ITEM 8.01.  OTHER EVENTS

On May 3, 2005, General Motors Corporation (GM) issued a news release announcing
April 2005 sales. The release is as follows:

GM Reports 385,939 Deliveries in April

Cadillac Sales Up 19 Percent; Led by Best-Ever STS Sales and Record CTS Sales

Pontiac G6, Chevrolet Cobalt and Buick LaCrosse Again Post Best Sales

GM Combined Launch Car Deliveries Up 9.5 Percent Compared to Year-Ago Levels

DETROIT - General Motors dealers sold 385,939 new cars and trucks in April.
Overall, GM sales were down 7 percent on a selling days adjusted basis. GM's
truck sales (215,321) were down 17 percent, due in part to a difficult year-ago
comparison when GM set an industry sales record. Car sales (170,618) were up 7.5
percent, paced by solid sales of key launch vehicles.

"We are pleased with the momentum and enthusiasm for our new models," said Mark
LaNeve, vice president, GM North America Vehicle Sales, Service and Marketing.
"High volume sedans such as the Pontiac G6, Chevrolet Cobalt and Buick LaCrosse
are vital to our success in the marketplace. We are beginning to show
significant year-over-year gains with our launch cars compared to the models
they replaced. Of note, Cobalt achieved a new sales benchmark with nearly 23,000
deliveries this month. Also, our newest trucks, Chevrolet Equinox and Colorado
and GMC Canyon all posted record sales in April."

Cadillac delivered strong sales results in April, achieving a 19 percent
increase over year-ago levels. The improvement was driven by a 45 percent
increase in car sales. STS, Cadillac's latest entry into the luxury car segment,
recorded its third consecutive month of sales increases, with a 20 percent
improvement over March. The exceptional sales performance of CTS continues well
into its fourth year on the market, with April sales 26 percent greater than
last year, establishing a new monthly record.

Chevrolet car sales increased 20 percent in April, driven by the new Cobalt,
which had its best-ever monthly sales. Cobalt deliveries jumped an impressive 59
percent compared to March levels, which was its previous high. Economy
segment-leading Aveo also contributed to the increase in Chevrolet car sales,
achieving record monthly sales that were up 43 percent compared to year-ago
levels. On the truck side, Equinox sales were up 76 percent, surpassing the
10,000 unit-sales mark for the sixth time in the last eight months. Colorado
achieved record sales in April, with deliveries that were 17 percent above
year-ago levels. Chevrolet's product barrage continues throughout 2005 with
launches scheduled for the Cobalt SS coupe and Cobalt SS sedan, HHR, and the new
Impala and Monte Carlo.

Pontiac G6 sales continued to strengthen, with its best monthly sales to date.
Deliveries were 23 percent greater than March levels. Sales of the G6 are
expected to continue to grow with the scheduled addition of a coupe and a
4-cylinder sedan this summer and a retractable hardtop convertible anticipated
in early 2006. Solstice, Pontiac's exciting new roadster is scheduled to begin
production this summer. Canyon, GMC's new entry in the mid-size pickup segment
also posted record deliveries, up 41 percent compared to last year.

Sales of Buick's new midsize car, LaCrosse, continue to gain traction. LaCrosse
had its best-ever monthly sales, with deliveries 5 percent higher than March
levels. LaCrosse retail sales for the third consecutive month outpaced year-ago
combined Century and Regal retail sales achieving a noteworthy 74 percent
improvement. Lucerne, Buick's new entry-luxury sedan, is scheduled to arrive in
dealers' showrooms later this year.

Certified Used Vehicles

April sales for all GM certified used vehicle brands, including GM Certified
Used Vehicles, Cadillac Certified Pre-Owned, Used Cars from Saturn and Saab
Certified Pre-Owned, were 43,803 units, up 7 percent over last April. Total
year-to-date certified GM sales are 176,400 units, up 3 percent.

GM Certified Used Vehicles, the industry's top-selling manufacturer-certified
used brand, posted robust sales of 36,997 units, up 8 percent from April 2004.
Year-to-date sales for GM Certified Used Vehicles are 150,410, up 5 percent.

Cadillac Certified Pre-Owned Vehicles posted sales of 3,312 units, up 16
percent. Used Cars from Saturn sold 2,604 units, down 19 percent. Saab Certified
Pre-Owned Vehicles sold 890 units, up 22 percent.

<PAGE>


"Coming off a very strong first quarter, GM Certified Used Vehicles, the number
one selling certified brand, maintained the momentum in April, with sales
increasing 8 percent over last year and year-to-date sales up 5 percent," LaNeve
said. "GM Certified continues to set the pace for the certified pre-owned
category, and we expect sales to remain strong throughout the year."

Note: GM sales and production results are available on GM Media OnLine at

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.

ITEM 8.01.  OTHER EVENTS

On May 3, 2005, General Motors Corporation (GM) issued a news release announcing
April 2005 sales. The release is as follows:

GM Reports 385,939 Deliveries in April

Cadillac Sales Up 19 Percent; Led by Best-Ever STS Sales and Record CTS Sales

Pontiac G6, Chevrolet Cobalt and Buick LaCrosse Again Post Best Sales

GM Combined Launch Car Deliveries Up 9.5 Percent Compared to Year-Ago Levels

DETROIT - General Motors dealers sold 385,939 new cars and trucks in April.
Overall, GM sales were down 7 percent on a selling days adjusted basis. GM's
truck sales (215,321) were down 17 percent, due in part to a difficult year-ago
comparison when GM set an industry sales record. Car sales (170,618) were up 7.5
percent, paced by solid sales of key launch vehicles.

"We are pleased with the momentum and enthusiasm for our new models," said Mark
LaNeve, vice president, GM North America Vehicle Sales, Service and Marketing.
"High volume sedans such as the Pontiac G6, Chevrolet Cobalt and Buick LaCrosse
are vital to our success in the marketplace. We are beginning to show
significant year-over-year gains with our launch cars compared to the models
they replaced. Of note, Cobalt achieved a new sales benchmark with nearly 23,000
deliveries this month. Also, our newest trucks, Chevrolet Equinox and Colorado
and GMC Canyon all posted record sales in April."

Cadillac delivered strong sales results in April, achieving a 19 percent
increase over year-ago levels. The improvement was driven by a 45 percent
increase in car sales. STS, Cadillac's latest entry into the luxury car segment,
recorded its third consecutive month of sales increases, with a 20 percent
improvement over March. The exceptional sales performance of CTS continues well
into its fourth year on the market, with April sales 26 percent greater than
last year, establishing a new monthly record.

Chevrolet car sales increased 20 percent in April, driven by the new Cobalt,
which had its best-ever monthly sales. Cobalt deliveries jumped an impressive 59
percent compared to March levels, which was its previous high. Economy
segment-leading Aveo also contributed to the increase in Chevrolet car sales,
achieving record monthly sales that were up 43 percent compared to year-ago
levels. On the truck side, Equinox sales were up 76 percent, surpassing the
10,000 unit-sales mark for the sixth time in the last eight months. Colorado
achieved record sales in April, with deliveries that were 17 percent above
year-ago levels. Chevrolet's product barrage continues throughout 2005 with
launches scheduled for the Cobalt SS coupe and Cobalt SS sedan, HHR, and the new
Impala and Monte Carlo.

Pontiac G6 sales continued to strengthen, with its best monthly sales to date.
Deliveries were 23 percent greater than March levels. Sales of the G6 are
expected to continue to grow with the scheduled addition of a coupe and a
4-cylinder sedan this summer and a retractable hardtop convertible anticipated
in early 2006. Solstice, Pontiac's exciting new roadster is scheduled to begin
production this summer. Canyon, GMC's new entry in the mid-size pickup segment
also posted record deliveries, up 41 percent compared to last year.

Sales of Buick's new midsize car, LaCrosse, continue to gain traction. LaCrosse
had its best-ever monthly sales, with deliveries 5 percent higher than March
levels. LaCrosse retail sales for the third consecutive month outpaced year-ago
combined Century and Regal retail sales achieving a noteworthy 74 percent
improvement. Lucerne, Buick's new entry-luxury sedan, is scheduled to arrive in
dealers' showrooms later this year.

Certified Used Vehicles

April sales for all GM certified used vehicle brands, including GM Certified
Used Vehicles, Cadillac Certified Pre-Owned, Used Cars from Saturn and Saab
Certified Pre-Owned, were 43,803 units, up 7 percent over last April. Total
year-to-date certified GM sales are 176,400 units, up 3 percent.

GM Certified Used Vehicles, the industry's top-selling manufacturer-certified
used brand, posted robust sales of 36,997 units, up 8 percent from April 2004.
Year-to-date sales for GM Certified Used Vehicles are 150,410, up 5 percent.

Cadillac Certified Pre-Owned Vehicles posted sales of 3,312 units, up 16
percent. Used Cars from Saturn sold 2,604 units, down 19 percent. Saab Certified
Pre-Owned Vehicles sold 890 units, up 22 percent.
"Coming off a very strong first quarter, GM Certified Used Vehicles, the number
one selling certified brand, maintained the momentum in April, with sales
increasing 8 percent over last year and year-to-date sales up 5 percent," LaNeve
said. "GM Certified continues to set the pace for the certified pre-owned
category, and we expect sales to remain strong throughout the year."

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.
