announcing November sales. The release is as follows:
GM Reports November Sales of 363,181, Up 22 Percent
Truck Sales Up 30 Percent; GM Sets Monthly Utility Sales Record for Industry
Cadillac Has Best November Sales Since 1989
DETROIT - General Motors dealers sold 363,181 new cars and trucks in November,

"GM's November sales reflected substantial increases across nearly every

America Vehicle Sales, Service and Marketing. "We've achieved year-over-year
gains at Chevrolet, GMC, Saab, HUMMER and Cadillac, with Cadillac on track to
achieve sales of over 200,000 units for the first time in nearly 10 years. With
great new vehicles like the Chevrolet Malibu and Malibu Maxx, Cadillac SRX and
XLR, GMC Canyon, Pontiac GTO and Buick Rainier and the launch of 12 all-new cars
and trucks next year, we feel like we're really hitting on all cylinders as we
wrap up 2003."

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

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

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.
