ITEM 5. OTHER ITEMS
On January 5, 2004, General Motors Corporation (GM) issued a news release
announcing December sales. The release is as follows:
GM Reports December Sales of 447,900, Down 9 Percent From Record Year-Ago Levels
GM Sets Calendar-Year Truck and Utility Sales Records
Cadillac Has Best Sales Year Since 1990
DETROIT - General Motors dealers sold 447,900 new cars and trucks in December,
down 9 percent compared to record sales levels in December 2002. GM's overall
truck sales (278,406) were down 11 percent. Car sales (169,494) were down 5
percent. In December 2002, GM had exceptional sales results (473,663) and more
than a 32-percent market share.
GM calendar-year sales were down a modest 2 percent in 2003. For the third
consecutive year, GM set an industry sales record for trucks. It also
established a new industry benchmark for sales of sport utility vehicles. Five
of GM's 9 brands had sales gains for the calendar year, led by an 8 percent
sales increase at Cadillac, which had its best sales year since 1990, and GMC's
tenth calendar-year sales record in 11 years.
"Both GM and the industry continue to show significant sales momentum as we head
into the new year," said John Smith, group vice president of GM North America
Vehicle Sales, Service and Marketing. "During the second half of 2003, the
industry selling rate was approximately 17.5 million units, and GM's market
share was above 28.5 percent. Given this momentum and the rapidly improving U.S.
economy, we are optimistic about the outlook for 2004. Supporting our growth
will be the launch of another 13 all-new models this year, including the
Cadillac STS, Chevrolet Equinox and Cobalt, Saab 9-2X, Pontiac G6 and HUMMER H2
SUT."
GM Truck Sales
GM's industry-leading truck lineup posted solid sales in December. While sales
for the month were down 11 percent, last December's truck sales set an all-time
industry record, creating an extraordinarily difficult comparison. Calendar-year
truck sales (2,795,721) were up slightly from record year-ago levels (0.2
percent) and once again established a new industry record. Truck sales for the
month were driven by 97,475 deliveries of full-size pickups (down 12 percent),
which once again led the industry. Although down 11 percent, sales of sport
utility vehicles (131,066) surpassed 100,000 units for the eighth time in the
last 9 months and established a new calendar-year record for the industry. GM
continued to strengthen its sales performance in the important large luxury
utility segment with 11,104 deliveries, led by continuing record sales of the
Cadillac Escalade portfolio (7,292) and a very strong sales month for HUMMER H2
(3,751). Calendar year-to-date sales of GM large luxury utilities (95,002) were
up 37 percent. GM remains the only manufacturer to ever sell more than 1 million
sport utility vehicles and over 2.6 million trucks in a calendar year.
GM Car Sales
GM car sales declined 5 percent from strong year-ago levels. Calendar-year car
sales (1,960,682) also were down 5 percent. In the very competitive mid-size
segment, Impala sales for the calendar year (267,882) were up 35 percent. In the
luxury segment, Cadillac CTS finished the calendar year with 49,392 deliveries,
a 30 percent improvement over last year. Saab had another strong month with
2,479 deliveries of the 9-3 and wrapped up the year with 47,914 total
deliveries, its highest sales since 1987. December sales of entry-level cars
(40,378) improved 18 percent, led by Chevrolet Cavalier (21,662), up 13.5
percent in December and 8 percent calendar year-to-date.
Divisional Highlights
Chevrolet - Chevrolet sales for the calendar year (2,655,777) were up slightly
compared to 2002 (0.5 percent). Car sales for December (73,515) were up 11

calendar-year sales set a new record. Monte Carlo sales were up 3 percent for
the calendar year with 66,976 deliveries. Silverado sales for the calendar year
(684,302) improved 5 percent from 2002. Avalanche deliveries in December totaled
9,364 units, were up 16 percent and set a new monthly sales record. Avalanche

strong December sales (9,206), which was Cadillac's best-ever monthly sales
performance for trucks. Sales of the Escalade portfolio in December were 7,292,
a new monthly record. Car sales for the calendar year (151,298) were led by
record CTS sales (49,392), up 30 percent. Cadillac's success in the luxury
segment is enhanced with the addition of the SRX and XLR, which are arriving in
dealers' showrooms.
GMC - GMC established another annual sales record with 578,783 deliveries, a 3
percent improvement over strong 2002 sales performance. Envoy sales for the

(34,529) were up 83 percent.
Saab - Saab had 47,914 deliveries for the calendar year, a 27 percent
improvement over 2002. This exceptional performance was driven by continued

Additionally, 9-3 sales increased 66 percent for the calendar year, with 34,075
deliveries.

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
