two by restated "accounting". A loss is still a loss, but not as bad as Chrysler and FOMOCO!! :sick:
there is something controversial about GM's Q3 profit/loss report, as the stock dropped quite a bit after the report. sls, somebody, help me here - I heard it on the news, but then forgot what they said. It was something like a one-time profit-taking that was actually fairly bogus or would not be repeated in the future, or something, which made Q3 look a lot more rosy at the bottom line that it really was.
As for Chrysler, the $1.5 billion is just the start of the bad news, as they have more than 100 days of some '06 models (Ram, Durango, Caravan anyone?! :-P) sitting around and they are running out of space to stack them up, all of which is to say that Q4 is going to come out pretty bleak for Chrysler Group too.

There were some special items the were costs, not profits, some of it was Delphi related. Without the special items, there was a profit of about 500 million, very good news. At this point, GM pending bankruptcy seems far off in the future. The Delphi problem may still have some future impact, but GM has assumed additional potential risks (part of the special items), so future problems at Delphi may not result in more write offs for GM.
True. The local Chrysler dealer's overflow lot is filled. It might be a heck of a time to make a great deal on an SRT8 Chrysler 300-C, that is if I were in the market for a new car. Hey, my 1988 Buick Park Avenue is getting a little old...
Read about ChryCo as well. Seems they are using a system GM & Ford abandoned a few decades ago. It's funny how using certain practices (or maybe techniques is a better word) can paint a rosy picture...and then you find out that some roses smell like...
I wonder how the new GMT900s (trucks, not the SUVs) are going to do. Does anyone think there'll be a mad rush not that fuel $$$ have gone down somewhat? Will the public stick to their somewhat conservation and not be lured into the falsehood of $2 fuel?
With GM being allowed to shut down plants and buy off employees they do not have to keep plants running just to build cars to try and pay the overhead. This allows them to build fewer cars. So they cut back on rental fleet cars (not profitable). It also lets them cut back on building vehicles for retail sale. This allows them to drop most of the rebates. If you look at the rebate sheets you would see that the only large rebates are on old model SUV's and the soon to be old Pick up trucks. This is where the profit came from (also great sales of the new large SUV's to both customers and DEALERS, time will tell if they overbuilt the large SUV's)
Also now that there is a little more cash form the cuts they can put some money back into the vehicles since they are now more profitable (overhead is a huge cost on the price of a vehicle)
Well, on one hand I hope the public isn't lulled into a false sense of security due to the current low fuel prices. Seems Exxon recorded a record $10 billion profit. Geeze, I bet GM would like a part of that action! However, the new GM SUVs and trucks are the nicest I've ever seen.
It's possible we just passed the low point in fuel prices. Sheetz, the bellwether here (central VA), just raised their prices 4 cents, to $2.09 for 87. We'll see if others follow, but in the gas prices thread, others are reporting turnarounds as well.
Andre, if you don't want to buy new, there's a great-looking (at least from 20 feet away) 1981 Chevy Malibu Classic 4-door for sale in someone's driveway locally (central VA). Unfortunately in my view, it's that blah tan color.
If you're interested, I'll send you more details to your e-mail address. Just let me know here.
I checked the sheets as well. Yes, the incentives are on the old trucks only. Which is good. I think it is in GM's best interest to not put heavy incentives on the GMT900s. Start off without and maybe have a couple for the model-year closeout, but not give-away incentives.
I believe they should not put incentives on the vehicles as well, let them sell on their own merits. And if they don't sell then changes need to be made. But keep the fleet sales and incentives to a minimum.
"Seems Exxon recorded a record $10 billion profit."
Actually, it was closer to $10.5 billion in profit.
Of course, they also paid $7.7 billion in income taxes, $7.8 billion in excise taxes, and $10.8 billion in other taxes (for a total tax bill of $26.2 Billion for the quarter).

Actually, if it had a 305 V-8, I might be tempted! But my is that I'm trying to abstain from buying ANYTHING at least until the summer of 2008. That's when a naughty little thing that got me a few points on my driving record comes off. I got off lucky this year because my insurance company didn't pull my driving record. I'm worried that if I do something like add another car to my insurance policy, they might pull my driving record.
I know that blah tan color! It's pretty close to what the Maryland State Police once used.
"GM will release October sales on Wednesday. I will post the figures here"
According to Edmunds.com GM should sell 300,000 units fir the month of October which would be an 18.0% percent gain(unadjusted sales days)from October 2005. We'll see if Edmunds forcasted right on GM sales for last month. The 18.0 percent gain in sales(October 2006 vs October 2005) would be more than Honda's 2.5% and Nissan's 7.8 percent gain although not more than rivals Toyota's 18.5 percent gain. Ford also posted an October 2006 over vs October 2005 sales gain. Again this is just what Edmunds forcasted.
October DEATH month for the domestics last year? It was the month when all the buyers had a hangover from getting drunk on employee pricing all summer, and sales dropped like 50%, right? So an 18% gain over that has only as much meaning as the double-digit declines GM and Ford were showing this summer because last summer's employee pricing was so hot.

I've been gone for a few weeks becuse my computer crashed (motherboard) I hope all of y'all are good and well. God only knows What I've missed. last thing I got to see was the 2008-2009 CTS-V test mule before it totally crashed. :sick:
I don't know. I went and drove the latest from GMC. It was the first of the new model Sierra SLE series. It was OK, not anything better than my 2005 Sierra. In fact is was not as quiet as my SLE. Bad news is they are not offering the Denali in the PU truck for the new series. I like the looks a bit better than the last generation. I got a guy willing to trade a Denali PU for my Hybrid. He is only getting 10 MPG with that 6.0L with quadrasteer.
gagrice, are you serius pal ???? I test driven the new Tahoe, at work and it's light years more quiter than the 05' Silverado's we have. :confuse: I'm very surprised you came away with that conclusion. I guess I will have to test drive a new pick-up and see if I come up with the same conclusion pal. :surprise:
Drive one they are nice but not some great improvement. The SLE I drove was noisier on acceleration than my 2005. Both have the same engine 5.3L. No 6 speed automatic in the 2007. I guess I will see what they offer next. I hope this guy that wants my truck backs out. They are supposed to have a lot of fancy traction control. I don't need it. If my truck sells I may try to find an older Chevy or GMC. I also tried the Tundra Limited crew cab. Not ready to take on GM yet.
rorr, I promised you I would deliver and keep you posted, and thus I want to follow through. e-mail me what ya think pal. :surprise:

GM: General Model View, Market Share & Profit News
GM, with all it's cost cutting is finally becoming more profitable and is offering the consumer great products at a price that one is willing to pay for. I think we will see this continue in to the end of the decade. I'm very optomistic GM, will be a leader of value as we move forward as we see Buick, Saab, Pontiac, GMC, line-ups be rebuilt. Chevy, Cadillac, Hummer, are already taking faster steps IMHO to make this happen faster.
No doubt the new GM full-size trucks are the best...again. This might not last long however. The new 2007 Tundra will arrive in February. On paper it looks on top, with strongest standard V-6 (239 hp), torquest mid-level V8 (314 lb.ft), both being mated to a 5-speed auto, unlike the Chevys 4-speed. The big news though is the new Tundra's optional 5.7 V8 with 350+ hp, and the first 6-speed auto in a full-size truck. It will be an interesting comparison.
