ITEM 8.01.  OTHER EVENTS

On December 1, 2004, General Motors Corporation (GM) issued a news release
announcing November 2004 sales. The release is as follows:

GM Announces November Sales of 303,891 Vehicles
Utility Sales on Pace to Set Another Calendar Year Industry Record
Cadillac on Track to Have Best Sales Since 1990

DETROIT - General Motors dealers sold 303,891 new cars and trucks in November,
down 13 percent compared to year-ago sales. GM's truck sales (185,699) were down
10 percent, and car sales (118,192) were down 17 percent.

"GM's November sales overall were softer than expected, however we saw some
encouraging results," said John Smith, group vice president, GM North America
Vehicle Sales, Service and Marketing. "Our key launch products, the Chevrolet
Aveo, Colorado and Equinox, Cadillac STS, GMC Canyon, Pontiac G6 and Buick
LaCrosse continue to gain sales and show market momentum. Additionally, we've
maintained industry truck leadership in an increasingly competitive marketplace
and will likely set a new industry record for utility sales this year. Key
brands, particularly Chevrolet, GMC and Cadillac are achieving solid sales
results, with Cadillac having its best year since 1990."

GM Truck Sales

Although GM's total truck sales for November were down versus last year,
calendar year-to-date sales remain at industry-record levels. Truck sales are up
1 percent for the calendar year, paced by another record-setting year for sport
utility vehicle sales, which are up 6 percent through November. In addition,
medium pickups and medium-luxury utilities had sales improvements in November,
and small utilities posted a monthly sales record. Launch vehicles, including
the Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon, Chevrolet Equinox and Cadillac SRX drove
the sales lift in those segments.

GM Car Sales

Several GM cars achieved strong sales results in November. Chevrolet Malibu,
Corvette and Impala, Cadillac CTS and XLR and Pontiac Vibe all had
year-over-year sales improvements. Chevrolet Aveo deliveries were up 88 percent,
its second-best sales month since launch.

Divisional Highlights

Chevrolet - In addition to Aveo, Colorado and Equinox had strong November sales,
and Corvette deliveries improved 38 percent. Equinox sales topped 10,000 units,
and TrailBlazer sales were up 18 percent in November. Although Chevrolet's
November sales were down, calendar year-to-date deliveries are up 4 percent,
with car sales up 14 percent and truck sales comparable to year-ago levels.

Cadillac - Cadillac's November truck sales were led by SRX and Escalade ESV. SRX
deliveries were up 39 percent, and Escalade ESV sales improved 6 percent,
setting a new November sales record. On the car side, CTS continued its solid
sales results with a 4 percent increase in November, and XLR deliveries were up
2 percent. Cadillac's overall vehicle deliveries in November declined, however
calendar year-to-date sales are up 7 percent, with truck deliveries up 46
percent. As a result of its year-long strong sales, Cadillac remains on pace for
its best sales year since 1990.

GMC - Although GMC sales were down in November, it remains on track to have its
best-ever sales year, with calendar year-to-date deliveries up 5 percent. GMC's
sales pace is driven by record-setting calendar year-to-date gains for Envoy and
Sierra. Yukon also posted a calendar year-to-date sales increase for GMC, which
has set annual sales records in 10 of the last 11 years.

Pontiac - Sales of the all-new G6 were up 19 percent compared to October as
production continues to ramp up. Car sales for the calendar year have risen 5
percent, led by a 9 percent sales increase for Grand Prix, a 30 percent
improvement for Bonneville and the introduction of the G6. Although Pontiac's
November sales declined, deliveries for the calendar year are up 2 percent.

<PAGE>

HUMMER - H2 SUT sales have shown continued growth since launch and have
contributed to improving total HUMMER sales in recent months.

Saturn - Vue, bolstered by sales of its Red Line version, continues its solid
sales results with deliveries up 2 percent in November and 8 percent for the
calendar year-to-date. Saturn's November sales and calendar year-to-date sales
are down due to the discontinuation of the L-Series. Relay, Saturn's new
crossover sport van, is arriving in dealers' showrooms, and sales are off to a
good start.

Buick - Sales of Buick's all-new mid-size sedan, the LaCrosse, are strengthening
as production ramps up. Its new crossover sport van, Terraza, posted good sales
in its first month. Buick's November sales were down, however Buick truck sales
for the calendar year are up 16 percent.

Certified Used Vehicles

November sales for all GM certified used vehicle brands, including GM Certified
Used Vehicles, Cadillac Certified Pre-Owned, Used Cars from Saturn and Saab
Certified Pre-Owned, were 46,405 units, up 22 percent from November 2003.
Calendar year-to-date sales are 486,217, up 12 percent from the same period last
year.

GM Certified Used Vehicles, the industry's top-selling manufacturer-certified
used brand, posted the certified category's second-highest monthly sales ever in
November with 40,125 sales, up more than 26 percent from November 2003. This
marks the second consecutive month that GM Certified Used Vehicles surpassed
40,000 units in sales.

GM Certified Used Vehicles continues to lead all certified pre-owned brands
industry-wide with 2004 calendar year-to-date sales of 409,514 units, a 13
percent increase from the same period last year and a new annual sales record
for the certified category. GM Certified also announced this month that
Chevrolet is now the industry's top-selling single-line make certified brand in
the U.S., according to 2004 certified pre-owned segment sales statistics from
Autodata Corp.

Cadillac Certified Pre-Owned Vehicles posted sales of 3,041 units, up 25 percent
compared to year-ago levels. Used Cars from Saturn sold 2,662 units, down 10
percent. Saab Certified Pre-Owned Vehicles sold 577 units, down 27 percent.

"With its second-best sales performance ever in November, GM Certified Used
Vehicles passed the certified category record sales of nearly 400,000 units it
recorded last year and continues to drive the category," Smith said.
"Chevrolet's status as the top-selling single-line make certified used vehicle
is especially noteworthy and is a testament to the excellent value offered by
Chevrolet cars and trucks."

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 December 1, 2004, General Motors Corporation (GM) issued a news release
announcing November 2004 sales. The release is as follows:

GM Announces November Sales of 303,891 Vehicles
Utility Sales on Pace to Set Another Calendar Year Industry Record
Cadillac on Track to Have Best Sales Since 1990

DETROIT - General Motors dealers sold 303,891 new cars and trucks in November,
down 13 percent compared to year-ago sales. GM's truck sales (185,699) were down
10 percent, and car sales (118,192) were down 17 percent.

"GM's November sales overall were softer than expected, however we saw some
encouraging results," said John Smith, group vice president, GM North America
Vehicle Sales, Service and Marketing. "Our key launch products, the Chevrolet
Aveo, Colorado and Equinox, Cadillac STS, GMC Canyon, Pontiac G6 and Buick
LaCrosse continue to gain sales and show market momentum. Additionally, we've
maintained industry truck leadership in an increasingly competitive marketplace
and will likely set a new industry record for utility sales this year. Key
brands, particularly Chevrolet, GMC and Cadillac are achieving solid sales
results, with Cadillac having its best year since 1990."

GM Truck Sales

Although GM's total truck sales for November were down versus last year,
calendar year-to-date sales remain at industry-record levels. Truck sales are up
1 percent for the calendar year, paced by another record-setting year for sport
utility vehicle sales, which are up 6 percent through November. In addition,
medium pickups and medium-luxury utilities had sales improvements in November,
and small utilities posted a monthly sales record. Launch vehicles, including
the Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon, Chevrolet Equinox and Cadillac SRX drove
the sales lift in those segments.

GM Car Sales

Several GM cars achieved strong sales results in November. Chevrolet Malibu,
Corvette and Impala, Cadillac CTS and XLR and Pontiac Vibe all had
year-over-year sales improvements. Chevrolet Aveo deliveries were up 88 percent,
its second-best sales month since launch.

Divisional Highlights

Chevrolet - In addition to Aveo, Colorado and Equinox had strong November sales,
and Corvette deliveries improved 38 percent. Equinox sales topped 10,000 units,
and TrailBlazer sales were up 18 percent in November. Although Chevrolet's
November sales were down, calendar year-to-date deliveries are up 4 percent,
with car sales up 14 percent and truck sales comparable to year-ago levels.

Cadillac - Cadillac's November truck sales were led by SRX and Escalade ESV. SRX
deliveries were up 39 percent, and Escalade ESV sales improved 6 percent,
setting a new November sales record. On the car side, CTS continued its solid
sales results with a 4 percent increase in November, and XLR deliveries were up
2 percent. Cadillac's overall vehicle deliveries in November declined, however
calendar year-to-date sales are up 7 percent, with truck deliveries up 46
percent. As a result of its year-long strong sales, Cadillac remains on pace for
its best sales year since 1990.

GMC - Although GMC sales were down in November, it remains on track to have its
best-ever sales year, with calendar year-to-date deliveries up 5 percent. GMC's
sales pace is driven by record-setting calendar year-to-date gains for Envoy and
Sierra. Yukon also posted a calendar year-to-date sales increase for GMC, which
has set annual sales records in 10 of the last 11 years.

Pontiac - Sales of the all-new G6 were up 19 percent compared to October as
production continues to ramp up. Car sales for the calendar year have risen 5
percent, led by a 9 percent sales increase for Grand Prix, a 30 percent
improvement for Bonneville and the introduction of the G6. Although Pontiac's
November sales declined, deliveries for the calendar year are up 2 percent.
HUMMER - H2 SUT sales have shown continued growth since launch and have
contributed to improving total HUMMER sales in recent months.

Saturn - Vue, bolstered by sales of its Red Line version, continues its solid
sales results with deliveries up 2 percent in November and 8 percent for the
calendar year-to-date. Saturn's November sales and calendar year-to-date sales
are down due to the discontinuation of the L-Series. Relay, Saturn's new
crossover sport van, is arriving in dealers' showrooms, and sales are off to a
good start.

Buick - Sales of Buick's all-new mid-size sedan, the LaCrosse, are strengthening
as production ramps up. Its new crossover sport van, Terraza, posted good sales
in its first month. Buick's November sales were down, however Buick truck sales
for the calendar year are up 16 percent.

Certified Used Vehicles

November sales for all GM certified used vehicle brands, including GM Certified
Used Vehicles, Cadillac Certified Pre-Owned, Used Cars from Saturn and Saab
Certified Pre-Owned, were 46,405 units, up 22 percent from November 2003.
Calendar year-to-date sales are 486,217, up 12 percent from the same period last
year.

GM Certified Used Vehicles, the industry's top-selling manufacturer-certified
used brand, posted the certified category's second-highest monthly sales ever in
November with 40,125 sales, up more than 26 percent from November 2003. This
marks the second consecutive month that GM Certified Used Vehicles surpassed
40,000 units in sales.

GM Certified Used Vehicles continues to lead all certified pre-owned brands
industry-wide with 2004 calendar year-to-date sales of 409,514 units, a 13
percent increase from the same period last year and a new annual sales record
for the certified category. GM Certified also announced this month that
Chevrolet is now the industry's top-selling single-line make certified brand in
the U.S., according to 2004 certified pre-owned segment sales statistics from
Autodata Corp.

Cadillac Certified Pre-Owned Vehicles posted sales of 3,041 units, up 25 percent
compared to year-ago levels. Used Cars from Saturn sold 2,662 units, down 10
percent. Saab Certified Pre-Owned Vehicles sold 577 units, down 27 percent.

"With its second-best sales performance ever in November, GM Certified Used
Vehicles passed the certified category record sales of nearly 400,000 units it
recorded last year and continues to drive the category," Smith said.
"Chevrolet's status as the top-selling single-line make certified used vehicle
is especially noteworthy and is a testament to the excellent value offered by
Chevrolet cars and trucks."

release and related comments by General Motors management, our use of the words

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.
