ITEM 8.01. OTHER EVENTS
On November 1, 2005, General Motors Corporation (GM) issued a news release
announcing October 2005 sales. The release is as follows:
GM Reports 257,623 Deliveries in October
Launch Vehicles Continue to Build Sales Momentum
Saturn and HUMMER Post Sales Gains
DETROIT - General Motors dealers in the United States sold 257,623 new cars and
trucks in October, down 23 percent from the same month a year ago. Car sales
declined 12 percent and truck sales were off 30 percent.
"Although a slowdown after the record sales of the last several months was
expected, October was a difficult month for us and the industry," said Mark
LaNeve, GM North America vice president, Vehicle Sales, Service and Marketing.
"On a positive note, we continue to see solid sales results for our launch
vehicles, indicating that consumers recognize the overall value our products
represent. We have committed to consumers that they will receive segment-leading
value in every vehicle we manufacture, including industry-leading fuel economy,
quality and vehicle features and benefits."
GM's new vehicles continue to post solid sales results. Small sport utility
vehicle deliveries in October rose 29 percent with the addition of the Chevrolet
HHR and Pontiac Torrent to the category. Torrent sales have improved each month
since its August launch, with October sales 15 percent higher than September,
despite constrained inventories. HHR continues to bring new customers into the
GM family, with about half of HHR buyers trading in non-GM vehicles. A 17
percent sales increase for the new Saturn Vue also contributed to the positive
sales results in the small utility category. Saturn sales in October were up 11
percent.
H3, the new mid-size HUMMER, continues to drive record sales for the division
and broaden its appeal from a niche brand to a wider audience. About 70 percent
of vehicles traded in by H3 buyers are non-GM models. HUMMER sales were up 129
percent compared to year-ago levels.
Pontiac G6 sales continue to build with October deliveries 135 percent greater
than year-ago levels. Retail sales in October were up 111.5 percent.
The all-new 2006 Chevrolet Impala also is off to a fast sales start, with strong
consumer demand for the Impala SS, with its small-block V8 engine,
displacement-on-demand and 28 mpg fuel economy (highway). Impala retail sales in
October were up 6 percent.
Cadillac DTS achieved its best sales since its launch, with 5,710 deliveries, a
50 percent improvement over September sales.
Certified Used Vehicles
October 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 43,090 units, down 9 percent from last year. Total
year-to-date certified GM sales are 445,555 units, up 1 percent from the same
period last year.
GM Certified Used Vehicles, the industry's top-selling manufacturer-certified
used brand, posted sales of 37,765 units, down 7 percent from the previous
October. Year-to-date sales for GM Certified Used Vehicles are 379,534 units, up
3 percent from the same period in 2004.
Cadillac Certified Pre-Owned Vehicles posted October sales of 2,817 units, down
15 percent from last October. Cadillac Certified year-to-date sales are up 8.5
percent. Used Cars from Saturn in October sold 1,901 units, down 32 percent.
Saab Certified Pre-Owned Vehicles sold 607 units, down nearly 14 percent.
"October was a challenging month, but GM Certified Used Vehicles continues to
lead all manufacturers in the category," LaNeve said. "Calendar year-to-date
sales are 3 percent ahead of last year's record performance. Looking ahead,
we're confident that GM Certified will continue to set the pace for the
certified segment for the remainder of the year."
GM North America Reports October 2005 Production; 2005 Fourth-Quarter
Production Forecast Remains Unchanged
In October, GM North America produced 489,000 vehicles (174,000 cars and 315,000
trucks). This is up 36,000 units or 8 percent from October 2004, when the region
produced 453,000 vehicles (159,000 cars and 294,000 trucks). Production totals
include joint venture production of 29,000 vehicles in October 2005 and 23,000
vehicles in October 2004.
The region's 2005 fourth-quarter production forecast remains unchanged at 1.3
million vehicles (480,000 cars and 820,000 trucks). In the fourth quarter of
2004, the region produced 1.277 million vehicles (466,000 cars and 811,000
trucks).
GM also announced revised 2005 fourth-quarter production forecasts for its
international regions:
GM Europe - GM Europe's revised 2005 fourth-quarter production forecast is
449,000 vehicles, down 9,000 units from last month's guidance. In the fourth
quarter of 2004, GM Europe built 442,000 vehicles.
GM Asia Pacific - GM Asia Pacific's revised 2005 fourth-quarter production
forecast is 446,000 vehicles, down 1,000 units from last month's guidance. In
the fourth quarter of 2004, the region built 386,000 vehicles.
GM Latin America, Africa and the Middle East - The region's revised 2005
fourth-quarter production estimate is 190,000 vehicles, down 2,000 units from
last month's guidance. In the fourth quarter of 2004, the region built 200,000
vehicles.

Note: GM sales and production results are available on GM Media OnLine at

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.
