ITEM 8.01. OTHER EVENTS
On March 1, 2005, General Motors Corporation (GM) issued a news release
announcing February 2005 sales. The release is as follows:
GM Reports 309,375 Deliveries in February
New Pontiac G6 and Chevrolet Cobalt Achieve Best-Ever Monthly Sales
Small Utility Vehicle Sales Rise 85 Percent Led by Chevrolet Equinox
DETROIT - General Motors dealers sold 309,375 new cars and trucks in February,
down 12 percent compared to year-ago sales. GM's truck sales (179,390) were down
8.5 percent, and car sales (129,985) were down 17 percent.
"The calendar year is starting off slower than expected, for both GM and the
industry," said Mark LaNeve, vice president, GM North America Vehicle Sales,
Service and Marketing. "While our daily rental volume is down significantly
compared to last year, we are pleased with growing retail sales of key launch
vehicles, including the Pontiac G6, Buick LaCrosse, Chevrolet Cobalt and
Equinox, and Cadillac STS. Sales of these products continue to strengthen as
production ramps up. In addition, we are introducing 17 new products in 2005,
which should add to that momentum."
Overall, GM's launch products posted strong sales in February. Pontiac G6 had
its best-ever sales month, with deliveries 72 percent higher than January.
Additionally, sales were up all across the country, and G6 retail sales are
showing an encouraging upward trend.
The newly introduced LaCrosse had its second-best sales month and is
contributing to an improving sales mix for Buick. LaCrosse retail sales were up
48 percent compared to combined year-ago Century and Regal retail sales.
Highlights of GM's trucks: While pickups held their own compared to year-ago
levels, sales increased in mid-size pickups, small utility vehicles and mid-size
vans. GM mid-size pickup sales were up 13 percent in February, paced by a 45
percent improvement in Chevrolet Colorado sales and a 52 percent jump in GMC
Canyon deliveries. Solid Chevrolet Equinox sales led an 85 percent increase in
GM small utilities. Mid-size van sales increased 1 percent compared to year-ago
levels, aided by month-over-month sales increases of the all-new crossover sport
van Chevrolet Uplander (up 59 percent) and Buick Terraza (up 22 percent).
Cadillac Escalade ESV posted a 2 percent sales increase compared to year-ago
levels. GMC Sierra was up 9 percent compared to last February.
Additionally, there were several bright spots in GM's car sales: The recently
introduced Chevrolet Cobalt continued to achieve solid sales with its best-ever
sales month (up 5 percent over January). Aveo deliveries were up 36 percent
versus last February. Pontiac Vibe sales rose 24.5 percent compared to year-ago
levels, and GTO sales increased 63 percent. As production of the Cadillac STS
continues to ramp up, February sales rose 4.5 percent compared to January.
Certified Used Vehicles
February sales for all GM certified used vehicle brands, including GM Certified
Used Vehicles, Cadillac Certified Pre-Owned, Used Cars from Saturn and Saab
Certified Pre-Owned, were 45,286 units, up 6 percent. Total year-to-date
certified GM sales are 85,349 units, comparable to 2004.
GM Certified Used Vehicles, the industry's top-selling manufacturer-certified
used brand, posted strong sales of 38,940 units, up 7 percent compared to
year-ago levels. Year-to-date sales for GM Certified Used Vehicles are 73,271,
up 2 percent.
Cadillac Certified Pre-Owned Vehicles posted sales of 3,152 units, up 20
percent. Used Cars from Saturn sold 2,641 units, down 17 percent. Saab Certified
Pre-Owned Vehicles sold 523 units, down 26 percent.
"February was a great month for GM Certified Used Vehicles, with sales
increasing 7 percent over last February, and year-to-date sales up 2 percent,"
LaNeve said. "GM Certified continues to set the pace for the certified pre-owned
category, and we expect continued growth through the remainder of this year."

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.
