On April 3, 2001, General Motors Corporation (GM) issued a news release
announcing March sales and production, as well as second quarter 2001 production
estimates. The release is as follows:
ITEM 5. OTHER ITEMS
GM March Sales Down 4.6%; FS Utilities -- Sixth Straight
Month of Double-digit Gains
- Best Month Ever for GM Full-size Utilities -- Up 17%
- Best Month in 22 Years for GM Full-size Pickups
- March Car Sales Down 4%
- March Truck Sales Down 5%
GM Announces March Production Results; Second Quarter Forecast
Remains Unchanged
DETROIT -- General Motors dealers sold 442,573 new cars and trucks in
March in the United States, down 4.6 percent from March 2000. GM car sales
decreased four percent to 213,310 units and truck sales decreased five percent
to 229,263 units. GM full-size truck sales continued a strong selling pace in
March and in the first quarter of 2001.
Full-size utilities continued to post the largest sales gains in the GM
lineup in March, with sales up 17 percent. In fact, GM reported its sixth
straight month of double-digit sales gains for its full-size sport utilities.
The Chevrolet Suburban and Tahoe, GMC Yukon and Yukon XL and Cadillac Escalade
all posted individual March records.
GM also posted its best monthly sales of GM full-size pickups since March
1979. March sales of the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra climbed seven
percent. GM mid utility sales also stayed strong in March with a two percent
increase.
"Industry sales have held up better than expected despite a backdrop of
economic uncertainty and we think this trend will characterize all of 2001,"
said Bill Lovejoy, group vice president of North America Vehicle Sales, Service
and Marketing. "Our first quarter results reflect a number of GM's strengths,
most notably continued momentum in our truck portfolio. Without constraints on
our outstanding full-size pickups and utilities, our dealers delivered strong
sales performances as we saw in the first quarter. We expect that the
introduction of our six all-new truck entries in the first half will further
strengthen GM's position in the truck market."
First Quarter Sales Results
For the first quarter of 2001, GM dealers reported a record 16 percent
gain in full-size utility sales from year-ago levels, with Chevrolet and GMC
full-size utilities posting a best-ever first quarter.
Other notable first-quarter sales performances came from GM entries in the
midsize segment, including the Chevrolet Impala, which had its best month and
first quarter ever. The Saturn L-Series also had record March and first-quarter
sales.

March Production Totals, 2nd Quarter 2001 Estimates
In March, GM produced 460,000 vehicles (217,000 cars and 243,000 trucks)
in North America, down from 581,000 vehicles (284,000 cars and 297,000 trucks)
produced in March 2000. For the first quarter 2001, GM produced 1,214,000
vehicles (581,000 cars and 633,000 trucks) in North America, down from 1,521,000
vehicles (746,000 cars and 775,000 trucks) produced in the first quarter 2000.
(Production numbers include joint venture results in North America.)
GM announced its second-quarter North American production estimate will
remain unchanged at 1.3 million vehicles (582,000 cars and 718,000 trucks), a 17
percent decline from the second quarter 2000 when we made 1,568,000 vehicles
(787,000 cars and 781,000 trucks).
The production estimates are consistent with GM's efforts to align
production with demand and reduce inventory levels in a moderating economy.
Additionally, GM announced the following second-quarter 2001
production estimates for its international regions:
- GM Europe - The second-quarter estimate is 516,000 vehicles, down from
the previous estimate of 535,000 vehicles.
- GM Asia Pacific - The second-quarter estimate is 65,000 vehicles, up
from the previous estimate of 62,000 vehicles.
- GM Latin America, Africa and the Middle East - The second-quarter
estimate is 167,000 vehicles, up from the previous estimate of 164,000
vehicles.

In this press 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 judgement on what the
future may hold, and we believe these judgements 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.

Percent change Per selling day calculation is the same as a standard percent
change calculation with the exception of first dividing the units for each month
by their respective selling days. Following is the formula: ((current month
units/current month's selling days)/(prior month units/prior month's selling
days)) x 100-100
* American Isuzu Motors, Inc., dealer sales of commercial vehicles distributed
by General Motors Corporation as reported to General Motors by American Isuzu

Please Note: The Light sub-totals will be different than reported the prior
year due to the implementation of 2001 Segmentation, which moved some Light
Trucks to Medium.
