ITEM 5.  OTHER ITEMS

On August 1, 2001, General Motors Corporation (GM) issued a news release
announcing July production results and third quarter forecast. The release is as
follows:

         GM Continues to Build Momentum in Truck Sales: SUVs on Pace to
                          Set All-Time Industry Record

                  -  Industry on Pace for Third-Best All-Time Sales
                  -  GM Truck Sales Up 2%; Passenger Cars Down 19%
                  -  Overall July Sales Down 9%

         GM Announces July Production Results and Third Quarter Forecast

      DETROIT -- General Motors dealers sold 360,881 new cars and trucks in July
in the United States, a 9 percent decline from July 2000.

      "As expected industry sales continued to moderate in July especially when
compared with last year's record results but the market is on track for the
industry's third-best sales year," said Bill Lovejoy, group vice president of
North America Vehicle Sales, Service and Marketing. "GM's industry leading
lineup of truck brands continued to build momentum in an intensely competitive
market where product quality, improved productivity and outstanding efforts by
our dealers to satisfy customers are keys to our success. However, GM sales in
July were negatively impacted by lower passenger car stocks in dealer
inventories."

GM Sales Highlights
-------------------
      GM continued to gain momentum in truck sales led by midsize utilities,
full-size utilities and full-size pickups. The strongest results in July came
once again from sport utility vehicle (SUV) sales, putting GM on pace to set an
all-time industry SUV calendar year sales record. GM's total utility sales of
74,319 and medium utility sales of 32,766 are both records for July. GM's
full-size utilities and full-size pickups continued to post impressive sales
numbers, 37,548 and 67,313 respectively. Cadillac Escalade had another strong
month helping GM again lead the industry in full-size utilities. GM's all-new
midsize SUV lineup, the Chevrolet TrailBlazer, GMC Envoy and Oldsmobile Bravada
all saw sales build significantly in July.

      As the second half continues to unfold, GM expects to accelerate its
strong truck sales performance as new and innovative entries Buick Rendezvous,
Chevrolet Avalanche and Cadillac Escalade increase in availability.

GM Announces July and 3rd-Quarter 2001 Estimate
-----------------------------------------------

      In July, GM produced 281,000 vehicles (127,000 cars and 154,000 trucks) in
North America, up from 259,000 vehicles (139,000 cars and 120,000 trucks)
produced in July 2000. (Production totals include joint venture production of
5,500 vehicles in July 2001 and 8,000 vehicles in July 2000.)

      GM announced that the third-quarter production estimate will be revised
down to 1.230 million vehicles (567,000 cars and 663,000 trucks) from 1.235
million vehicles (572,000 cars and 663,000 trucks). It is a 6.7 percent decline
from the 1.319 million vehicles (689,000 cars and 630,000 trucks) GM produced in
the third quarter of 2000.

      The forecast change was caused by an overbuild of vehicles in the
second quarter and the slowing of the market in July.

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

      -  GM Europe - The third-quarter estimate is 387,000, up from the previous
         estimate of 385,000 vehicles.

      -  GM Asia Pacific - The third-quarter estimate is 81,000 vehicles, up
         from the previous estimate of 77,000.

      -  GM Latin America, Africa and the Middle East - The third-quarter
         estimate is 157,000 vehicles, down from the previous estimate of
         166,000.

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 August 1, 2001, General Motors Corporation (GM) issued a news release
announcing July production results and third quarter forecast. The release is as
follows:

         GM Continues to Build Momentum in Truck Sales: SUVs on Pace to
                          Set All-Time Industry Record

                  -  Industry on Pace for Third-Best All-Time Sales
                  -  GM Truck Sales Up 2%; Passenger Cars Down 19%
                  -  Overall July Sales Down 9%

         GM Announces July Production Results and Third Quarter Forecast

      DETROIT -- General Motors dealers sold 360,881 new cars and trucks in July
in the United States, a 9 percent decline from July 2000.

      "As expected industry sales continued to moderate in July especially when
compared with last year's record results but the market is on track for the
industry's third-best sales year," said Bill Lovejoy, group vice president of
North America Vehicle Sales, Service and Marketing. "GM's industry leading
lineup of truck brands continued to build momentum in an intensely competitive
market where product quality, improved productivity and outstanding efforts by
our dealers to satisfy customers are keys to our success. However, GM sales in
July were negatively impacted by lower passenger car stocks in dealer
inventories."

GM Sales Highlights
-------------------
      GM continued to gain momentum in truck sales led by midsize utilities,
full-size utilities and full-size pickups. The strongest results in July came
once again from sport utility vehicle (SUV) sales, putting GM on pace to set an
all-time industry SUV calendar year sales record. GM's total utility sales of
74,319 and medium utility sales of 32,766 are both records for July. GM's
full-size utilities and full-size pickups continued to post impressive sales
numbers, 37,548 and 67,313 respectively. Cadillac Escalade had another strong
month helping GM again lead the industry in full-size utilities. GM's all-new
midsize SUV lineup, the Chevrolet TrailBlazer, GMC Envoy and Oldsmobile Bravada
all saw sales build significantly in July.

      As the second half continues to unfold, GM expects to accelerate its
strong truck sales performance as new and innovative entries Buick Rendezvous,
Chevrolet Avalanche and Cadillac Escalade increase in availability.

GM Announces July and 3rd-Quarter 2001 Estimate
-----------------------------------------------

      In July, GM produced 281,000 vehicles (127,000 cars and 154,000 trucks) in
North America, up from 259,000 vehicles (139,000 cars and 120,000 trucks)
produced in July 2000. (Production totals include joint venture production of
5,500 vehicles in July 2001 and 8,000 vehicles in July 2000.)

      GM announced that the third-quarter production estimate will be revised
down to 1.230 million vehicles (567,000 cars and 663,000 trucks) from 1.235
million vehicles (572,000 cars and 663,000 trucks). It is a 6.7 percent decline
from the 1.319 million vehicles (689,000 cars and 630,000 trucks) GM produced in
the third quarter of 2000.

      The forecast change was caused by an overbuild of vehicles in the
second quarter and the slowing of the market in July.

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

      -  GM Europe - The third-quarter estimate is 387,000, up from the previous
         estimate of 385,000 vehicles.

      -  GM Asia Pacific - The third-quarter estimate is 81,000 vehicles, up
         from the previous estimate of 77,000.

      -  GM Latin America, Africa and the Middle East - The third-quarter
         estimate is 157,000 vehicles, down from the previous estimate of
         166,000.

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
