Toyota Announces 2005 Best-Ever Third Quarter and September Sales
TORRANCE, Calif., Oct. 3, 2005 -- Toyota Motor Sales (TMS), U.S.A., Inc., today reported best-ever September sales of 178,417 vehicles, an increase of 10.3 percent over last September, and best-ever third quarter sales of 600,196.

Ford's U.S. Sales Declined in September 2005 (ALL brands included)
Ford's U.S. Sales Declined in September 2005
* Overall, Ford Motor Company's U.S. sales totaled 228,157, down 19 percent compared with a year ago.
* Car sales up 3 percent. Ford Mustang, Ford Five Hundred and Mercury Montego keep car sales increasing in advance of Ford Fusion, Mercury Milan, and Lincoln Zephyr introductions.
* Truck sales down 27 percent. Most models decline sharply except for crossover utilities, which increase 39 percent, including a record sales month for Escape Hybrid.
* Land Rover sales increase 45 percent paced by new LR3 and Range Rover Sport.
DEARBORN, Mich., Oct. 3, 2005; Ford Motor Company reported lower vehicle sales in September. Continued strong sales of Ford's new cars and crossover utilities could not offset the undertow created by this summer's sales surge. Most of Ford's other models experienced sharp declines in September following sales increases in July (up 29 percent) and August (up 6 percentOverall, U.S. consumers purchased 228,157 new vehicles from Ford, Lincoln, Mercury, Jaguar, Land Rover and Volvo dealers in September, down 19 percent compared with a year ago. Despite September's decline, the company's third quarter sales were 5 percent higher than a year ago.
"As expected, we experienced 'pay back' in September following a strong performance to start the quarter," said Steve Lyons, Ford group vice president, North America Marketing, Sales and Service. "We're optimistic we can close the year on a positive note with the introduction of our new mid- size cars."
In September, car sales were up 3 percent as strong sales of the new Ford Mustang, Ford Five Hundred, and Mercury Montego offset declines in other car models. The first shipments of Ford's new mid-size cars (Ford Fusion, Mercury Milan, and Lincoln Zephyr) have started to arrive at dealer showrooms and are available for delivery even though the official introduction month is November.
Sales of crossover utilities (Ford Escape, Ford Freestyle, Mercury Mariner, and Volvo XC70 and XC90) climbed 39 percent in September. The Ford Escape Hybrid set a new monthly sales record (1,808) in September. Almost 15,000 Escapes equipped with hybrid engine technology have been sold so far.
Traditional sport utilities experienced the largest declines. Sales in this category were off 51 percent compared with last September. A strong showing last year, when the company offered 0 percent financing for 72 months, exacerbated the magnitude of the decline. Still, sales of these models have experienced declines in 2005 as gas prices have risen.
"Traditional SUVs will continue to face headwinds in the coming months," said Lyons. "Fortunately, our lineup of cars and crossover utility vehicles is strong and getting stronger. These categories likely will continue to attract buyers in an environment where gasoline prices are rising. We're optimistic we can achieve further gains with the introduction of three all-new mid-size cars -- the Ford Fusion, Mercury Milan, and Lincoln Zephyr -- and the Mercury Mariner hybrid utility vehicle."
Land Rover was a notable exception to the trend of lower SUV sales as the all-new LR3 and Range Rover Sport models helped the brand post a 45 percent sales increase in September.
The company's top selling model, the Ford F-Series truck, achieved the highest sales for any quarter (286,936) in its 57-year history despite a sharp decline in the last month of the quarter. September sales were 69,643, down 30 percent from last year's record sales (99,720).
* Overall, Ford Motor Company's U.S. sales totaled 228,157, down 19 percent compared with a year ago.
* Car sales up 3 percent. Ford Mustang, Ford Five Hundred and Mercury Montego keep car sales increasing in advance of Ford Fusion, Mercury Milan, and Lincoln Zephyr introductions.
* Truck sales down 27 percent. Most models decline sharply except for crossover utilities, which increase 39 percent, including a record sales month for Escape Hybrid.
* Land Rover sales increase 45 percent paced by new LR3 and Range Rover Sport.
DEARBORN, Mich., Oct. 3, 2005; Ford Motor Company reported lower vehicle sales in September. Continued strong sales of Ford's new cars and crossover utilities could not offset the undertow created by this summer's sales surge. Most of Ford's other models experienced sharp declines in September following sales increases in July (up 29 percent) and August (up 6 percentOverall, U.S. consumers purchased 228,157 new vehicles from Ford, Lincoln, Mercury, Jaguar, Land Rover and Volvo dealers in September, down 19 percent compared with a year ago. Despite September's decline, the company's third quarter sales were 5 percent higher than a year ago.
"As expected, we experienced 'pay back' in September following a strong performance to start the quarter," said Steve Lyons, Ford group vice president, North America Marketing, Sales and Service. "We're optimistic we can close the year on a positive note with the introduction of our new mid- size cars."
In September, car sales were up 3 percent as strong sales of the new Ford Mustang, Ford Five Hundred, and Mercury Montego offset declines in other car models. The first shipments of Ford's new mid-size cars (Ford Fusion, Mercury Milan, and Lincoln Zephyr) have started to arrive at dealer showrooms and are available for delivery even though the official introduction month is November.
Sales of crossover utilities (Ford Escape, Ford Freestyle, Mercury Mariner, and Volvo XC70 and XC90) climbed 39 percent in September. The Ford Escape Hybrid set a new monthly sales record (1,808) in September. Almost 15,000 Escapes equipped with hybrid engine technology have been sold so far.
Traditional sport utilities experienced the largest declines. Sales in this category were off 51 percent compared with last September. A strong showing last year, when the company offered 0 percent financing for 72 months, exacerbated the magnitude of the decline. Still, sales of these models have experienced declines in 2005 as gas prices have risen.
"Traditional SUVs will continue to face headwinds in the coming months," said Lyons. "Fortunately, our lineup of cars and crossover utility vehicles is strong and getting stronger. These categories likely will continue to attract buyers in an environment where gasoline prices are rising. We're optimistic we can achieve further gains with the introduction of three all-new mid-size cars -- the Ford Fusion, Mercury Milan, and Lincoln Zephyr -- and the Mercury Mariner hybrid utility vehicle."
Land Rover was a notable exception to the trend of lower SUV sales as the all-new LR3 and Range Rover Sport models helped the brand post a 45 percent sales increase in September.
The company's top selling model, the Ford F-Series truck, achieved the highest sales for any quarter (286,936) in its 57-year history despite a sharp decline in the last month of the quarter. September sales were 69,643, down 30 percent from last year's record sales (99,720).

GM Reports 349,202 Deliveries in September
GM Reports 349,202 Deliveries in September
All-New Impala, HHR and Cobalt Lead Into Chevy's Next Wave of Product Introductions
Pontiac G6 Records Best Sales Month Since Launch
Buick LaCrosse Retail Sales Outpace Year-Ago Century/Regal Retail Deliveries for 9th Month
H3 Continues to Drive Record HUMMER Sales
DETROIT - General Motors dealers in the United States sold 349,202 new cars and trucks in September, down 24 percent from the same month a year ago. Car sales declined 14.5 percent and truck sales were off 29.5 percent.
GM's September sales results were down following a strong performance in June and July, paced by the GM Employee Discount for Everyone program. September results also were impacted by comparison to very strong year-ago sales, when GM ran its "72-Hour Sale," which offered 0 percent financing for 72 months, resulting in a number of industry sales records.
"We knew going into September that it would be challenging given continued inventory constraints and compared to exceptionally strong year-ago results," said Mark LaNeve, GM North America vice president, Vehicle Sales, Service and Marketing. "The four-month period of the GM Employee Discount for Everyone drove a 6 percent increase in sales and pushed inventory levels to record lows. We're particularly pleased that we continue to experience strong sales of our launch vehicles, led by the HUMMER H3, Pontiac G6, Cadillac DTS and Chevrolet Impala and HHR, which our dealers tell us are moving off their lots as quickly as they arrive from the plant."
As Chevrolet begins its second wave of product introductions with an additional 10 new vehicles by the end of 2006, the new Impala, HHR and Cobalt continue to build sales momentum. Impala deliveries have been very strong as production continues to ramp up, achieving turn rates over 43 percent. September sales of the 2006 Impala totaled 18,603 units. HHR sales in September were 55 percent greater than August and also are spending little time in dealers' inventories, with a turn rate over 40 percent. Cobalt sales continue at a brisk pace despite very low inventories, and it is drawing new owners into the GM family with more than 40 percent of its sales for the calendar year-to-date coming from non-GM owners.
Other GM launch vehicles also continue to build momentum in the market. H3 is driving record HUMMER sales performance and appealing to new GM customers. About 70 percent of H3 buyers previously were not GM owners. HUMMER's September deliveries were up 128 percent compared to last year, and H2 sales hit a milestone in September with delivery of the 100,000th vehicle.
Retail sales of the Buick LaCrosse for the ninth consecutive month surpassed year-ago combined retail sales for Century and Regal.
Pontiac G6 recorded its best sales since launch, with 13,422 deliveries, bolstered by the arrival of the G6 coupe.
Saturn's September sales were up 8 percent, spurred by an 18 percent increase in sales of the new Vue, which also is experiencing high turn rates and low inventory.
GM continues to rebuild its inventories, which at the end of September were approximately 818,000 units.
Certified Used Vehicles
September sales for all certified GM brands, including GM Certified Used Vehicles, Cadillac Certified Pre-Owned Vehicles, Used Cars from Saturn and Saab Certified Pre-Owned Vehicles, were 41,532 units, down 5 percent from last September. Total year-to-date certified GM sales are 402,469 units, up nearly 3 percent from the same period last year.
GM Certified Used Vehicles, the industry's top-selling manufacturer-certified used brand, posted sales of 35,416 units, down 4 percent from the previous September. Year-to-date sales for GM Certified Used Vehicles are 341,769 units, up 4 percent.
Cadillac Certified Pre-Owned Vehicles posted September sales of 2,924 units, down 11 percent from last September. Cadillac Certified year-to-date sales are up 10 percent over the same period in 2004. Used Cars from Saturn sold 2,336 units, down 17 percent. Saab Certified Pre-Owned Vehicles sold 856 units, up nearly 12 percent.
"September completes an outstanding third quarter for GM Certified Used Vehicles, the industry's top-selling certified brand, which established a new all-time quarterly sales record for the category with 122,039 units sold," LaNeve said. "Looking ahead, we're confident that GM Certified will continue to set the pace for the certified segment in the coming quarter."

General Motors Corp. (NYSE: GM), the world's largest automaker, has been the global industry sales leader since 1931. Founded in 1908, GM today employs about 317,000 people around the world. It has manufacturing operations in 32 countries and its vehicles are sold in 200 countries. In 2004, GM sold nearly 9 million cars and trucks globally, up 4 percent and the second-highest total in the company's history. GM's global headquarters are at the GM Renaissance Center in Detroit.

Note: GM sales and production results are available on GM Media OnLine at http://media.gm.com by clicking on News, then Sales/Production. In this press release and related comments by General Motors management, our use of the words "expect," "anticipate," "estimate," "forecast," "objective," "plan," "goal" and similar expressions is intended to identify forward looking statements. While these statements represent our current judgment on what the future may hold, and we believe these judgments are reasonable, actual results may differ materially due to numerous important factors that are described in GM's most recent report on SEC Form 10-K (at page II-20) which may be revised or supplemented in subsequent reports on SEC Forms 10-Q and 8-K. Such factors include, among others, the following: changes in economic conditions, currency exchange rates or political stability; shortages of fuel, labor strikes or work stoppages; market acceptance of the corporation's new products; significant changes in the competitive environment; changes in laws, regulations and tax rates; and, the ability of the corporation to achieve reductions in cost and employment levels to realize production efficiencies and implement capital expenditures at levels and times planned by management.

American Honda Reports Record September 2005 Sales
American Honda Reports Record September 2005 Sales
Record Civic Numbers Highlight Strong Sales of Honda Car Models
TORRANCE, Calif., Oct. 3 -- Total September Honda and Acura automobile sales increased 11.7 percent over last year to 121,163 units, and shattered the previous record of 93,779 set in 2003. Driven by September's 22.5 percent increase in Honda car sales, American Honda's year-to-date sales continue on a record-setting pace of 1,112,917 cars and light trucks, increasing 6.4 percent over last year on a daily selling rate basis, putting the company in line for a 12th straight year of sales increases.
Record September Civic sales of 30,165 units were up 36.9 percent, bolstered by strong consumer response to the mid-month introduction of the completely redesigned 2006 Civic Sedan and Coupe models. "The new 2006 Civic is off to a fantastic start and is already having a positive impact on our sales volume," said Richard Colliver, executive vice president of Honda sales. "With fuel prices at record levels, the timing is perfect for the introduction of a Civic that gets 40 miles per gallon."
Honda also sold an all-time record number of hybrid vehicles, with September sales increasing 180.3 percent to 4,351 and year-to-date sales increasing 79.4 percent to 35,552. The popular Civic Hybrid had best-ever September sales of 1,916, up 24.8 percent over last year, and Accord Hybrid posted its best sales month ever at 2,352.
The Honda Division posted its fourth consecutive record month, with an increase of 13.4 percent to 104,529 cars and light trucks, while its year-to- date sales grew 5.7 percent to 952,208 units. Sales of Honda's best-selling Accord model increased 11.7 percent in September to 33,884, and the Odyssey minivan posted record September sales of 12,347, an increase of 29.6 percent.
Acura Division posted its 23rd consecutive record month with a 2.2 percent increase to 16,634 in September, and year-to-date Acura sales are up 10.2 percent to 160,709. Record September TSX sales increased 4.8 percent over last year to 2,960, and the RL had its best September since 1997 with sales of 1,552.

DaimlerChrysler AG Reports 4 Percent Increase in U.S. Sales for Passenger Vehicles fo
DaimlerChrysler AG Reports 4 Percent Increase in U.S. Sales for Passenger Vehicles for September 2005
-- Chrysler Group Reports Sales of 175,556 Vehicles, a 4 Percent Increase for September 2005
-- Mercedes-Benz USA Reports Sales of 17,552 Vehicles, a 1 Percent Increase for September 2005
NEW YORK, Oct. 3 -- DaimlerChrysler AG , the third largest U.S. auto maker, today reported total group sales of 193,108 passenger vehicles in the U.S. for September 2005, a 4 percent increase compared to September 2004.
Chrysler Group, which consists of the Chrysler, Jeep(R) and Dodge brands, posted sales of 175,556 vehicles in the U.S., an increase of 4 percent.
After launching a record nine new models in 2004, the Chrysler Group continues to launch new vehicles at a brisk pace during 2005, including the all-new 2006 Jeep Commander, Dodge Charger and Jeep Liberty CRD. The company is currently shipping to dealers the all-new 2006 Jeep Commander, which has received enthusiastic feedback from the media and great anticipation among consumers.
Mercedes-Benz USA (MBUSA) posted sales of 17,552, a 1 percent increase compared to the same month last year and the best September sales in its history. In September, the all-new 2006 M-Class, built in Vance, Alabama, continued its strong momentum in the market. Arriving at dealerships this month, the R-Class, which represents a new segment Mercedes calls the Grand Sports Tourer segment, will join the M-Class and double the company's penetration in the fast-growing luxury light truck market. These models will further expand MBUSA's position as offering the widest product portfolio in the luxury vehicle market and the company expects yet another record year.
Detailed vehicle sales information for MBUSA and Chrysler Group will be announced later today in separate press releases issued by the groups. September 2005 and September 2004 each had 25 selling days.
