On January 3, 2001,  General  Motors  Corporation's  (GM)  issued the  following
December vehicle sales in a Form 8-K:

ITEM 5.  OTHER ITEMS


     GM December Vehicle Sales Off 18%; Industry Sales Continue to Moderate
                    -     December Car Sales Down 15%
                    -     December Truck Sales Down 20%
                    -     CY Utility Sales Up 6%

      DETROIT -- General  Motors  dealers  sold  337,972  new cars and trucks in
December, down 18 percent from last year. GM truck sales decreased 20 percent to
176,364  units from  December  1999 and car sales were off 15 percent to 161,608
units.  GM's December  results  reflect in part the moderation that the industry
has shown in recent  months and an easing from last year's  blistering  December
sales pace of 18 million units.

      "The  industry  moderation  we've seen in the  second  half of 2000 is not
surprising  although  demand was softer than  expected in  December,"  said Bill
Lovejoy,  group vice  president  of North  America  Vehicle  Sales,  Service and
Marketing. "In today's challenging market, the keys to success remain in quality
products that appeal to consumers.  With innovative new products in 2001 such as
our new  mid-utilities,  heavy-duty  diesel  pickups  and  Chevrolet  Avalanche,
dealers  will be in a stronger  position to  aggressively  compete in this tough
market environment."

2000 Calendar-year Performance
-------------------------------

      GM dealers continued to post strong truck sales in the 2000 calendar year.
Consumers  bought six percent  more GM utilities in 2000 than the prior year and
all utility segments showed strong sales results for the year: Full-size utility
sales grew eight percent, mid-utilities rose two percent and small utility sales
climbed 20 percent.  Full-size van sales also performed  well, with sales rising
seven percent for the year.

      Total  vehicle  sales for the year dipped one percent to 4,953,163  units,
car sales  decreased  two  percent  to  2,531,734  units and  truck  sales  were
comparable  at 2,421,429  units.  GM fortified its focus on sales of vehicles in
key* car and truck segments in 2000 and increased sales 2% for the year.

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 judgement on what the
future may hold, and we believe these judgements 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.

December vehicle sales in a Form 8-K:

ITEM 5.  OTHER ITEMS

     GM December Vehicle Sales Off 18%; Industry Sales Continue to Moderate
                    -     December Car Sales Down 15%
                    -     December Truck Sales Down 20%
                    -     CY Utility Sales Up 6%

      DETROIT -- General  Motors  dealers  sold  337,972  new cars and trucks in
December, down 18 percent from last year. GM truck sales decreased 20 percent to
176,364  units from  December  1999 and car sales were off 15 percent to 161,608
units.  GM's December  results  reflect in part the moderation that the industry
has shown in recent  months and an easing from last year's  blistering  December
sales pace of 18 million units.

      "The  industry  moderation  we've seen in the  second  half of 2000 is not
surprising  although  demand was softer than  expected in  December,"  said Bill
Lovejoy,  group vice  president  of North  America  Vehicle  Sales,  Service and
Marketing. "In today's challenging market, the keys to success remain in quality
products that appeal to consumers.  With innovative new products in 2001 such as
our new  mid-utilities,  heavy-duty  diesel  pickups  and  Chevrolet  Avalanche,
dealers  will be in a stronger  position to  aggressively  compete in this tough
market environment."

2000 Calendar-year Performance
-------------------------------

      GM dealers continued to post strong truck sales in the 2000 calendar year.
Consumers  bought six percent  more GM utilities in 2000 than the prior year and
all utility segments showed strong sales results for the year: Full-size utility
sales grew eight percent, mid-utilities rose two percent and small utility sales
climbed 20 percent.  Full-size van sales also performed  well, with sales rising
seven percent for the year.

      Total  vehicle  sales for the year dipped one percent to 4,953,163  units,
car sales  decreased  two  percent  to  2,531,734  units and  truck  sales  were
comparable  at 2,421,429  units.  GM fortified its focus on sales of vehicles in
key* car and truck segments in 2000 and increased sales 2% for the year.

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 judgement on what the
future may hold, and we believe these judgements 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.
