ITEM 8.01.  OTHER EVENTS

On September 1, 2005, General Motors Corporation (GM) issued a news release
announcing August 2005 sales. The release is as follows:


GM Reports 355,180 Deliveries in August
H3 Drives Record HUMMER Sales
Strong Start for Chevy HHR and Impala
Pontiac Sales Up 7 Percent, Paced by Brisk G6 Deliveries


DETROIT - General Motors dealers in the United States sold 355,180 new cars and
trucks in August, down 16 percent from the same month a year ago. Car sales in
August declined 15 percent and truck sales were off 17 percent.

GM's August sales performance was in line with expectations following
exceptionally strong sales in June and July, spurred by the highly successful GM
Employee Discount for Everyone program.

"We knew August was going to be a tough month given extremely tight
inventories," said Mark LaNeve, GM North America vice president, Vehicle Sales,
Service and Marketing. "However, even with August sales, it's been a great
summer for us, our dealers and, most importantly, our customers, who got a great
deal with the GM Employee Discount Program, which hit home because of its
simplicity and clarity."

GM's new models continued to deliver solid sales results in August, accompanied
by favorable reviews in the press and positive reactions from consumers. For
example, as Chevrolet concludes its introduction of 10 new vehicles in just 20
months, HHR and Impala are experiencing some of the fastest turn rates among
GM's product portfolio, each at over 40 percent, despite low inventories (turn
rates are the percentage of vehicles sold of those that are available).
Chevrolet HHR deliveries surpassed the 5,000-unit mark in just its second month
of sales and with the vehicle in short supply. Chevrolet's high volume car, the
new Impala, is off to a strong start with more than 14,500 sales of the 2006
model in August.

The HUMMER H3 is another example of increasing consumer acceptance of GM's new
vehicles. H3 sales have improved every month since its May launch, resulting in
a 155 percent sales improvement for HUMMER in August and a 76 percent increase
for the calendar year-to-date. Automotive reviewers in North America and Europe,
where it was introduced in July, have praised H3's fidelity to its HUMMER
heritage, with attractive fuel economy, enhanced maneuverability and a base
price of only $29,500.

Pontiac sales were up 7 percent, driven by brisk sales of the G6 and the first
deliveries of the coupe. Saturn sales rose 11 percent, led by over 6,800
deliveries of the new 2006 Vue. Cadillac delivered 19,262 vehicles in August,
with calendar year-to-date sales up 11 percent.

The employee discount program was very effective in reducing GM's inventory
levels. Inventory going into September is about 764,000 units, down 407,000
units compared to last year. Only 359,000 units in inventory are 2005 models.

Certified Used Vehicles

August sales for all certified GM brands, including GM Certified Used Vehicles,
Cadillac Certified Pre-Owned Vehicles, Used Cars from Saturn and Saab Certified
Pre-Owned Vehicles, established a new monthly sales record for the certified
category with sales of 50,926 units, up 20 percent from last August. This marks
the second consecutive month that GM has surpassed the 50,000 mark in monthly
certified used sales. Total year-to-date certified GM sales are 360,944 units,
up 4 percent from the same period last year.

GM Certified Used Vehicles, the industry's top-selling manufacturer-certified
used brand, set a new monthly sales record for the certified pre-owned category
with August sales of 43,718, units, exceeding its record-setting performance set
in July. GM Certified sales were up 24 percent from the previous August.
Year-to-date sales for GM Certified Used Vehicles are 306,353 units, up 5
percent.

Cadillac Certified Pre-Owned Vehicles posted 3,457 sales, up 14 percent over
last August. Used Cars from Saturn sold 2,843 units, down 16 percent. Saab
Certified Pre-Owned Vehicles sold 908 units, up 19 percent.

"August was another outstanding month of certified sales for GM, surpassing our
industry record-setting performance in July," LaNeve said. "The industry's
top-selling certified brand, GM Certified Used Vehicles continues to set the
pace for the certified segment, with a new all-time monthly sales record for the
category."

GM North America Reports August Production, 2005 Third-Quarter Production
Forecast Revised and 2005 Fourth-Quarter Production Forecast Set

GM North America in August produced 491,000 vehicles (181,000 cars and 310,000

471,000 vehicles. In the fourth quarter of 2004, GM Europe built 442,000

estimate is 419,000 vehicles, down 11,000 units from last month's guidance. In
the third quarter of 2004, GM Asia Pacific built 314,000 vehicles. In addition,
the region's initial 2005 fourth-quarter production forecast is 447,000
vehicles. In the fourth quarter of 2004, the region built 386,000 vehicles.

GM Latin America, Africa and the Middle East - The region's revised 2005
third-quarter production estimate is 209,000 vehicles, up 2,000 units from last

vehicles. Also, the region's initial 2005 fourth-quarter production estimate is
197,000 vehicles. In the fourth quarter of 2004 the region built 200,000
vehicles.

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 8.01.  OTHER EVENTS

On September 1, 2005, General Motors Corporation (GM) issued a news release
announcing August 2005 sales. The release is as follows:

GM Reports 355,180 Deliveries in August
H3 Drives Record HUMMER Sales
Strong Start for Chevy HHR and Impala
Pontiac Sales Up 7 Percent, Paced by Brisk G6 Deliveries

DETROIT - General Motors dealers in the United States sold 355,180 new cars and
trucks in August, down 16 percent from the same month a year ago. Car sales in
August declined 15 percent and truck sales were off 17 percent.

GM's August sales performance was in line with expectations following
exceptionally strong sales in June and July, spurred by the highly successful GM
Employee Discount for Everyone program.

"We knew August was going to be a tough month given extremely tight
inventories," said Mark LaNeve, GM North America vice president, Vehicle Sales,
Service and Marketing. "However, even with August sales, it's been a great
summer for us, our dealers and, most importantly, our customers, who got a great
deal with the GM Employee Discount Program, which hit home because of its
simplicity and clarity."

GM's new models continued to deliver solid sales results in August, accompanied
by favorable reviews in the press and positive reactions from consumers. For
example, as Chevrolet concludes its introduction of 10 new vehicles in just 20
months, HHR and Impala are experiencing some of the fastest turn rates among
GM's product portfolio, each at over 40 percent, despite low inventories (turn
rates are the percentage of vehicles sold of those that are available).
Chevrolet HHR deliveries surpassed the 5,000-unit mark in just its second month
of sales and with the vehicle in short supply. Chevrolet's high volume car, the
new Impala, is off to a strong start with more than 14,500 sales of the 2006
model in August.

The HUMMER H3 is another example of increasing consumer acceptance of GM's new
vehicles. H3 sales have improved every month since its May launch, resulting in
a 155 percent sales improvement for HUMMER in August and a 76 percent increase
for the calendar year-to-date. Automotive reviewers in North America and Europe,
where it was introduced in July, have praised H3's fidelity to its HUMMER
heritage, with attractive fuel economy, enhanced maneuverability and a base
price of only $29,500.

Pontiac sales were up 7 percent, driven by brisk sales of the G6 and the first
deliveries of the coupe. Saturn sales rose 11 percent, led by over 6,800
deliveries of the new 2006 Vue. Cadillac delivered 19,262 vehicles in August,
with calendar year-to-date sales up 11 percent.

The employee discount program was very effective in reducing GM's inventory
levels. Inventory going into September is about 764,000 units, down 407,000
units compared to last year. Only 359,000 units in inventory are 2005 models.

Certified Used Vehicles

August sales for all certified GM brands, including GM Certified Used Vehicles,
Cadillac Certified Pre-Owned Vehicles, Used Cars from Saturn and Saab Certified
Pre-Owned Vehicles, established a new monthly sales record for the certified
category with sales of 50,926 units, up 20 percent from last August. This marks
the second consecutive month that GM has surpassed the 50,000 mark in monthly
certified used sales. Total year-to-date certified GM sales are 360,944 units,
up 4 percent from the same period last year.

GM Certified Used Vehicles, the industry's top-selling manufacturer-certified
used brand, set a new monthly sales record for the certified pre-owned category
with August sales of 43,718, units, exceeding its record-setting performance set
in July. GM Certified sales were up 24 percent from the previous August.
Year-to-date sales for GM Certified Used Vehicles are 306,353 units, up 5
percent.

Cadillac Certified Pre-Owned Vehicles posted 3,457 sales, up 14 percent over
last August. Used Cars from Saturn sold 2,843 units, down 16 percent. Saab
Certified Pre-Owned Vehicles sold 908 units, up 19 percent.
"August was another outstanding month of certified sales for GM, surpassing our
industry record-setting performance in July," LaNeve said. "The industry's
top-selling certified brand, GM Certified Used Vehicles continues to set the
pace for the certified segment, with a new all-time monthly sales record for the
category."

GM North America Reports August Production, 2005 Third-Quarter Production
Forecast Revised and 2005 Fourth-Quarter Production Forecast Set

GM North America in August produced 491,000 vehicles (181,000 cars and 310,000

estimate is 419,000 vehicles, down 11,000 units from last month's guidance. In
the third quarter of 2004, GM Asia Pacific built 314,000 vehicles. In addition,
the region's initial 2005 fourth-quarter production forecast is 447,000
vehicles. In the fourth quarter of 2004, the region built 386,000 vehicles.

GM Latin America, Africa and the Middle East - The region's revised 2005
third-quarter production estimate is 209,000 vehicles, up 2,000 units from last

vehicles. Also, the region's initial 2005 fourth-quarter production estimate is
197,000 vehicles. In the fourth quarter of 2004 the region built 200,000
vehicles.

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
