ITEM 5. OTHER ITEMS
On November 3, 2003, General Motors Corporation (GM) issued a news release
announcing October sales. The release is as follows:
GM Reports October Sales of 363,043, Down 7 Percent
Calendar Year-To-Date Truck Sales on Par with Record 2002 Pace
DETROIT - General Motors Corp. dealers sold 363,043 new cars and trucks in
October in the United States, down 7 percent compared to strong year-ago levels.
GM's overall truck sales (220,374) were down 8 percent over a year ago. Car
sales (142,669) were down 6 percent.
"GM's sales in October fell short of our objectives, partially due to a smaller
industry than expected and in part due to a slight hangover from our very strong
performance in the third quarter," said John Smith, group vice president of GM
Vehicle Sales, Service and Marketing. "Truck sales continued at a strong pace,
particularly the Chevrolet Tahoe and Suburban and the GMC Yukon and Yukon XL.
The momentum we have with our industry-leading truck line-up and recent new
vehicle launches is reflected in market share year-to-date improvement through
September in the majority of our brands, including Chevrolet, Cadillac, GMC,
Saab, Saturn and HUMMER. The increasing availability of our new vehicles such as
the Chevrolet Malibu and Cadillac SRX will help position GM for a strong finish
to the year."
GM Truck Sales
Sales of GM's industry-leading truck lineup were down 8 percent compared to a
strong October last year. Large (23,980) and extra-large utilities (20,056)
again posted strong sales, each up over 26 percent. While total utilities
(105,640) were down 6 percent, this was the sixth time in the last 7 months that
sales of GM utilities surpassed 100,000 units. GM has sold over 1,000,000
utilities for the calendar year-to-date (1,026,213).
GM Car Sales
Despite the 6 percent decline in GM car sales in October, there were several
vehicles that reflected strong sales performance. Sales of GM entry-level cars
improved 23 percent, led by the Chevrolet Cavalier (22,499) with a 55 percent
improvement, and the Pontiac Sunfire (3,586), up 33 percent. Additionally, Saab
9-3 sold 2,357 units, an exceptional 181 percent increase.
Divisional Highlights
Chevrolet - Chevrolet car sales (56,344) improved 11 percent from last year.
Chevrolet continues to lead the mid-size car segment in the U.S. for the
year-to-date, led by strong sales of Impala, which was up 44 percent
year-to-date (231,526). Chevrolet truck sales were led by Tahoe (16,029), which
improved 20 percent, and the Suburban, which was up 25 percent with 12,896
deliveries. Chevrolet sales for the year-to-date (2,207,250) were comparable
(-0.6 percent) with last year.
Cadillac - Cadillac truck sales (6,438) had its best-ever month, up 38 percent
in October, driven by continuing strong sales of the Escalade portfolio. For the
year-to-date, total deliveries (172,325) were up 5 percent, and truck sales
(48,161) improved 18 percent. The two newest additions to Cadillac's portfolio,
the XLR and SRX, are arriving in dealerships and are being well-received by
consumers. Cadillac is on-track to surpass 200,000 unit sales for the calendar
year for the first time since 1994.
GMC - Yukon deliveries in October (7,951) were up 41 percent from year-ago
levels, and Yukon XL sales (7,160) improved 27 percent. As a result of
continuing strong utility sales throughout the year, GMC's calendar year-to-date
sales performance (472,810) improved 2 percent over record year-ago levels.
HUMMER - HUMMER deliveries in October were 3,157 units, which made it the
division's best sales month for the calendar year. Calendar year-to-date sales
were 28,610, up 143 percent. H2 sales in October were 3,072, and for the

percent, with 2,357 units sold.
Pontiac - Grand Am deliveries in October were 11,130, up 40.5 percent from a
year ago. Sunfire sales (3,586) were up 32 percent. Vibe sales for the calendar
year-to-date (50,043) were a 64 percent improvement from last year.
Buick - Buick truck deliveries in October (5,959) were up 23 percent. Calendar
year-to-date, Buick truck sales (57,036) were up 9 percent, and Rendezvous
deliveries (55,891) were up 7 percent.
Certified Used Vehicles
GM Certified Used Vehicles had strong October sales of 34,614 units and
continued its positive sales momentum with calendar year-to-date sales of
337,851 units, up 25 percent from the year-ago period. Cadillac Certified
Pre-Owned Vehicles reported 3,044 sales; Saturn Certified Used Vehicles reported
sales of 2,924 units; and Saab Certified Pre-Owned Vehicles reported 420 sales.
"GM Certified Used Vehicles posted one of its best sales months of 2003, while

calendar year-to-date sales 134 percent," said Smith. "GM's combined certified
used sales for the year are now 403,645, a 27 percent increase from last year.
We are confident that certified sales will have a strong finish to the year."

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.
