ITEM 5. OTHER ITEMS
On November 1, 2001, General Motors Corporation (GM) issued a news release
announcing October production results and fourth quarter production plans. The
release is as follows:
GM October 'Keep America Rolling' Sales Up 31%
----------------------------------------------
- Best Sales Since September 1986
- GM October Truck Sales up 47%, GM Car Sales up 16%
- GM SUVs Continue on Industry Record Pace
- Total Sales up despite decline in fleet sales
GM Announces October Production Results and Fourth Quarter Production Plans
DETROIT -- General Motors dealers sold 554,652 new cars and trucks in
October in the United States, spurred on by GM's Keep America Rolling program.
Vehicle sales were significantly stronger than expected, keeping the industry on
pace for the third-best year ever. GM October sales were the best since
September 1986.
"What else can you say about October sales but WOW! Keep America Rolling
clearly brought buyers into our dealerships with GM sales up 31 percent, despite
a decline of 60 percent in daily rental fleet sales," said Bill Lovejoy, group
vice president of North America Vehicle Sales, Service and Marketing. "Our
intent was to promote a clear, simple program that would make a significant
impact. Not only did we exceed all sales expectations but early indications show
a significant increase in new buyer conquest rates, proof once again that GM
products being launched this year are bringing in new customers."
Lovejoy continued, "These outstanding results would not have been possible
without our dealers strong support and local promotional efforts."
GM TRUCK SALES HIGHLIGHTS
-------------------------
GM increased its industry truck leadership with 310,538 sales in October
(up 47 percent), an all-time monthly sales record, putting GM on pace to have
its best truck sales year in history. For October, GM's industry-leading truck
lineup was led once again by midsize utilities, full-size utilities and
full-size pickups, which all reported records. The strongest results in October
came from sport utility vehicle (SUV) sales, keeping GM on pace to set an
all-time industry SUV calendar year record. GM's full-size utilities (64,894
units - up 63 percent over last year) dominated the industry once again in
October led by the Chevrolet Tahoe and Suburban, GMC Yukon, Yukon XL as well as
the all-new Cadillac Escalade.
GM's all-new midsize SUVs, the Chevrolet TrailBlazer, GMC Envoy,
Oldsmobile Bravada and Buick Rendezvous continued to gain sales momentum,
increasing GM's midsize utility sales (56,323 units) by 47 percent over last
October. GM also maintained its leadership in full-size pickups in October
(129,805 units - up 103 percent over last year) and is on pace for the best year
since 1978. GM expects its total truck sales leadership performance to continue
through the end of the year with Buick Rendezvous, Chevrolet Avalanche and
Cadillac Escalade all increasing in availability.
GM Car Sales Highlights
-----------------------
In October, GM car sales of 244,113 were up 16 percent. For the month
Cadillac achieved its best October retail car sales since 1993. In addition,
solid sellers, Chevrolet Impala, Malibu and Cavalier, as well as the Pontiac
Grand Am remained in the top-10 best selling cars CYTD. Furthermore, GM is
expecting to build momentum in the luxury and entry level markets with all-new
vehicles, Cadillac CTS, Saturn Vue and Pontiac Vibe coming to market within the
next few months.

GM reported another strong sales month of approximately 16,900 total used
certified vehicles, including the Cadillac and Saturn certified brands. The GM
Certified Used Vehicle brand achieved record numbers for the fifth consecutive
month exceeding 13,800 sales.
GM Announces October Results and Fourth Quarter Production Plans
----------------------------------------------------------------
In October, GM produced 485,500 vehicles (215,500 cars and 270,000
trucks) in North America, down from 527,000 vehicles (261,000 cars and 266,000
trucks) produced in October 2000. (Production totals include joint venture
production of 10,000 vehicles in October 2001 and 13,000 vehicles in October
2000.)
Because GM's Keep America Rolling campaign has led to two strong months of
retail sales, GM is reaffirming its previous fourth-quarter production guidance
of 1.27 million vehicles (563,000 cars and 707,000 trucks).
GM also announced the following production estimates for its international
regions:
o GM Europe - The fourth-quarter estimate is 439,000 vehicles,
unchanged.
o GM Asia Pacific - The fourth-quarter estimate is 77,000
vehicles, down from the previous estimate of 83,000 vehicles.
o GM Latin America, Africa and the Middle East -The fourth-quarter
estimate is 122,000 vehicles, down from the previous estimate of
145,000 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.
