ITEM 5. OTHER EVENTS

On May 4, 2004, General Motors Corporation (GM) issued a news release announcing
April 2004 sales. The release is as follows:

GM Reports April Sales of 401,451, Up Slightly
"Truckfest" Drives Industry Sales Records for GM Trucks and Utilities
New Chevrolet Equinox and Colorado Models Off to Fast Start

DETROIT - General Motors dealers sold 401,451 new cars and trucks in April, up
slightly (+0.2 percent) compared to April 2003. GM's truck sales (248,555) were
up 1.5 percent and car sales (152,896) were down 2 percent.

"GM's sales in April are up slightly compared to year-ago results," said John
Smith, group vice president, GM North America Vehicle Sales, Service and
Marketing. "Truckfest delivered solid results in key categories, including new
industry records for total truck sales and utility sales, and we will continue
this program in May. We have work to do on the car side of our business, but
with upcoming new entries like the Pontiac G6, Buick LaCrosse and Cadillac STS
and an improving economy, we expect to see continued growth for both the
industry and GM."

GM Truck Sales

GM's industry-leading truck sales established a new industry record in April
with a 1.5 percent increase compared to last year. Both Cadillac and Chevrolet

deliveries were down 4 percent, compared to record year-ago sales, yet led the
industry and reached nearly 88,000 units (87,261).

deliveries, a 6 percent increase and another industry record. GM remains the
only manufacturer to sell over 100,000 utilities in a month. Small utilities set
the pace, with 18,718 deliveries, a 100 percent improvement over last year.
Saturn Vue sales (10,671) were up 59 percent, and Chevrolet Equinox sales
continued to gain momentum with 6,500 deliveries in April. Mid-size utility

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 5. OTHER EVENTS

On May 4, 2004, General Motors Corporation (GM) issued a news release announcing
April 2004 sales. The release is as follows:

GM Reports April Sales of 401,451, Up Slightly
"Truckfest" Drives Industry Sales Records for GM Trucks and Utilities
New Chevrolet Equinox and Colorado Models Off to Fast Start

DETROIT - General Motors dealers sold 401,451 new cars and trucks in April, up
slightly (+0.2 percent) compared to April 2003. GM's truck sales (248,555) were
up 1.5 percent and car sales (152,896) were down 2 percent.

"GM's sales in April are up slightly compared to year-ago results," said John
Smith, group vice president, GM North America Vehicle Sales, Service and
Marketing. "Truckfest delivered solid results in key categories, including new
industry records for total truck sales and utility sales, and we will continue
this program in May. We have work to do on the car side of our business, but
with upcoming new entries like the Pontiac G6, Buick LaCrosse and Cadillac STS
and an improving economy, we expect to see continued growth for both the
industry and GM."

GM Truck Sales

GM's industry-leading truck sales established a new industry record in April
with a 1.5 percent increase compared to last year. Both Cadillac and Chevrolet
set April sales records for trucks. Chevrolet had 164,893 truck deliveries, up 1
percent. Cadillac truck sales (6,649) improved 30 percent. Full-size pickup
deliveries were down 4 percent, compared to record year-ago sales, yet led the
industry and reached nearly 88,000 units (87,261).

Sport utility vehicle sales again surpassed the 100,000-unit mark with 109,072
deliveries, a 6 percent increase and another industry record. GM remains the
only manufacturer to sell over 100,000 utilities in a month. Small utilities set
the pace, with 18,718 deliveries, a 100 percent improvement over last year.
Saturn Vue sales (10,671) were up 59 percent, and Chevrolet Equinox sales
continued to gain momentum with 6,500 deliveries in April. Mid-size utility
sales (45,447) were up 4 percent, led by Chevrolet TrailBlazer (19,542), up 2
percent, and GMC Envoy (10,306), with a sales increase of 8 percent.

GM Car Sales

GM's car sales declined 2 percent compared to last April. Mid-size car sales
were up 3 percent, paced by Pontiac Grand Prix (up 35 percent) and Grand Am (up
40 percent). In the entry-level segment, Pontiac Vibe sales were up 7 percent.
Among GM's launch vehicles, Aveo had its best sales month to-date (3,900), 12
percent above March.

Divisional Highlights

Chevrolet - The recently-launched Equinox continued to gain sales strength with

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.
