ITEM 8.01. OTHER EVENTS
On October 3, 2005, General Motors Corporation (GM) issued a news release
announcing September 2005 sales. The release is as follows:
GM Reports 349,202 Deliveries in September
All-New Impala, HHR and Cobalt Lead Into Chevy's Next Wave of Product
Introductions
Pontiac G6 Records Best Sales Month Since Launch
Buick LaCrosse Retail Sales Outpace Year-Ago Century/Regal Retail Deliveries
for 9th Month
H3 Continues to Drive Record HUMMER Sales
DETROIT - General Motors dealers in the United States sold 349,202 new cars and
trucks in September, down 24 percent from the same month a year ago. Car sales
declined 14.5 percent and truck sales were off 29.5 percent.
GM's September sales results were down following a strong performance in June
and July, paced by the GM Employee Discount for Everyone program. September
results also were impacted by comparison to very strong year-ago sales, when GM
ran its "72-Hour Sale," which offered 0 percent financing for 72 months,
resulting in a number of industry sales records.
"We knew going into September that it would be challenging given continued
inventory constraints and compared to exceptionally strong year-ago results,"
said Mark LaNeve, GM North America vice president, Vehicle Sales, Service and
Marketing. "The four-month period of the GM Employee Discount for Everyone drove
a 6 percent increase in sales and pushed inventory levels to record lows. We're
particularly pleased that we continue to experience strong sales of our launch
vehicles, led by the HUMMER H3, Pontiac G6, Cadillac DTS and Chevrolet Impala
and HHR, which our dealers tell us are moving off their lots as quickly as they
arrive from the plant."
As Chevrolet begins its second wave of product introductions with an additional
10 new vehicles by the end of 2006, the new Impala, HHR and Cobalt continue to
build sales momentum. Impala deliveries have been very strong as production
continues to ramp up, achieving turn rates over 43 percent. September sales of
the 2006 Impala totaled 18,603 units. HHR sales in September were 55 percent
greater than August and also are spending little time in dealers' inventories,
with a turn rate over 40 percent. Cobalt sales continue at a brisk pace despite
very low inventories, and it is drawing new owners into the GM family with more
than 40 percent of its sales for the calendar year-to-date coming from non-GM
owners.
Other GM launch vehicles also continue to build momentum in the market. H3 is
driving record HUMMER sales performance and appealing to new GM customers. About
70 percent of H3 buyers previously were not GM owners. HUMMER's September
deliveries were up 128 percent compared to last year, and H2 sales hit a
milestone in September with delivery of the 100,000th vehicle.
Retail sales of the Buick LaCrosse for the ninth consecutive month surpassed
year-ago combined retail sales for Century and Regal.
Pontiac G6 recorded its best sales since launch, with 13,422 deliveries,
bolstered by the arrival of the G6 coupe.
Saturn's September sales were up 8 percent, spurred by an 18 percent increase in
sales of the new Vue, which also is experiencing high turn rates and low
inventory.
GM continues to rebuild its inventories, which at the end of September were
approximately 818,000 units.
Certified Used Vehicles
September sales for all certified GM brands, including GM Certified Used
Vehicles, Cadillac Certified Pre-Owned Vehicles, Used Cars from Saturn and Saab
Certified Pre-Owned Vehicles, were 41,532 units, down 5 percent from last
September. Total year-to-date certified GM sales are 402,469 units, up nearly 3
percent from the same period last year.
GM Certified Used Vehicles, the industry's top-selling manufacturer-certified
used brand, posted sales of 35,416 units, down 4 percent from the previous
September. Year-to-date sales for GM Certified Used Vehicles are 341,769 units,
up 4 percent.
Cadillac Certified Pre-Owned Vehicles posted September sales of 2,924 units,
down 11 percent from last September. Cadillac Certified year-to-date sales are
up 10 percent over the same period in 2004. Used Cars from Saturn sold 2,336
units, down 17 percent. Saab Certified Pre-Owned Vehicles sold 856 units, up
nearly 12 percent.
"September completes an outstanding third quarter for GM Certified Used
Vehicles, the industry's top-selling certified brand, which established a new
all-time quarterly sales record for the category with 122,039 units sold,"
LaNeve said. "Looking ahead, we're confident that GM Certified will continue to
set the pace for the certified segment in the coming quarter."

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-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
