ITEM 5. OTHER ITEMS
On September 3, 2003, General Motors Corporation (GM) issued a news release
announcing August sales. The release is as follows:
GM Reports August Sales of 472,427, Retail Sales up 4 Percent
Record Sales in Trucks, Full-Size Pickups
Monthly Sales Momentum Continues to Build
DETROIT - General Motors Corp. dealers sold 472,427 new cars and trucks in
August in the United States, comparable (down 0.5 percent) to August 2002
levels. GM's retail deliveries were up 4 percent, driven by record truck sales.
GM's overall truck sales (284,129) were up 5 percent over a year ago. Car sales
(188,298) were down 8 percent, reflecting an 18 percent decline in fleet
deliveries.
"GM had another great month in August, due to retail sales that exceeded strong
year-ago levels, " said John Smith, group vice president of GM North America
Vehicle Sales, Service and Marketing. "Importantly, August sales continue to
reflect strong truck sales and growing confidence in the economy. For the fourth
time in the last five months, we set an industry record for total truck sales.
Led by Silverado, our full-size pickups shattered the previous industry sales
record for August. GM's total sales and share have consistently improved over
the last six months, and with the introduction of 17 new 2004 car and truck
models over the next year, our sales momentum will continue to build."
GM Truck Sales
GM's industry-leading truck lineup continues to establish new benchmarks for the
industry. Full-size pickup sales (101,819) posted yet another monthly record,
improving on strong year-ago sales by 18 percent. Overall, GM pickup sales were
122,513, also an improvement of 18 percent. Sales of GM sport utility vehicles
(126,597) were down a modest 2 percent compared to the best-ever industry record
set a year ago. This is the fifth consecutive month in which GM sport utility
sales surpassed 100,000 units. Deliveries of small utilities were up 32 percent,
led by the Saturn VUE. Medium sport utility sales improved 12 percent, and large
luxury utilities were up 10.5 percent as a result of record sales of both the
Escalade family and HUMMER.
GM Car Sales
While GM car sales were down 8 percent, this reduction was largely due to a
decline in fleet deliveries. Importantly, Cadillac CTS (4,278), Chevrolet Impala
(29,236) and Pontiac Vibe (4,402) all had record August sales results. CTS sales
were up 30 percent; Impala sales improved 72.5 percent; and Vibe sales were 14
percent above last year. Chevrolet Monte Carlo (6,936), Pontiac Grand Am
(19,125) and Saab 9-3 (2,885) also had significant sales improvements over last
year.
Retail sales were strong particularly in the entry segment, led by Chevrolet
Cavalier (17,749), which improved 15 percent, and Saturn ION, which sold 11,142
units. In the mid-size segment, retail sales of the Chevrolet Malibu (9,718)
were up 26 percent, and the Impala (17,825) had another exceptional month with
retail sales 49 percent above year-ago levels. Also checking in with strong
retail sales were the Pontiac Grand Am (9,629) with a 21 percent improvement and
the Saturn L-Series (6,431), which was up 31 percent.
Divisional Highlights

sales were led by Impala, which had a 72.5 percent improvement over last year.
Monte Carlo sales were up 20 percent. Sales of Chevrolet trucks set a new
monthly record with 193,223 deliveries. Chevrolet full-size pickups (82,126)
were up 23 percent in August, led by record Silverado deliveries (72,214), which
were up 30 percent. Deliveries of S-10 pickups (16,514) improved 24 percent, and
TrailBlazer had record monthly sales (27,264), up 27 percent.
Cadillac - Cadillac had its best sales month since October 1990. CTS had 4,278

by 18 percent over 2002 results. H2 sales in August were 2,902, an 18 percent
improvement from year-ago levels.

GM's certified used vehicle program had solid sales in August with approximately
38,701 total certified used vehicle sales, including Cadillac, Saturn and Saab
certified brands. "GM Certified Used Vehicles continues to set the pace for the
industry, with overall sales for 2003 up approximately 31 percent from year-ago
levels," Smith said. "We expect continued strong sales of our certified used
vehicles through the fall and remainder of the year."

release and related comments by General Motors management, our use of the words

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 11-18) 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.
