   GM Announces November Monthly Production, Estimates for 4th Quarter 2000
                              and 1st Quarter 2001


      DETROIT -- General Motors Corp.  today announced its November 2000 monthly
production  totaled  459,000  vehicles  (229,000 cars and 230,000 trucks) in the
United States, Canada and Mexico.

      In November 1999, GM produced 493,000  vehicles  (267,000 cars and 226,000
trucks) in North America.

      In addition, the North American  fourth-quarter  estimate was decreased to
1,373,000 vehicles (676,000 cars and 697,000 trucks) from last month's 1,378,000
vehicles (674,000 cars and 704,000 trucks).

      For the first  quarter of 2001,  GM estimates  it will  produce  1,301,000
vehicles  (635,000  cars and  666,000  trucks)  in North  America.  In the first
quarter of 2000,  GM  produced  1,521,000  vehicles  (746,000  cars and  775,000
trucks).

      Additionally,  GM estimates  2000  fourth-quarter  and 2001  first-quarter
production for its international regions to come in at:

      -  GM  Europe - 519,000  vehicles  in the  fourth  quarter  of 2000,  from
         530,000  in the  fourth  quarter  of 1999.  The first  quarter  of 2001
         estimate is  574,000;  production  was 572,000 in the first  quarter of
         2000.
      -  GM Asia Pacific - 73,000  vehicles in the fourth quarter of 2000,  from
         47,000  in the  fourth  quarter  of 1999.  The  first  quarter  of 2001
         estimate is 61,000; production was 40,000 in the first quarter of 2000.
      -  GM Latin America,  Africa and the Middle East - 138,000 vehicles in the
         fourth quarter of 2000,  from 97,000 in the fourth quarter of 1999. The
         first  quarter of 2001 estimate is 130,000;  production  was 118,000 in
         the first quarter of 2000.



      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.

final assembly.  1999 and 2000 data has been adjusted to reflect this
reclassification.

ITEM 5.  OTHER ITEMS

   GM Announces November Monthly Production, Estimates for 4th Quarter 2000
                              and 1st Quarter 2001

      DETROIT -- General Motors Corp.  today announced its November 2000 monthly
production  totaled  459,000  vehicles  (229,000 cars and 230,000 trucks) in the
United States, Canada and Mexico.

      In November 1999, GM produced 493,000  vehicles  (267,000 cars and 226,000
trucks) in North America.

      In addition, the North American  fourth-quarter  estimate was decreased to
1,373,000 vehicles (676,000 cars and 697,000 trucks) from last month's 1,378,000
vehicles (674,000 cars and 704,000 trucks).

      For the first  quarter of 2001,  GM estimates  it will  produce  1,301,000
vehicles  (635,000  cars and  666,000  trucks)  in North  America.  In the first
quarter of 2000,  GM  produced  1,521,000  vehicles  (746,000  cars and  775,000
trucks).

      Additionally,  GM estimates  2000  fourth-quarter  and 2001  first-quarter
production for its international regions to come in at:

      -  GM  Europe - 519,000  vehicles  in the  fourth  quarter  of 2000,  from
         530,000  in the  fourth  quarter  of 1999.  The first  quarter  of 2001
         estimate is  574,000;  production  was 572,000 in the first  quarter of
         2000.
      -  GM Asia Pacific - 73,000  vehicles in the fourth quarter of 2000,  from
         47,000  in the  fourth  quarter  of 1999.  The  first  quarter  of 2001
         estimate is 61,000; production was 40,000 in the first quarter of 2000.
      -  GM Latin America,  Africa and the Middle East - 138,000 vehicles in the
         fourth quarter of 2000,  from 97,000 in the fourth quarter of 1999. The
         first  quarter of 2001 estimate is 130,000;  production  was 118,000 in
         the first quarter of 2000.

      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.

Note:  Beginning with Q1 2001, a reclassification has been made in the
International regions to count vehicles as production in the region of
final assembly.  1999 and 2000 data has been adjusted to reflect this
reclassification.
