On March  1,  2001,  General  Motors  Corporation  (GM)  issued  a news  release
announcing  February  sales  and  production,  as well  as  first and second
quarter  2001 production estimates. The release is as follows:

ITEM 5.  OTHER ITEMS


    GM February Sales Down 9%; Industry Eases From Historical Year-ago Sales

                     - February Car Sales Down 9%
                     - February Truck Sales Down 10%
                     - Full-size Utility Sales Climb 13%

   GM Announces February Production Results; First and Second Quarter Forecast

      DETROIT -- General  Motors  dealers  sold  409,535  new cars and trucks in
February in the United  States,  down nine percent from  February  2000.  GM car
sales fell nine percent to 213,121 units and truck sales decreased 10 percent to
196,414 units.

      "Despite the recent  economic  slowdown  and  anticipated  sales  decline,
consumer  demand is holding  relatively  steady," said Bill Lovejoy,  group vice
president  of  North  America  Vehicle  Sales,   Service  and  Marketing.   "The
extraordinary  19.3  million-unit  vehicle selling rate last February  certainly
raised  the bar for the  industry.  In  general,  we're  encouraged  by a strong
February 2001 GM and industry performance. One important factor in GM's February
results was the support provided by the very competitive  promotional activities
of GM dealers," he said.

      In February,  GM dealers posted a fourth consecutive  monthly increase for
GM full-size  utilities  with sales up 13 percent to 38,609  units.  GM posted a
record for full-size  utility sales,  while the Chevrolet Tahoe and Suburban and
GMC Yukon and Yukon XL each posted individual records for the month.

February Production Totals, 1st and 2nd Quarter 2001 Estimates

      In  February,  GM  produced  361,661  vehicles  (166,895  cars and 194,766
trucks) in North America from 485,055 vehicles (236,869 cars and 248,186 trucks)
produced in February  2000.  Included in those  figures  were  269,732  vehicles
(119,592 cars and 150,140 trucks) produced in the United States in February from
371,015 vehicles (167,646 cars and 203,369 trucks) produced in February 2000. GM
also  produced  62,060  vehicles  (36,950  cars and 25,110  trucks) in Canada in
February  from  85,570  vehicles  (57,078  cars and 28,492  trucks)  produced in
February 2000.

      GM announced its  first-quarter  North American  production  estimate will
remain unchanged at 1.2 million vehicles (566,000 cars and 634,000 trucks).

      Additionally,  GM's second-quarter North American production estimate will
be 1.3 million vehicles (582,000 cars and 718,000 trucks),  a 17 percent decline
from the second quarter 2000 when we made 1,568,000  vehicles  (787,000 cars and
781,000 trucks).

      The  production  estimates  are  consistent  with  GM's  efforts  to align
production with demand and reduce inventory levels in a moderating economy.

      Additionally,  GM announced the following first- and  second-quarter  2001
production estimates for its international regions:

   -  GM Europe - The first-quarter 2001 estimate is 545,000 vehicles, down from
      the previous estimate of 558,000 vehicles. The second-quarter  estimate is
      535,000 vehicles.

   -  GM Asia Pacific - The first-quarter  2001 estimate is unchanged at 53,000.
      The second-quarter estimate is 62,000 vehicles.

   -  GM Latin  America,  Africa and the Middle  East - The  first-quarter  2001
      estimate is 137,000  vehicles,  up from the  previous  estimate of 131,000
      vehicles. The second-quarter estimate is 164,000 vehicles.

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.

Percent change Per selling day calculation is the same as a standard percent
change calculation with the exception of first dividing the units for each
month by their respective selling days. Following is the formula:  ((current
month units/current month's selling days)/(prior month units/prior month's
selling days)) *100-100

On March  1,  2001,  General  Motors  Corporation  (GM)  issued  a news  release
announcing  February  sales  and  production,  as well  as  first and second
quarter  2001 production estimates. The release is as follows:

ITEM 5.  OTHER ITEMS

    GM February Sales Down 9%; Industry Eases From Historical Year-ago Sales

                     - February Car Sales Down 9%
                     - February Truck Sales Down 10%
                     - Full-size Utility Sales Climb 13%

   GM Announces February Production Results; First and Second Quarter Forecast

      DETROIT -- General  Motors  dealers  sold  409,535  new cars and trucks in
February in the United  States,  down nine percent from  February  2000.  GM car
sales fell nine percent to 213,121 units and truck sales decreased 10 percent to
196,414 units.

      "Despite the recent  economic  slowdown  and  anticipated  sales  decline,
consumer  demand is holding  relatively  steady," said Bill Lovejoy,  group vice
president  of  North  America  Vehicle  Sales,   Service  and  Marketing.   "The
extraordinary  19.3  million-unit  vehicle selling rate last February  certainly
raised  the bar for the  industry.  In  general,  we're  encouraged  by a strong
February 2001 GM and industry performance. One important factor in GM's February
results was the support provided by the very competitive  promotional activities
of GM dealers," he said.

      In February,  GM dealers posted a fourth consecutive  monthly increase for
GM full-size  utilities  with sales up 13 percent to 38,609  units.  GM posted a
record for full-size  utility sales,  while the Chevrolet Tahoe and Suburban and
GMC Yukon and Yukon XL each posted individual records for the month.

February Production Totals, 1st and 2nd Quarter 2001 Estimates

      In  February,  GM  produced  361,661  vehicles  (166,895  cars and 194,766
trucks) in North America from 485,055 vehicles (236,869 cars and 248,186 trucks)
produced in February  2000.  Included in those  figures  were  269,732  vehicles
(119,592 cars and 150,140 trucks) produced in the United States in February from
371,015 vehicles (167,646 cars and 203,369 trucks) produced in February 2000. GM
also  produced  62,060  vehicles  (36,950  cars and 25,110  trucks) in Canada in
February  from  85,570  vehicles  (57,078  cars and 28,492  trucks)  produced in
February 2000.

      GM announced its  first-quarter  North American  production  estimate will
remain unchanged at 1.2 million vehicles (566,000 cars and 634,000 trucks).

      Additionally,  GM's second-quarter North American production estimate will
be 1.3 million vehicles (582,000 cars and 718,000 trucks),  a 17 percent decline
from the second quarter 2000 when we made 1,568,000  vehicles  (787,000 cars and
781,000 trucks).

      The  production  estimates  are  consistent  with  GM's  efforts  to align
production with demand and reduce inventory levels in a moderating economy.

      Additionally,  GM announced the following first- and  second-quarter  2001
production estimates for its international regions:

   -  GM Europe - The first-quarter 2001 estimate is 545,000 vehicles, down from
      the previous estimate of 558,000 vehicles. The second-quarter  estimate is
      535,000 vehicles.

   -  GM Asia Pacific - The first-quarter  2001 estimate is unchanged at 53,000.
      The second-quarter estimate is 62,000 vehicles.

   -  GM Latin  America,  Africa and the Middle  East - The  first-quarter  2001
      estimate is 137,000  vehicles,  up from the  previous  estimate of 131,000
      vehicles. The second-quarter estimate is 164,000 vehicles.

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.

Percent change Per selling day calculation is the same as a standard percent
change calculation with the exception of first dividing the units for each
month by their respective selling days. Following is the formula:  ((current
month units/current month's selling days)/(prior month units/prior month's
selling days)) *100-100
