ITEM 8.01.  OTHER EVENTS

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

GM Reports 426,114 Deliveries in March

Retail Sales Up 34 Percent from February, U.S. Share Improves
Full-Size Pickup Sales Lead Industry, Best March Sales Since 1978
New Pontiac G6, Chevrolet Cobalt and Buick LaCrosse All Post Best-Ever Monthly
Sales

DETROIT - General Motors dealers sold 426,114 new cars and trucks in March with
retail sales up 34 percent from February levels, led by strong retail truck
sales. Overall, GM sales were down 1 percent on a selling days adjusted basis
and up 3 percent on an absolute basis. GM truck sales (255,209) were up 4
percent, and car sales (170,905) were down 9 percent. Total first quarter sales
(1,015,142) were down 5 percent. Truck sales in the first quarter (596,866) were
down 1.5 percent, and car sales (418,276) were down 9 percent.

"We experienced a nice improvement in both sales and share in March led by
full-size pickup and launch vehicle sales," said Mark LaNeve, vice president, GM
North America Vehicle Sales, Service and Marketing. "Several of our launch
vehicles, including Pontiac G6, Buick LaCrosse, Chevrolet Cobalt and Colorado
and GMC Canyon, all posted best-ever sales. Cobalt, in particular, had
exceptional sales, breaking the 14,000-unit sales mark. We're encouraged by the
sales performance of our launch vehicles and are hopeful that sales will
continue to gain momentum as consumers become more aware of them and recognize
the value they represent."

Sales of GM's new models continued to grow month-over-month comprising an
increasingly greater percentage of GM deliveries, accounting for 24 percent of
March deliveries and 26 percent for the first quarter. Pontiac G6 had its
best-ever monthly sales in March, beating its previous high in February by 21
percent. With the anticipated addition of the coupe this summer, availability of
4-cylinder engines and a retractable hardtop convertible in early 2006, G6 sales
are expected to continue to strengthen.

The new Buick LaCrosse in March had its best sales month since introduction.
Total deliveries were up 21 percent compared to February. LaCrosse retail sales
again outpaced year-ago combined Century and Regal retail sales achieving a 16.5
percent improvement. Additionally, Buick's new crossover sport van, Terraza,
also posted its best-ever monthly sales with a 37 percent increase over February
deliveries. Buick plans to introduce its third all-new vehicle in just over a
year with the launch of Lucerne later this year.

The first launch vehicles in Chevrolet's product blitz of 20 new models are
showing strong sales results. Cobalt achieved best-ever sales in March with
deliveries that were 66 percent above February results. Production of the Cobalt
SS coupe and Cobalt SS sedan is scheduled to begin this summer. Aveo sales were
up 34 percent compared to year-ago levels, and Colorado sales rose 58 percent.
Chevrolet's new crossover sport van, Uplander, posted its second-best sales
month. Continuing its strong sales results, Equinox deliveries in March broke
the 10,000-unit mark for the fifth time in the last seven months. Next up for
Chevrolet are the new HHR, which is scheduled for introduction in the late
summer/early fall of 2005 and the new Impala and Monte Carlo, scheduled to
arrive in dealers' showrooms later this year.

Highlights of GM's truck sales: Sales of GM's industry-leading truck lineup were
up 4 percent in March, led by a 17 percent increase and the best March full-size
pickup sales since 1978. Chevrolet Silverado sales climbed 18 percent, and GMC
Sierra sales increased 23 percent, setting new March sales records. In the very
competitive full-size pickup segment, Silverado and Sierra sales continue to
outperform the segment, for which total sales are down for the calendar
year-to-date. Mid-size pickup sales rose 38 percent in March, led by best-ever
monthly sales of the Chevrolet Colorado (up 58 percent) and GMC Canyon (up 77
percent). In addition to solid sales for the crossover sport vans Chevrolet
Uplander and Buick Terraza, Saturn Relay also posted its best sales to date, a
22 percent increase over February deliveries.

Highlights of GM's car sales: Consumers continued to respond enthusiastically to
Cadillac STS, which achieved its second-best monthly sales since launch. March
sales were 31 percent higher than February deliveries. Entry-level car sales in
March were up 7 percent, led by strong sales of Chevrolet Aveo and Cobalt and
Saturn Ion, which was up 1 percent compared to last year. Pontiac GTO deliveries
were up 84 percent compared to year-ago levels, and Chevrolet Corvette sales
rose 2 percent.

Certified Used Vehicles

March sales for all certified GM brands, including GM Certified Used Vehicles,
Cadillac Certified Pre-Owned, Used Cars from Saturn and Saab Certified
Pre-Owned, were 47,251 units, up 6 percent over last March and the category's
second-highest monthly sales performance. Total year-to-date certified GM sales
are 132,596 units, up 2 percent over last year's first quarter.

GM Certified Used Vehicles, the industry's top-selling manufacturer-certified
used brand, posted its third highest sales month on record with strong sales of
40,142 units, up 7 percent from last March. Year-to-date sales for GM Certified
Used Vehicles are 113,413, up 4 percent.

Cadillac Certified Pre-Owned Vehicles posted its second-best monthly performance
with sales of 3,523 units, up more than 18 percent. Used Cars from Saturn sold
2,867 units, down 13 percent. Saab Certified Pre-Owned Vehicles sold 719 units,
up 2 percent.

"GM continues to set the pace in the certified segment, with the category's
second-highest monthly sales performance ever," LaNeve said. "GM Certified Used
Vehicles, the number-one selling certified brand, was up 7 percent from last
March, and Cadillac Certified Pre-Owned Vehicles posted its second-best monthly
sales on record, up 18 percent. We're bullish on the prospects for continued
growth through 2005."

these statements represent our current judgment on what the future may hold, and
we believe these judgments are reasonable, actual results may differ materially

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

GM Reports 426,114 Deliveries in March

Retail Sales Up 34 Percent from February, U.S. Share Improves
Full-Size Pickup Sales Lead Industry, Best March Sales Since 1978
New Pontiac G6, Chevrolet Cobalt and Buick LaCrosse All Post Best-Ever Monthly
Sales

DETROIT - General Motors dealers sold 426,114 new cars and trucks in March with
retail sales up 34 percent from February levels, led by strong retail truck
sales. Overall, GM sales were down 1 percent on a selling days adjusted basis
and up 3 percent on an absolute basis. GM truck sales (255,209) were up 4
percent, and car sales (170,905) were down 9 percent. Total first quarter sales
(1,015,142) were down 5 percent. Truck sales in the first quarter (596,866) were
down 1.5 percent, and car sales (418,276) were down 9 percent.

"We experienced a nice improvement in both sales and share in March led by
full-size pickup and launch vehicle sales," said Mark LaNeve, vice president, GM
North America Vehicle Sales, Service and Marketing. "Several of our launch
vehicles, including Pontiac G6, Buick LaCrosse, Chevrolet Cobalt and Colorado
and GMC Canyon, all posted best-ever sales. Cobalt, in particular, had
exceptional sales, breaking the 14,000-unit sales mark. We're encouraged by the
sales performance of our launch vehicles and are hopeful that sales will
continue to gain momentum as consumers become more aware of them and recognize
the value they represent."

Sales of GM's new models continued to grow month-over-month comprising an
increasingly greater percentage of GM deliveries, accounting for 24 percent of
March deliveries and 26 percent for the first quarter. Pontiac G6 had its
best-ever monthly sales in March, beating its previous high in February by 21
percent. With the anticipated addition of the coupe this summer, availability of
4-cylinder engines and a retractable hardtop convertible in early 2006, G6 sales
are expected to continue to strengthen.

The new Buick LaCrosse in March had its best sales month since introduction.
Total deliveries were up 21 percent compared to February. LaCrosse retail sales
again outpaced year-ago combined Century and Regal retail sales achieving a 16.5
percent improvement. Additionally, Buick's new crossover sport van, Terraza,
also posted its best-ever monthly sales with a 37 percent increase over February
deliveries. Buick plans to introduce its third all-new vehicle in just over a
year with the launch of Lucerne later this year.

The first launch vehicles in Chevrolet's product blitz of 20 new models are
showing strong sales results. Cobalt achieved best-ever sales in March with
deliveries that were 66 percent above February results. Production of the Cobalt
SS coupe and Cobalt SS sedan is scheduled to begin this summer. Aveo sales were
up 34 percent compared to year-ago levels, and Colorado sales rose 58 percent.
Chevrolet's new crossover sport van, Uplander, posted its second-best sales
month. Continuing its strong sales results, Equinox deliveries in March broke
the 10,000-unit mark for the fifth time in the last seven months. Next up for
Chevrolet are the new HHR, which is scheduled for introduction in the late
summer/early fall of 2005 and the new Impala and Monte Carlo, scheduled to
arrive in dealers' showrooms later this year.

Highlights of GM's truck sales: Sales of GM's industry-leading truck lineup were
up 4 percent in March, led by a 17 percent increase and the best March full-size
pickup sales since 1978. Chevrolet Silverado sales climbed 18 percent, and GMC
Sierra sales increased 23 percent, setting new March sales records. In the very
competitive full-size pickup segment, Silverado and Sierra sales continue to
outperform the segment, for which total sales are down for the calendar
year-to-date. Mid-size pickup sales rose 38 percent in March, led by best-ever
monthly sales of the Chevrolet Colorado (up 58 percent) and GMC Canyon (up 77
percent). In addition to solid sales for the crossover sport vans Chevrolet
Uplander and Buick Terraza, Saturn Relay also posted its best sales to date, a
22 percent increase over February deliveries.
Highlights of GM's car sales: Consumers continued to respond enthusiastically to
Cadillac STS, which achieved its second-best monthly sales since launch. March
sales were 31 percent higher than February deliveries. Entry-level car sales in
March were up 7 percent, led by strong sales of Chevrolet Aveo and Cobalt and
Saturn Ion, which was up 1 percent compared to last year. Pontiac GTO deliveries
were up 84 percent compared to year-ago levels, and Chevrolet Corvette sales
rose 2 percent.

Certified Used Vehicles

March sales for all certified GM brands, including GM Certified Used Vehicles,
Cadillac Certified Pre-Owned, Used Cars from Saturn and Saab Certified
Pre-Owned, were 47,251 units, up 6 percent over last March and the category's
second-highest monthly sales performance. Total year-to-date certified GM sales
are 132,596 units, up 2 percent over last year's first quarter.

GM Certified Used Vehicles, the industry's top-selling manufacturer-certified
used brand, posted its third highest sales month on record with strong sales of
40,142 units, up 7 percent from last March. Year-to-date sales for GM Certified
Used Vehicles are 113,413, up 4 percent.

Cadillac Certified Pre-Owned Vehicles posted its second-best monthly performance
with sales of 3,523 units, up more than 18 percent. Used Cars from Saturn sold
2,867 units, down 13 percent. Saab Certified Pre-Owned Vehicles sold 719 units,
up 2 percent.

"GM continues to set the pace in the certified segment, with the category's
second-highest monthly sales performance ever," LaNeve said. "GM Certified Used
Vehicles, the number-one selling certified brand, was up 7 percent from last
March, and Cadillac Certified Pre-Owned Vehicles posted its second-best monthly
sales on record, up 18 percent. We're bullish on the prospects for continued
growth through 2005."

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.
