ITEM 5.  OTHER ITEMS

On June 1, 2001, General Motors Corporation (GM) issued a news release
announcing May production results and revision of second quarter forecast. The
release is as follows:

         GM May Sales Up 1%; Industry on Pace for Third-Best Sales Year
                  -  Best Month Ever for GM Truck Sales -- Up 10%
                  -  Car Sales Down 9%

      GM Announces May Production Results; Second Quarter Forecast Revised

     DETROIT -- General Motors dealers sold 459,050 new cars and trucks in April
in the United States, up one percent from May 2000. A 10 percent increase in
truck sales bolstered the GM lineup in May with exceptionally strong pickup and
utility sales. GM car sales decreased nine percent.

     "We're very encouraged that demand remains healthy and the industry is on
pace for its third-best year in history," said Bill Lovejoy, group vice
president of North America Vehicle Sales, Service and Marketing. "Our strong
sales results in May were driven by outstanding dealer efforts and consumer
demand for GM products, especially our industry-leading lineup of truck brands.
GM buyers are the real winners in today's marketplace with our improving product
quality and innovative new products."

GM Truck Sales Highlights
-------------------------
     GM's strongest results in May came from full-size truck sales (pickups and
utilities), which in total climbed 24 percent. With Silverado posting its best
month since October 1978, GM's full-size pickup sales rose 17 percent, full-size
utility sales rose 38 percent, and all eight individual GM brands in those
segments posted double-digit sales gains. Notably, all GM full-size utilities
posted double-digit May sales increases in excess of 20 percent.

     GM expects to continue its strong truck sales performance as several new
and innovative entries increase in availability, including the Chevrolet
TrailBlazer, GMC Envoy, Oldsmobile Bravada, Buick Rendezvous, Chevrolet
Avalanche and Cadillac Escalade.

GM Car Sales Highlights
-----------------------
     Saturn posted a significant 26 percent total increase in car sales with
L-Series sales up 31 percent and S-Series sales up 23 percent.

     Chevrolet midsize car brands Impala and Malibu performed briskly with sales
up five percent and 19 percent, respectively.

     The Chevrolet Impala, Malibu and Cavalier all rank on the top-10 list of
best-selling cars in America, making Chevrolet the only brand in the auto
industry with three top-10 best sellers.

GM Announces May Production Totals, 2nd and 3rd Quarter 2001 Estimates
----------------------------------------------------------------------
     In May, GM produced 492,000 vehicles (229,000 cars and 263,000 trucks) in
North America, down from 548,000 vehicles (276,000 cars and 272,000 trucks)
produced in May 2000. (Production totals include joint venture production of
11,000 vehicles in May 2001 and 13,000 vehicles in May 2000.)

     GM announced its second-quarter North American production estimate is 1.349
million vehicles (629,000 cars and 720,000 trucks) in the second quarter, an
increase from the previous estimate of 1.332 million vehicles (618,000 cars and
714,000 trucks). The latest second-quarter estimate represents a 14 percent
decline from the 1.568 million vehicles (787,000 cars and 781,000 trucks) GM
produced in the second quarter of 2000.

     Additionally, GM announced that third-quarter production is estimated at
1.235 million vehicles (572,000 cars and 663,000 trucks), a 6.4 percent decline
from the 1.319 million vehicles (689,000 cars and 630,000 trucks) GM produced in
the third quarter of 2000.

     The increase in production for the second quarter reflects stronger demand
for GM products than anticipated as well as continued appropriate management of
inventories. Despite the ongoing heavy overall pricing pressures, GM believes
that the current analysts' estimate for second-quarter earnings of about $1.05
per share is reasonable. The company also affirmed its previously stated outlook
for the calendar year of $4.25 per share.

     Additionally, GM announced the following second- and third-quarter 2001
production estimates for its international regions:

     -  GM Europe - The second-quarter estimate is 494,000 vehicles, down from
        the previous estimate of 504,000. The third-quarter estimate is 386,000
        vehicles.

     -  GM Asia Pacific - The second-quarter estimate is unchanged at 65,000
        vehicles. The third-quarter estimate is 79,000 vehicles.

     -  GM Latin America, Africa and the Middle East - The second quarter
        estimate is 170,000 vehicles, up from the previous estimate of 169,000.
        The third-quarter estimate is 174,000 vehicles.

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 June 1, 2001, General Motors Corporation (GM) issued a news release
announcing May production results and revision of second quarter forecast. The
release is as follows:

         GM May Sales Up 1%; Industry on Pace for Third-Best Sales Year
                  -  Best Month Ever for GM Truck Sales -- Up 10%
                  -  Car Sales Down 9%

      GM Announces May Production Results; Second Quarter Forecast Revised

     DETROIT -- General Motors dealers sold 459,050 new cars and trucks in April
in the United States, up one percent from May 2000. A 10 percent increase in
truck sales bolstered the GM lineup in May with exceptionally strong pickup and
utility sales. GM car sales decreased nine percent.

     "We're very encouraged that demand remains healthy and the industry is on
pace for its third-best year in history," said Bill Lovejoy, group vice
president of North America Vehicle Sales, Service and Marketing. "Our strong
sales results in May were driven by outstanding dealer efforts and consumer
demand for GM products, especially our industry-leading lineup of truck brands.
GM buyers are the real winners in today's marketplace with our improving product
quality and innovative new products."

GM Truck Sales Highlights
-------------------------
     GM's strongest results in May came from full-size truck sales (pickups and
utilities), which in total climbed 24 percent. With Silverado posting its best
month since October 1978, GM's full-size pickup sales rose 17 percent, full-size
utility sales rose 38 percent, and all eight individual GM brands in those
segments posted double-digit sales gains. Notably, all GM full-size utilities
posted double-digit May sales increases in excess of 20 percent.

     GM expects to continue its strong truck sales performance as several new
and innovative entries increase in availability, including the Chevrolet
TrailBlazer, GMC Envoy, Oldsmobile Bravada, Buick Rendezvous, Chevrolet
Avalanche and Cadillac Escalade.

GM Car Sales Highlights
-----------------------
     Saturn posted a significant 26 percent total increase in car sales with
L-Series sales up 31 percent and S-Series sales up 23 percent.

     Chevrolet midsize car brands Impala and Malibu performed briskly with sales
up five percent and 19 percent, respectively.

     The Chevrolet Impala, Malibu and Cavalier all rank on the top-10 list of
best-selling cars in America, making Chevrolet the only brand in the auto
industry with three top-10 best sellers.

GM Announces May Production Totals, 2nd and 3rd Quarter 2001 Estimates
----------------------------------------------------------------------
     In May, GM produced 492,000 vehicles (229,000 cars and 263,000 trucks) in
North America, down from 548,000 vehicles (276,000 cars and 272,000 trucks)
produced in May 2000. (Production totals include joint venture production of
11,000 vehicles in May 2001 and 13,000 vehicles in May 2000.)

     GM announced its second-quarter North American production estimate is 1.349
million vehicles (629,000 cars and 720,000 trucks) in the second quarter, an
increase from the previous estimate of 1.332 million vehicles (618,000 cars and
714,000 trucks). The latest second-quarter estimate represents a 14 percent
decline from the 1.568 million vehicles (787,000 cars and 781,000 trucks) GM
produced in the second quarter of 2000.

     Additionally, GM announced that third-quarter production is estimated at
1.235 million vehicles (572,000 cars and 663,000 trucks), a 6.4 percent decline
from the 1.319 million vehicles (689,000 cars and 630,000 trucks) GM produced in
the third quarter of 2000.

     The increase in production for the second quarter reflects stronger demand
for GM products than anticipated as well as continued appropriate management of
inventories. Despite the ongoing heavy overall pricing pressures, GM believes
that the current analysts' estimate for second-quarter earnings of about $1.05
per share is reasonable. The company also affirmed its previously stated outlook
for the calendar year of $4.25 per share.

     Additionally, GM announced the following second- and third-quarter 2001
production estimates for its international regions:

     -  GM Europe - The second-quarter estimate is 494,000 vehicles, down from
        the previous estimate of 504,000. The third-quarter estimate is 386,000
        vehicles.

     -  GM Asia Pacific - The second-quarter estimate is unchanged at 65,000
        vehicles. The third-quarter estimate is 79,000 vehicles.

     -  GM Latin America, Africa and the Middle East - The second quarter
        estimate is 170,000 vehicles, up from the previous estimate of 169,000.
        The third-quarter estimate is 174,000 vehicles.

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.
