Lexus Fanatic
I'd really like to know how many GS450h's were sold, but alas the number was combined with the GS430. Glad to see the ES350 very well received, but it's a bit sad that only entry Lexus models are selling. Even the ultra expensive S-Class outsells the GS. The LS460 and GS350 need to arrive sooner.

GM Delivers 345,157 Vehicles In May 2006
Combined Sales of New Full-Size Utilities Up 41 Percent vs. April
Solid Chevy HHR and Pontiac Torrent Sales Drive Small Utility Increase of 34 Percent
Sales Impacted By Reductions In Incentive Programs and Daily Rental Sales
DETROIT June 1, 2006; General Motors dealers in the United States sold 345,157 new cars and trucks in May, down 16 percent compared to year-ago levels, reflecting continued strategic reductions in incentives and daily rentals, which were down 28 percent.
Total car sales were down 19 percent, and truck sales were down 13 percent. While high gas prices continue to have some impact, consumers have responded favorably to GM's new products, particularly the all-new 2007 Chevy Tahoe (11,689 sales), Avalanche (1,692) and Suburban (5,128), GMC Yukon/Yukon XL (7,965) and Cadillac Escalade (2,945) and Escalade ESV (1,097), resulting in a combined 41 percent sales increase compared to April.
"The overall industry in May was dampened by rising fuel prices and interest rates. GM is actively addressing consumers' concerns with its segment-leading fuel economy and a pilot program like the 'Fuel Price Protection Program,' which helps consumers battle the uncertainty of gas price fluctuations," said Mark LaNeve, General Motors North America vice president, Vehicle Sales, Service and Marketing.
A very encouraging trend was the continued success of GM's new vehicles. LaNeve explained, "Our launch vehicles continue to post strong sales results, as evidenced by the sales gains of our all-new full-size utilities and strong retail sales of important new products including the Chevrolet Impala, HHR and Cobalt, Buick Lucerne, Pontiac G6 and Torrent." LaNeve added, "Our May sales volume was not where we need it to be. It clearly was impacted by our reduced reliance on daily rental sales and broad-based incentive programs to drive the business."
"Our customers have told us that success in the marketplace depends on a combination of great new products, strong brands and segment-leading fuel economy, and that is exactly the turnaround strategy we are executing," LaNeve said.
GM's luxury utilities posted strong sales in May, up 34 percent compared to year-ago levels. H3 sales led HUMMER to its thirteenth consecutive month of year-over-year sales increases. Total HUMMER sales were up 53 percent. Cadillac Escalade sales rose 50 percent in May, paced by continuing brisk demand for the all-new 2007 model. Cadillac Escalade ESV sales started strong with 1,097 sold.
The newest additions to GM's small utility lineup, Chevrolet HHR and Pontiac Torrent, helped push total small utility sales up 34 percent.
GM sports cars also posted solid May sales results, with a 44 percent improvement compared to year-ago levels. Corvette led the lineup with a 3.5 percent increase with 3,317 deliveries. Pontiac Solstice and Saturn Sky are selling briskly, with Solstice remaining on dealers' lots an average of 13 days and Sky remaining on lots 2 days.
Total sales of all GM launch vehicles were up 12.5 percent compared to April and accounted for 24 percent of GM's total deliveries for the month. The success of GM's launch vehicles is another critical component of GM's North America restructuring plan.
GM will continue to introduce an array of new vehicles throughout 2006, including the all-new Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra full-size pickups, the fuel-efficient Saturn Vue Green Line Hybrid to be introduced this fall, and GMC Acadia and Saturn Outlook crossovers coming late this year.

* Dodge Caliber Sales Surge 15 Percent Over April 2006 Results
* Dodge Charger Sales Improve 15 Percent Over Last Month; Sales Rise 459

Prior Month Results
AUBURN HILLS, Mich., June 1 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Chrysler Group
reported that U.S. sales for May 2006 declined 14 percent to 191,261 units
compared to sales of 214,575 units in May 2005. Sales are reported on a
day- rate adjusted basis unless otherwise indicated.
"Industry sales were soft in May and Chrysler Group sales displayed
similar results," said Gary Dilts, Chrysler Group Senior Vice President -
Sales. "However, our newest model, the Dodge Caliber is proving to be a
strong performer against a weak month for the industry. It clearly has a
strong appeal with customers."
In the face of declining consumer confidence, rising interest rates and
high fuel prices, Chrysler Group is responding to customer concerns with
powertrain options that deliver high fuel economy, power with improved fuel
efficiency and alternative fuel choices.
"The company is launching new products this year, led by the Dodge
Caliber and followed by the Jeep Compass, that are powered by a new family
of 4 cylinder engines that provide high fuel economy. And, the HEMI(R)
engine MDS seamlessly alternates between smooth, high-fuel-economy
four-cylinder mode when less power is needed, and delivers up to 20 percent
improvement in fuel economy," said Dilts.
Chrysler Group is also a leader in diesel engine technology, delivering
vehicles with diesel engines that can achieve up to 30 percent better fuel
economy and reduce greenhouse gas emissions by up to 20 percent.
Customer response to the all-new Dodge Caliber continues to be robust,
with May 2006 sales of 12,422 units surpassing April sales of 11,236 units
by 15 percent. Days supply for the Dodge Caliber is 13 days.
Sales of the Dodge Charger increased 15 percent over April 2006 sales
to 10,725 units. Sales rose 459 percent over May 2005 sales of 1,841 units,
the first month the vehicle was available to customers.
Chrysler Group's industry-leading Dodge Caravan and Chrysler Town &
Country minivans with the exclusive Stow 'n Go(TM) seating and storage
system, posted a solid month of sales at 40,011 units, a decline of 2
percent over May 2005 sales of 39,309 when adjusted for selling days. Sales
rose 2 percent on an unadjusted basis.
Jeep(R) Commander, the first Jeep with 7-passenger seating, posted a
sales increase of 20 percent to 6,138 units over April 2006 sales of 5,301
units.
In 2006, the Jeep brand will continue to expand with the addition of a
new Jeep Wrangler, Jeep Compass and Jeep Patriot models.
The Jeep Grand Cherokee nameplate broadens its appeal with the addition
of the 2007 Jeep Grand Cherokee diesel, the first diesel-powered full-size
sport utility vehicle in the U.S. The Jeep Grand Cherokee diesel is powered
by a 3.0-liter CRD engine which provides up to a 30 percent improvement in
fuel economy.
The 2007 Jeep Grand Cherokee with the 3.0-liter CRD engine will be
available on the Laredo, Limited and Overland models beginning in the first
quarter of 2007.
"Our 0 percent for 60 months financing program addresses the rising
interest rates affecting most consumers, and the launch of products like
the Dodge Caliber and Jeep Compass address higher fuel prices that are
influencing customer car choices," said Dilts. "As the economy evolves and
consumer confidence improves during the second half of this year, we will
have up to 10 new products in the market for customers to choose from."
Chrysler Group finished the month with 592,486 units of inventory, or a
77-day supply.
