On April  3,  2001,  General  Motors  Corporation  (GM)  issued  a news  release
announcing March sales and production, as well as second quarter 2001 production
estimates. The release is as follows:

ITEM 5.  OTHER ITEMS

            GM March Sales Down 4.6%; FS Utilities -- Sixth Straight
                          Month of Double-digit Gains

              - Best Month Ever for GM Full-size  Utilities -- Up 17%
              - Best Month in 22 Years for GM Full-size Pickups
              - March Car Sales Down 4%
              - March Truck Sales Down 5%

         GM Announces March Production Results; Second Quarter Forecast
                                Remains Unchanged

      DETROIT -- General  Motors  dealers  sold  442,573  new cars and trucks in
March in the United  States,  down 4.6  percent  from March  2000.  GM car sales
decreased  four percent to 213,310 units and truck sales  decreased five percent
to 229,263 units.  GM full-size  truck sales  continued a strong selling pace in
March and in the first quarter of 2001.

      Full-size  utilities  continued to post the largest  sales gains in the GM
lineup in March,  with  sales up 17  percent.  In fact,  GM  reported  its sixth
straight month of double-digit  sales gains for its full-size  sport  utilities.
The Chevrolet  Suburban and Tahoe, GMC Yukon and Yukon XL and Cadillac  Escalade
all posted individual March records.

      GM also posted its best monthly sales of GM full-size  pickups since March
1979.  March  sales of the  Chevrolet  Silverado  and GMC Sierra  climbed  seven
percent.  GM mid utility  sales also  stayed  strong in March with a two percent
increase.

      "Industry  sales have held up better than  expected  despite a backdrop of
economic  uncertainty  and we think this trend will  characterize  all of 2001,"
said Bill Lovejoy,  group vice president of North America Vehicle Sales, Service
and Marketing.  "Our first quarter  results  reflect a number of GM's strengths,
most notably continued momentum in our truck portfolio.  Without  constraints on
our outstanding  full-size  pickups and utilities,  our dealers delivered strong
sales  performances  as we  saw  in  the  first  quarter.  We  expect  that  the
introduction  of our six all-new  truck  entries in the first half will  further
strengthen GM's position in the truck market."

First Quarter Sales Results

      For the first  quarter of 2001,  GM  dealers  reported a record 16 percent
gain in full-size  utility sales from year-ago  levels,  with  Chevrolet and GMC
full-size utilities posting a best-ever first quarter.

      Other notable first-quarter sales performances came from GM entries in the
midsize segment,  including the Chevrolet  Impala,  which had its best month and
first quarter ever. The Saturn L-Series also had record March and  first-quarter
sales.

March Production Totals, 2nd Quarter 2001 Estimates

      In March, GM produced 460,000  vehicles  (217,000 cars and 243,000 trucks)
in North America,  down from 581,000 vehicles  (284,000 cars and 297,000 trucks)
produced in March  2000.  For the first  quarter  2001,  GM  produced  1,214,000
vehicles (581,000 cars and 633,000 trucks) in North America, down from 1,521,000
vehicles  (746,000 cars and 775,000 trucks)  produced in the first quarter 2000.
(Production numbers include joint venture results in North America.)

      GM announced its second-quarter  North American  production  estimate will
remain unchanged at 1.3 million vehicles (582,000 cars and 718,000 trucks), a 17
percent  decline from the second  quarter 2000 when we made  1,568,000  vehicles
(787,000 cars and 781,000 trucks).

      The  production  estimates  are  consistent  with  GM's  efforts  to align
production  with demand and reduce  inventory  levels in a  moderating  economy.

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

      -  GM Europe - The second-quarter  estimate is 516,000 vehicles, down from
         the previous estimate of 535,000 vehicles.

      -  GM Asia Pacific - The  second-quarter  estimate is 65,000 vehicles,  up
         from the previous estimate of 62,000 vehicles.

      -  GM Latin  America,  Africa  and the  Middle  East - The  second-quarter
         estimate is 167,000 vehicles,  up from the previous estimate of 164,000
         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.

change calculation with the exception of first dividing the units for each month
by their  respective  selling days.  Following is the formula:  ((current  month
units/current  month's selling  days)/(prior  month units/prior  month's selling
days)) x 100-100

On April  3,  2001,  General  Motors  Corporation  (GM)  issued  a news  release
announcing March sales and production, as well as second quarter 2001 production
estimates. The release is as follows:

ITEM 5.  OTHER ITEMS

            GM March Sales Down 4.6%; FS Utilities -- Sixth Straight
                          Month of Double-digit Gains

              - Best Month Ever for GM Full-size  Utilities -- Up 17%
              - Best Month in 22 Years for GM Full-size Pickups
              - March Car Sales Down 4%
              - March Truck Sales Down 5%

         GM Announces March Production Results; Second Quarter Forecast
                                Remains Unchanged

      DETROIT -- General  Motors  dealers  sold  442,573  new cars and trucks in
March in the United  States,  down 4.6  percent  from March  2000.  GM car sales
decreased  four percent to 213,310 units and truck sales  decreased five percent
to 229,263 units.  GM full-size  truck sales  continued a strong selling pace in
March and in the first quarter of 2001.

      Full-size  utilities  continued to post the largest  sales gains in the GM
lineup in March,  with  sales up 17  percent.  In fact,  GM  reported  its sixth
straight month of double-digit  sales gains for its full-size  sport  utilities.
The Chevrolet  Suburban and Tahoe, GMC Yukon and Yukon XL and Cadillac  Escalade
all posted individual March records.

      GM also posted its best monthly sales of GM full-size  pickups since March
1979.  March  sales of the  Chevrolet  Silverado  and GMC Sierra  climbed  seven
percent.  GM mid utility  sales also  stayed  strong in March with a two percent
increase.

      "Industry  sales have held up better than  expected  despite a backdrop of
economic  uncertainty  and we think this trend will  characterize  all of 2001,"
said Bill Lovejoy,  group vice president of North America Vehicle Sales, Service
and Marketing.  "Our first quarter  results  reflect a number of GM's strengths,
most notably continued momentum in our truck portfolio.  Without  constraints on
our outstanding  full-size  pickups and utilities,  our dealers delivered strong
sales  performances  as we  saw  in  the  first  quarter.  We  expect  that  the
introduction  of our six all-new  truck  entries in the first half will  further
strengthen GM's position in the truck market."

First Quarter Sales Results

      For the first  quarter of 2001,  GM  dealers  reported a record 16 percent
gain in full-size  utility sales from year-ago  levels,  with  Chevrolet and GMC
full-size utilities posting a best-ever first quarter.

      Other notable first-quarter sales performances came from GM entries in the
midsize segment,  including the Chevrolet  Impala,  which had its best month and
first quarter ever. The Saturn L-Series also had record March and  first-quarter
sales.

March Production Totals, 2nd Quarter 2001 Estimates

      In March, GM produced 460,000  vehicles  (217,000 cars and 243,000 trucks)
in North America,  down from 581,000 vehicles  (284,000 cars and 297,000 trucks)
produced in March  2000.  For the first  quarter  2001,  GM  produced  1,214,000
vehicles (581,000 cars and 633,000 trucks) in North America, down from 1,521,000
vehicles  (746,000 cars and 775,000 trucks)  produced in the first quarter 2000.
(Production numbers include joint venture results in North America.)

      GM announced its second-quarter  North American  production  estimate will
remain unchanged at 1.3 million vehicles (582,000 cars and 718,000 trucks), a 17
percent  decline from the second  quarter 2000 when we made  1,568,000  vehicles
(787,000 cars and 781,000 trucks).

      The  production  estimates  are  consistent  with  GM's  efforts  to align
production  with demand and reduce  inventory  levels in a  moderating  economy.

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

      -  GM Europe - The second-quarter  estimate is 516,000 vehicles, down from
         the previous estimate of 535,000 vehicles.

      -  GM Asia Pacific - The  second-quarter  estimate is 65,000 vehicles,  up
         from the previous estimate of 62,000 vehicles.

      -  GM Latin  America,  Africa  and the  Middle  East - The  second-quarter
         estimate is 167,000 vehicles,  up from the previous estimate of 164,000
         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.

change calculation with the exception of first dividing the units for each month
by their  respective  selling days.  Following is the formula:  ((current  month
units/current  month's selling  days)/(prior  month units/prior  month's selling
days)) x 100-100
