ITEM 5.  OTHER ITEMS

On September 4, 2001, General Motors Corporation (GM) issued a news release
announcing August production results and third and fourth quarter forecast. The
release is as follows:

         GM Truck Sales Continue Momentum: SUVs on Industry Record Pace

               - Industry on target for Third-Best All-Time Sales
               - GM Truck Sales Up 7%; Passenger Cars Down 20%
               - Overall August Sales Down 7%

    GM Announces August Production Results and 3rd and 4th Quarter Estimates

      DETROIT -- General Motors dealers sold 403,258 new cars and trucks in
August in the United States, a 7 percent decline from August 2000. Industry
sales moderated in August but are on track for the third-best sales year.

      "We are very pleased that GM's leading lineup of truck brands continued to
pace the industry, especially our midsize and full-size utilities and full-size
pickups," said Bill Lovejoy, group vice president of North America Vehicle
Sales, Service and Marketing. "Despite an extremely competitive market, GM's
share continued to stabilize and we have made good progress in improving our
product mix, managing our fleet volumes, reducing our total inventory and moving
out our 2001 models."

GM Sales Highlights
-------------------
      GM and its dealers continued to have robust truck sales in August led by
midsize utilities, full-size utilities and full-size pickups. The strongest
results in August came once again from sport utility vehicle (SUV) sales,
keeping GM on pace to set an all-time industry SUV calendar year sales record.
GM's full-size utilities (41,352) dominated the industry once again in August on
the strength of Chevrolet Tahoe, GMC Yukon and Yukon XL as well as increased
sales of the all-new Cadillac Escalade. GM's all-new midsize SUV lineup, the
Chevrolet TrailBlazer, GMC Envoy and Oldsmobile Bravada and Buick Rendezvous
continued to gain sales momentum. GM maintained its leadership in full-size
pickups in August (76,586) and is on pace for the best year since 1978.

      As new and innovative entries Buick Rendezvous, Chevrolet Avalanche and
Cadillac Escalade increase in availability, GM expects its strong truck sales
performance will continue in the second half.

GM Announces August and 3rd- & 4th-Quarter 2001 Estimates
--------------------------------------------------------
      In August, GM produced 508,000 vehicles (236,000 cars and 272,000 trucks)
in North America, down from 561,000 vehicles (295,000 cars and 266,000 trucks)

      GM announced that the third-quarter production estimate will be largely

663,000 trucks), up slightly from the prior estimate of 1.230 million vehicles
(567,000 cars and 663,000 trucks). It is a 6.6 percent decline from the 1.319

quarter of 2000.

      Additionally, GM announced that the fourth-quarter production estimate
will be 1.318 million vehicles (597,000 cars and 721,000 trucks), down 3.3
percent from 1.364 million vehicles (670,000 cars and 694,000 trucks) produced
in the fourth quarter of 2000.

      GM also announced the following production estimates for its international
regions:

      -  GM Europe - The third-quarter estimate is 378,000, down from the

         2000.

      -  GM Asia Pacific - The third-quarter estimate is 75,000 vehicles, down
         from the previous estimate of 81,000. The fourth-quarter estimate is
         84,000, up from the 47,000 produced in the fourth quarter 2000.

      -  GM Latin America, Africa and the Middle East - The third-quarter
         estimate is 146,000 vehicles, down from the previous estimate of

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.

ITEM 5.  OTHER ITEMS

On September 4, 2001, General Motors Corporation (GM) issued a news release
announcing August production results and third and fourth quarter forecast. The
release is as follows:

         GM Truck Sales Continue Momentum: SUVs on Industry Record Pace

               - Industry on target for Third-Best All-Time Sales
               - GM Truck Sales Up 7%; Passenger Cars Down 20%
               - Overall August Sales Down 7%

    GM Announces August Production Results and 3rd and 4th Quarter Estimates

      DETROIT -- General Motors dealers sold 403,258 new cars and trucks in
August in the United States, a 7 percent decline from August 2000. Industry
sales moderated in August but are on track for the third-best sales year.

      "We are very pleased that GM's leading lineup of truck brands continued to
pace the industry, especially our midsize and full-size utilities and full-size
pickups," said Bill Lovejoy, group vice president of North America Vehicle
Sales, Service and Marketing. "Despite an extremely competitive market, GM's
share continued to stabilize and we have made good progress in improving our
product mix, managing our fleet volumes, reducing our total inventory and moving
out our 2001 models."

GM Sales Highlights
-------------------
      GM and its dealers continued to have robust truck sales in August led by
midsize utilities, full-size utilities and full-size pickups. The strongest
results in August came once again from sport utility vehicle (SUV) sales,
keeping GM on pace to set an all-time industry SUV calendar year sales record.
GM's full-size utilities (41,352) dominated the industry once again in August on
the strength of Chevrolet Tahoe, GMC Yukon and Yukon XL as well as increased
sales of the all-new Cadillac Escalade. GM's all-new midsize SUV lineup, the
Chevrolet TrailBlazer, GMC Envoy and Oldsmobile Bravada and Buick Rendezvous
continued to gain sales momentum. GM maintained its leadership in full-size
pickups in August (76,586) and is on pace for the best year since 1978.

      As new and innovative entries Buick Rendezvous, Chevrolet Avalanche and
Cadillac Escalade increase in availability, GM expects its strong truck sales
performance will continue in the second half.

GM Announces August and 3rd- & 4th-Quarter 2001 Estimates
--------------------------------------------------------
      In August, GM produced 508,000 vehicles (236,000 cars and 272,000 trucks)
in North America, down from 561,000 vehicles (295,000 cars and 266,000 trucks)
produced in August 2000. (Production totals include joint venture production of
11,600 vehicles in August 2001 and 14,000 vehicles in August 2000.)

      GM announced that the third-quarter production estimate will be largely
unchanged from recent guidance at 1.232 million vehicles (569,000 cars and
663,000 trucks), up slightly from the prior estimate of 1.230 million vehicles
(567,000 cars and 663,000 trucks). It is a 6.6 percent decline from the 1.319
million vehicles (689,000 cars and 630,000 trucks) GM produced in the third
quarter of 2000.

      Additionally, GM announced that the fourth-quarter production estimate
will be 1.318 million vehicles (597,000 cars and 721,000 trucks), down 3.3
percent from 1.364 million vehicles (670,000 cars and 694,000 trucks) produced
in the fourth quarter of 2000.

      GM also announced the following production estimates for its international
regions:

      -  GM Europe - The third-quarter estimate is 378,000, down from the
         previous estimate of 387,000 vehicles. The fourth-quarter estimate is
         436,000, down from the 513,000 vehicles produced in the fourth quarter
         2000.

      -  GM Asia Pacific - The third-quarter estimate is 75,000 vehicles, down
         from the previous estimate of 81,000. The fourth-quarter estimate is
         84,000, up from the 47,000 produced in the fourth quarter 2000.

      -  GM Latin America, Africa and the Middle East - The third-quarter
         estimate is 146,000 vehicles, down from the previous estimate of
         157,000. The fourth-quarter estimate is 154,000, up from the 135,000
         vehicles produced in the fourth quarter 2000.

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.
