ITEM 8.01. OTHER EVENTS
On November 3, 2004, General Motors Corporation (GM) issued a news release
announcing October 2004 sales. The release is as follows:
GM Reports October Sales of 346,058, Down 5 Percent
SUV Sales Remain On Record Selling Pace for Calendar Year
Cadillac On Pace for Best Sales Since 1990
DETROIT - General Motors dealers sold 346,058 new cars and trucks in October,
down 5 percent compared to year-ago sales. GM's truck sales (210,996) were down
4 percent and car sales (135,062) were down 5 percent.
"GM's October sales results were not as strong as we had expected, but not
entirely surprising given our exceptionally strong sales in September," said
John Smith, group vice president GM North America Vehicle Sales, Service and
Marketing. "Our launch vehicles performed well in October, as did utilities,
which were up and remain on pace to set another industry record for the calendar
year. We expect stronger car sales in the months ahead as Pontiac G6, Buick
LaCrosse and Chevrolet Cobalt continue ramping up production."
GM Truck Sales
GM's truck sales in October declined 4 percent versus year-ago levels.
Sport utility vehicle deliveries were up 1 percent and maintained their
record-setting sales pace. GM again led the industry in utility sales in
October, surpassing the 100,000-unit sales mark for the seventh month this year.
October utility deliveries were led by strong sales of two new entries, the
Chevrolet Equinox and Cadillac SRX. Mid-size utility sales increased 4 percent,
with strong sales results for Chevrolet TrailBlazer, up 32 percent and GMC
Envoy, which gained 29 percent.
Mid-size pickup deliveries increased 26 percent on the strength of the all-new
Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon. This is the second consecutive month that
medium pickup sales were up 25 percent or more compared to year-ago levels.
GM Car Sales
While GM's total car sales declined 5 percent compared to last October, several
vehicles had year-over-year increases including Cadillac XLR; Chevrolet Malibu,
Impala, Corvette and Monte Carlo; Pontiac Bonneville; and Buick LeSabre.
Additionally, Pontiac G6 and Cadillac STS sales are exceptionally brisk as
production ramps up.
Divisional Highlights
Chevrolet - Chevrolet sales in October were up 4 percent compared to year-ago
levels. Car sales increased 21 percent, paced by Malibu, which had a 157 percent
sales increase over last year. Corvette sales rose 39 percent in October. On the
truck side, in addition to Equinox and Colorado, TrailBlazer had record October
sales, up 32 percent from year-ago levels. Total sales for the calendar year are
up 5 percent, and car sales have risen 15 percent.
Cadillac - Cadillac sales remain on track for its best calendar year sales
results since 1990. October sales were up 3 percent compared to year-ago levels.
Truck sales continued on a record setting pace, improving 17 percent in October
and 54 percent for the calendar year. SRX deliveries were up 115.5 percent, and
Escalade ESV sales were up 24 percent. Total sales are up 9 percent calendar
year-to-date.
GMC - In addition to solid Canyon sales, Envoy had another strong month with
deliveries up 29 percent compared to last year. Despite being off last October's
sales pace (-4 percent), GMC sales for the calendar year-to-date are up 6
percent. GMC remains poised to exceed 600,000 deliveries for the first time in
its history.
Pontiac - While October sales were off 12 percent, Pontiac sales for the
calendar year-to-date are up 5 percent. Car sales for the calendar year have
improved 9 percent, led by Bonneville sales, which continued to improve
year-over-year with a 33 percent sales increase in October and a 38 percent
increase for the calendar year and Grand Prix, with deliveries up 15 percent for
the calendar year.
Certified Used Vehicles
October sales for all GM certified used vehicle brands, including GM Certified
Used Vehicles, Cadillac Certified Pre-Owned, Used Cars from Saturn and Saab
Certified Pre-Owned, were 47,472, up 15 percent from last year. Year-to-date
sales are 439,813, up 11 percent from the same period in 2003.
GM Certified Used Vehicles, the industry's top-selling manufacturer-certified
used brand, set a new monthly sales record for the certified category in October
with 40,666 sales, up more than 16 percent compared to year-ago levels. This
marks the first time any certified brand has surpassed the 40,000 mark in
monthly certified used sales. GM Certified Used Vehicles continues to lead all
certified pre-owned brands with 369,389 sales through October, an 11.5 percent
increase over last year.
Cadillac Certified Pre-Owned Vehicles posted 3,304 sales in October, up 22
percent. Used Cars from Saturn sold 2,796 units, down 1 percent. Saab Certified
Pre-Owned Vehicles had 706 sales, down 20 percent.
"With a record sales month in October, GM Certified Used Vehicles continues to
expand its position as the industry's top-selling certified brand," Smith said.
"GM Certified Used Vehicles sales were up 16 percent in October and more than 11
percent year-to-date, while Cadillac Certified Pre-Owned recorded an impressive
22 percent increase in October."

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 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.
