ITEM 5.  OTHER ITEMS

On January 3, 2003, General Motors Corporation (GM) issued a news release
announcing best December sales since 1979. The release is as follows:

GM Reports Best December Sales Since 1979

GM sales up 36 percent to 473,663 - Widening GM's Calendar Year Sales Leadership

Truck Sales Set All-Time Industry Record - Up 6 Percent For The Year

GM Gains Market Share For Second Consecutive Year, First Time Since 1976

      DETROIT - General Motors Corp. dealers sold 473,663 new cars and trucks in
December in the United States, a 36 percent increase versus December 2001. For
the calendar year, GM dealers delivered 4,858,705 new vehicles, down a modest 1
percent from 2001. GM's overall truck sales (2,789,500) and overall SUV sales
(1,239,074) set all-time industry records.

      "Our December results were outstanding, as was our overall performance for
the calendar year," said John Smith, group vice president of North America
Vehicle Sales, Service and Marketing. "GM had an excellent year in 2002 on all
fronts...exciting new products, quality and productivity improvements -- all
leading to market share gains and an increased customer base. We set all-time
industry records for truck and SUV sales, and we continued the strong sales pace
we have established with our new vehicle introductions for Cadillac, Saturn and
HUMMER."

      GM truck performance was led by calendar year sales records for Chevrolet
trucks, GMC trucks, Cadillac trucks and HUMMER. Cadillac sales improved 16
percent for the year on the strength of the CTS, Escalade and Escalade EXT.
Saturn increased 7 percent in large part due to the VUE, which continues to gain
momentum in the small utility segment. The HUMMER H2 is one of the hottest
selling vehicles in the country and recently won the Detroit News 'Truck of the
Year' award.

GM Truck Sales

      For December, GM truck sales (301,528) were up 36 percent. December
utility vehicle sales were an all-time monthly record for GM (139,749) and were
up 56 percent as GM became the first manufacturer ever to top 1.2 million SUV
sales in a calendar year. GM's midsize utility sales for the month were 57,967,
an increase of 50 percent. GM's December sales of full-size utility vehicles
(69,630 units) were up 47 percent from year-ago levels. GM also posted strong
full-size pickup sales in December (108,226), an increase of 21 percent.

GM Car Sales

      For December, GM had very strong car sales (172,135), increasing 37
percent overall. The Buick LeSabre (up 105 percent), the new Saab 9-3 (up 88
percent), Chevrolet Corvette (up 80 percent), Chevrolet Malibu (up 74 percent),
Chevrolet Impala (up 50 percent), and the Cadillac Deville (up 24 percent) all
had substantial gains over last December. The new Cadillac CTS posted another
healthy sales month of 4,623 units and the new Pontiac Vibe had another solid
month, selling 5,003 units.

Certified Used Cars

      GM's industry-leading certified used car program sold approximately 30,149
total certified used vehicles in December, including the Cadillac, Saturn and
Saab certified brands. The GM Certified Used Vehicle brand posted strong sales
once again, selling 24,559 units. "For the year, we achieved more than 385,000
sales, a phenomenal effort by GM dealers, GMAC and the entire VSSM
organization," Smith said. "Certified used vehicle sales exceeded our
expectations and we expect to continue strong growth in 2003."

GM Announces December and Fourth Quarter Production Results, First-Quarter 2003

      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-15, 16) 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, 2003, General Motors Corporation (GM) issued a news release
announcing best December sales since 1979. The release is as follows:

GM Reports Best December Sales Since 1979

GM sales up 36 percent to 473,663 - Widening GM's Calendar Year Sales Leadership

Truck Sales Set All-Time Industry Record - Up 6 Percent For The Year

GM Gains Market Share For Second Consecutive Year, First Time Since 1976

      DETROIT - General Motors Corp. dealers sold 473,663 new cars and trucks in
December in the United States, a 36 percent increase versus December 2001. For
the calendar year, GM dealers delivered 4,858,705 new vehicles, down a modest 1
percent from 2001. GM's overall truck sales (2,789,500) and overall SUV sales
(1,239,074) set all-time industry records.

      "Our December results were outstanding, as was our overall performance for
the calendar year," said John Smith, group vice president of North America
Vehicle Sales, Service and Marketing. "GM had an excellent year in 2002 on all
fronts...exciting new products, quality and productivity improvements -- all
leading to market share gains and an increased customer base. We set all-time
industry records for truck and SUV sales, and we continued the strong sales pace
we have established with our new vehicle introductions for Cadillac, Saturn and
HUMMER."

      GM truck performance was led by calendar year sales records for Chevrolet
trucks, GMC trucks, Cadillac trucks and HUMMER. Cadillac sales improved 16
percent for the year on the strength of the CTS, Escalade and Escalade EXT.
Saturn increased 7 percent in large part due to the VUE, which continues to gain
momentum in the small utility segment. The HUMMER H2 is one of the hottest
selling vehicles in the country and recently won the Detroit News 'Truck of the
Year' award.

GM Truck Sales

      For December, GM truck sales (301,528) were up 36 percent. December
utility vehicle sales were an all-time monthly record for GM (139,749) and were
up 56 percent as GM became the first manufacturer ever to top 1.2 million SUV
sales in a calendar year. GM's midsize utility sales for the month were 57,967,
an increase of 50 percent. GM's December sales of full-size utility vehicles
(69,630 units) were up 47 percent from year-ago levels. GM also posted strong
full-size pickup sales in December (108,226), an increase of 21 percent.

GM Car Sales

      For December, GM had very strong car sales (172,135), increasing 37
percent overall. The Buick LeSabre (up 105 percent), the new Saab 9-3 (up 88
percent), Chevrolet Corvette (up 80 percent), Chevrolet Malibu (up 74 percent),
Chevrolet Impala (up 50 percent), and the Cadillac Deville (up 24 percent) all
had substantial gains over last December. The new Cadillac CTS posted another
healthy sales month of 4,623 units and the new Pontiac Vibe had another solid
month, selling 5,003 units.

Certified Used Cars

      GM's industry-leading certified used car program sold approximately 30,149
total certified used vehicles in December, including the Cadillac, Saturn and
Saab certified brands. The GM Certified Used Vehicle brand posted strong sales
once again, selling 24,559 units. "For the year, we achieved more than 385,000
sales, a phenomenal effort by GM dealers, GMAC and the entire VSSM
organization," Smith said. "Certified used vehicle sales exceeded our
expectations and we expect to continue strong growth in 2003."

http://media.gm.com by clicking on News, then Sales/Production. 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 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-15, 16) 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.
