ITEM 5.  OTHER ITEMS

On September 4, 2002, General Motors Corporation (GM) issued a news release
announcing strong August results and U.S. sales up 18 percent. The release is as
follows:

          GM Announces Strong August Results, U.S. Sales Up 18 Percent

Truck Sales Increase 27 Percent, Car Sales Rise 7.6 Percent
GM Trucks Continue On All-Time Industry Record Pace
GM Announces Revised Q3 And Initial Q4 Production Forecast
GM Increases Q3 And Calendar Year Earnings Estimates

DETROIT - General Motors Corp. dealers sold 492,434 new cars and trucks in
August in the United States, up 18 percent over last year. GM reported an
increase in truck sales of 27 percent, and August retail truck deliveries were
up 28 percent. GM remains on track to shatter the calendar year industry truck
sales record. GM's car sales were up 8 percent overall and increased 3 percent
retail. For the year, GM's overall retail sales are up 8 percent and retail
truck deliveries are up 18 percent.

"We experienced an overwhelming response from dealers and customers to our
'Summerdrive' program. Given our constrained inventory, our sales clearly
exceeded our expectations," said Bill Lovejoy, group vice president of North
America Vehicle Sales, Service and Marketing. "Our truck lineup continues on
pace to set the all-time industry record, driven by incredible sales of our
sport utility vehicle lineup. Cadillac continues to strengthen its position in
the luxury market and new entries like the Cadillac CTS and Pontiac Vibe are
improving our competitive position in the passenger car market.

"Quite simply, GM and its dealers are clearly demonstrating leadership in the
marketplace with our simple, compelling marketing programs," said Lovejoy.

GM Truck Sales

GM maintained overall sport utility vehicle leadership with an all-time best
month ever for the industry (132,826), an increase of 60 percent over year-ago
levels. For the calendar year, GM utility vehicle sales are up 34 percent. GM
posted strong midsize utility sales once again, selling 49,381 for the month, a
year-over-year increase of 40 percent. Chevrolet TrailBlazer (22,326), GMC Envoy
(10,706) and Buick Rendezvous (6,366) all maintained their solid sales pace.

GM had an all-time record sales month in full-size utility vehicles (74,281
units), an increase of 73 percent, including 2,556 H2 sales. Despite some tight
inventories, GM had another solid month in full-size pickup sales, delivering
91,036 units, an increase of nearly 15 percent over last August.

GM Car Sales

GM car sales were up 8 percent in August, led by strong performances by
Chevrolet (up 19 percent) and Cadillac (up 41 percent). GM continues to generate
momentum in the luxury vehicle segment with Cadillac division sales up 54
percent over last August and 19 percent for the year.

Certified Used Sales

GM's industry-leading certified used car program sold 42,642 total certified
used vehicles in August, including the Cadillac, Saturn and Saab certified
brands. The GM Certified Used Vehicle brand had another record month, selling
35,129 units. GM has already reached its goal of 200,000 units, with four months
left in the year. "We continue to strengthen the certified used vehicle end of
our business as our GM dealers, GMAC and the entire VSSM organization are making
this program a tremendous success for General Motors," Lovejoy said.

GM Announces Revised Q3 And Initial Q4 Production Forecast

In August, GM produced 500,200 vehicles (215,300 cars and 284,900 trucks) in
North America, compared to 508,000 vehicles (236,000 cars and 272,000 trucks)
produced in August 2001. (Totals include joint venture production of 15,300
vehicles in August and 11,000 vehicles in August 2001.)

GM is increasing its third-quarter production forecast for North America to
1.285 million vehicles (560,600 cars and 724,200 trucks), up 22,800 units from
last month's forecast of 1.262 million units (553,500 cars and 708,500 trucks).
In the third quarter of 2001, GM North America produced 1.238 million units.

GM's initial fourth-quarter production forecast for North America is 1.389
million units (590,900 cars and 798,100 trucks), up more than 7 percent from the
fourth quarter of 2001 when GM produced 1.294 million units (573,000 cars and
721,000 trucks) in North America.

GM also announced its current third-quarter and initial fourth-quarter
production forecasts for its international regions:

GM Europe - GM's current third-quarter production forecast for its European
region is 416,000 vehicles, a decrease of 5,000 vehicles from last month's
forecast. The region's initial fourth-quarter forecast is 465,000 vehicles.

GM Asia Pacific - GM's third-quarter production forecast for the region is
85,000 vehicles, an increase of 6,000 vehicles from the prior forecast. GM Asia
Pacific's initial fourth-quarter production forecast is 73,000 vehicles.

GM Latin America, Africa and the Middle East - The company's third-quarter
forecast for the region is 134,000 vehicles, an increase of 3,000 vehicles from
last month's forecast. The region's initial fourth-quarter forecast is 148,000
units.

GM Increases Q3 And Calendar Year Earnings Estimates

GM is raising its earnings estimates for the third quarter and calendar year as
a result of continued strong industry sales and increased production in North
America through the end of the year. Also contributing to the volume improvement
is the exceptionally good production start-up for GM's full-size pickup and
sport utility trucks through the month of August.

GM now estimates its third-quarter-2002 earnings, excluding Hughes and any
special charges, at slightly more than $1 per share, up from its prior estimate
of $0.90 per share. Including Hughes, but excluding any special charges, the
third quarter estimate is now slightly more than $0.90 per share, up from $0.80
per share previously.

For the full year, GM estimates its 2002 calendar year earnings, excluding
Hughes and special charges, at approximately $6.50 per share, up from $6.00 per
share. Including Hughes, but before any special charges, the revised 2002
calendar year earnings estimate is approximately $6.10 per share, up from $5.60
per share.

GM cars and trucks are sold under the following brands: Chevrolet, Pontiac,
Buick, Oldsmobile, Cadillac, GMC, Saturn, Hummer, Saab, Opel, Vauxhall and
Holden. GM parts and accessories are marketed under the GM, GM Goodwrench and
ACDelco brands through GM Service and Parts Operations.

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-15, 16) 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.
