DETROIT -- Everyone can be a General Motors employee again.

Coming off a record sales month in June, GM will extend its "Employee Discount for Everyone" incentive program until Aug. 1, offering employee pricing levels on most 2005 vehicles, several dealers say.

The only vehicles excluded from the program are the Pontiac GTO and Chevrolet Corvette cars and Hummer H1 SUV.

Spurred by the promotion, GM's sales increased 46.9 percent last month over year-ago levels. GM sold more cars and light trucks than any month since September 1986.

The GM program was so popular that the Chrysler group announced plans to offer the same discounts this month. Ford Motor Co. told managers it would match the GM program

Did GM also extend the $3,000 Silverado rebate that applied to all models, including the Duramax? As I recall, it was also scheduled to end on 7/5/05.

<DD>$3,000 Cash Allowances <DD>or 0.0% APR for 36 Months (2) <DD>or 1.9% APR for 48 Months (2) <DD>or 2.9% APR for 60 Months (2) <DD>or 4.9% APR for 72 Months (2) </DD>Until 8/1/05
