GM Reports September Sales of 367,496, Up 13 Percent

Truck Sales Up 15 Percent; Car Sales Up 10 Percent
Truck Sales Set New Third-Quarter Industry Record
Models Representing 50 Percent of GM Sales Set New Quarterly Records


DETROIT - General Motors Corp. dealers sold 367,496 new cars and trucks in

improvement.

"GM's sales in September were solid and contributed to a 2 percent improvement
in the third quarter over the prior year," said John Smith, group vice president
of GM North America Vehicle Sales, Service and Marketing. "This increase was the
result of GM shattering the prior industry sales record for trucks along with
continued strong demand for other key vehicles such as the Chevrolet Impala,

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-18) 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.

"GM's sales in September were solid and contributed to a 2 percent improvement
in the third quarter over the prior year," said John Smith, group vice president
of GM North America Vehicle Sales, Service and Marketing. "This increase was the

continued strong demand for other key vehicles such as the Chevrolet Impala,
Cadillac CTS and Escalade, Saab 9-3, Pontiac Vibe, GMC Envoy and Saturn VUE."

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

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.
