                    GM's 'Industry Leading Truck Lineup' Sets
                       Calendar Year Industry Sales Record

            - GM Sets Industry Calendar Year SUV Record
            - Best Calendar Year Full-Size Pickup sales since 1978
            - December Total Sales Up Seven Percent; Retail Up 15 percent

                  GM Announces December, Fourth-Quarter, 2001 Production;
                        Reaffirms First-Quarter Schedule

      DETROIT -- General Motors dealers sold 362,169 new cars and trucks in
December in the United States. GM total sales were up seven percent for the
month with a 15 percent retail increase. Buoyed by exceptional retail sales
performance and an improved vehicle mix, GM's industry leading lineup of trucks
broke the industry calendar year record for truck sales.

      "Several years ago, GM committed to regaining truck leadership, and in
2001 we accomplished this important goal, setting a new industry benchmark for
truck sales," said Bill Lovejoy, group vice president of North America Vehicle
Sales, Service and Marketing. "We not only set an industry record for overall
truck and SUV sales, but we had the best industry full-size pickup sales since
1978, which gives us great momentum going into 2002."

      Lovejoy continued, "Despite some moderation in the industry, GM's retail
volume will be up for the second consecutive year and our inventories are in
terrific shape for 2002. This is an accomplishment we could not have achieved
without the exceptional performance of our entire GM organization and the
outstanding sales efforts of our dealers."

GM Truck Sales Highlights
-------------------------

      GM achieved truck leadership with 2,631,535 sales in 2001, giving GM the
best industry truck sales ever. For December, GM's industry-leading truck lineup
maintained its exceptional sales pace, with deliveries up 31 percent.

      Robust sport utility vehicle (SUV) sales for the year (1,019,228 units)
resulted in GM shattering the all-time industry SUV sales record -- and GM
became the first manufacturer to sell more than one million SUVs in a calendar
year. GM's full-size utilities (93,280 units - up 28 percent over last year)
dominated the industry once again in December. The Chevrolet Tahoe and Suburban,
GMC Yukon, Yukon XL as well as the all-new Cadillac Escalade (537,193 units --
up 29 percent for the calendar year) gave GM the all-time industry record for
full-size utilities, breaking the record for the fifth consecutive year.

      GM's all-new midsize SUVs, the Chevrolet TrailBlazer, GMC Envoy,
Oldsmobile Bravada and Buick Rendezvous again made major contributions to an
all-time GM record for midsize utility sales (429,274 units -- up 23 percent).
GM also led the industry in full-size pickup sales for the first time since 1994
with sales of 979,706 -- up 18 percent over last year, and had the best
full-size pickup sales of any manufacturer since 1978.

GM Car Sales Highlights
-----------------------

      For 2001, GM car deliveries were down 10 percent, and down 19 percent for
December. Passenger car sales were negatively impacted by the industry decline
in daily rentals. Chevrolet Impala, Malibu and Cavalier, as well as the Pontiac
Grand Am remained in the top-10 best selling cars for the year. GM is the only
manufacturer with four vehicles in the top ten.


      Building on the strength of the industry leading truck lineup, GM is
expecting to build momentum in the luxury and entry level markets with all-new
vehicles. Cadillac CTS and Escalade EXT, Saturn Vue and Pontiac Vibe are all
coming to market within the next few months.

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.

ITEM 5.  OTHER ITEMS

On January 3, 2002, General Motors Corporation (GM) issued a news release
announcing December, fourth-quarter, 2001 production and reaffirms first-
quarter schedule. The release is as follows:

                    GM's 'Industry Leading Truck Lineup' Sets
                       Calendar Year Industry Sales Record

            - GM Sets Industry Calendar Year SUV Record
            - Best Calendar Year Full-Size Pickup sales since 1978
            - December Total Sales Up Seven Percent; Retail Up 15 percent

                  GM Announces December, Fourth-Quarter, 2001 Production;
                        Reaffirms First-Quarter Schedule

      DETROIT -- General Motors dealers sold 362,169 new cars and trucks in
December in the United States. GM total sales were up seven percent for the
month with a 15 percent retail increase. Buoyed by exceptional retail sales
performance and an improved vehicle mix, GM's industry leading lineup of trucks
broke the industry calendar year record for truck sales.

      "Several years ago, GM committed to regaining truck leadership, and in
2001 we accomplished this important goal, setting a new industry benchmark for
truck sales," said Bill Lovejoy, group vice president of North America Vehicle
Sales, Service and Marketing. "We not only set an industry record for overall
truck and SUV sales, but we had the best industry full-size pickup sales since
1978, which gives us great momentum going into 2002."

      Lovejoy continued, "Despite some moderation in the industry, GM's retail
volume will be up for the second consecutive year and our inventories are in
terrific shape for 2002. This is an accomplishment we could not have achieved
without the exceptional performance of our entire GM organization and the
outstanding sales efforts of our dealers."

      GM achieved truck leadership with 2,631,535 sales in 2001, giving GM the
best industry truck sales ever. For December, GM's industry-leading truck lineup
maintained its exceptional sales pace, with deliveries up 31 percent.

      Robust sport utility vehicle (SUV) sales for the year (1,019,228 units)
resulted in GM shattering the all-time industry SUV sales record -- and GM
became the first manufacturer to sell more than one million SUVs in a calendar
year. GM's full-size utilities (93,280 units - up 28 percent over last year)
dominated the industry once again in December. The Chevrolet Tahoe and Suburban,
GMC Yukon, Yukon XL as well as the all-new Cadillac Escalade (537,193 units --
up 29 percent for the calendar year) gave GM the all-time industry record for
full-size utilities, breaking the record for the fifth consecutive year.

      GM's all-new midsize SUVs, the Chevrolet TrailBlazer, GMC Envoy,
Oldsmobile Bravada and Buick Rendezvous again made major contributions to an
all-time GM record for midsize utility sales (429,274 units -- up 23 percent).
GM also led the industry in full-size pickup sales for the first time since 1994
with sales of 979,706 -- up 18 percent over last year, and had the best
full-size pickup sales of any manufacturer since 1978.

GM Car Sales Highlights
-----------------------

      For 2001, GM car deliveries were down 10 percent, and down 19 percent for
December. Passenger car sales were negatively impacted by the industry decline
in daily rentals. Chevrolet Impala, Malibu and Cavalier, as well as the Pontiac
Grand Am remained in the top-10 best selling cars for the year. GM is the only
manufacturer with four vehicles in the top ten.

      Building on the strength of the industry leading truck lineup, GM is
expecting to build momentum in the luxury and entry level markets with all-new
vehicles. Cadillac CTS and Escalade EXT, Saturn Vue and Pontiac Vibe are all
coming to market within the next few months.

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.
