ITEM 8.01. OTHER EVENTS
On December 1, 2005, General Motors Corporation (GM) issued a news release
announcing November 2005 sales. The release is as follows:
GM Reports 281,288 Deliveries in November
Chevrolet Impala, Pontiac G6 and Buick LaCrosse Pace Strengthening Mid-Size
Car Sales
Led by New H3, HUMMER Ranks as Fastest-Growing Brand in U.S.
Pontiac and Saturn Post Double-Digit Sales Gains
DETROIT - General Motors dealers in the United States sold 281,288 new cars and
trucks in November, down 11 percent from the same month a year ago. Car sales
were down 3 percent and truck sales were off 16 percent. Total sales were up 14
percent compared to October levels.
"November was stronger than October for GM and the industry, but certainly not a
barn burner," said Mark LaNeve, vice president, GM North America Vehicle Sales,
Service and Marketing. "We saw improvement throughout the month and look forward
to finishing the year with continued sales momentum."
LaNeve went on to point out the positive impact of new products, like the
Chevrolet Impala and HHR, Pontiac G6 and Buick LaCrosse. "In our business, the
bottom line is great product," he added. "Our new vehicles are hitting home,
which gives us confidence as we get ready to introduce 19 new products in 2006,
many of them in key, high-volume segments."
The revitalized GM mid-size car lineup has been gaining sales momentum in recent
months, with November deliveries up 9 percent. Sales of the most recent addition
to the category, the Chevrolet Impala, were up 14 percent, posting a new
November sales record. Dealer orders have been brisk, exceeding original
expectations.
Pontiac G6 in November achieved its best-ever sales month, with more than 14,000
deliveries and a 56 percent improvement over October sales. Pontiac sales were
up 11 percent in November.
For the 11th time in the last 12 months, the Buick LaCrosse outsold year-ago
combined Century and Regal sales on a retail basis. Buick's all-new luxury
sedan, Lucerne, is arriving in dealerships around the country and posted 2,724
deliveries in November.
Small sport utility vehicle sales in November were up 35 percent, led by the new
Chevrolet HHR, Pontiac Torrent and Saturn Vue. Torrent sales have improved each
month since its August launch, with November sales 26 percent greater than
October. Despite constrained inventories, HHR had its second-best sales month
since launch, with deliveries up 9 percent over October. An 18 percent sales
increase for the new Saturn Vue also contributed to the solid sales results in
the small utility category. Saturn sales in November were up 12 percent.
H3, the new mid-size HUMMER, continues to drive record sales for the division
and positions HUMMER as the fastest-growing brand in the industry for the
calendar year-to-date. HUMMER sales in November were up 114 percent and for the
calendar year are up 90.5 percent.
Certified Used Vehicles
November sales for all certified GM brands, including GM Certified Used
Vehicles, Cadillac Certified Pre-Owned Vehicles, Used Cars from Saturn and Saab
Certified Pre-Owned Vehicles, were 42,455 units, down 8.5 percent. Total
year-to-date certified GM sales are 488,007 units, comparable to the same period
last year.
GM Certified Used Vehicles, the industry's top-selling manufacturer-certified
used brand, posted sales of 37,114 units, down 7.5 percent. Year-to-date sales
for GM Certified Used Vehicles are 416,648 units, up 2 percent from the same
period in 2004.
Cadillac Certified Pre-Owned Vehicles posted November sales of 3,060 units, up
nearly 1 percent. Cadillac Certified year-to-date sales are up 7 percent. Used
Cars from Saturn sold 1,790 units, down 33 percent. Saab Certified Pre-Owned
Vehicles sold 491 units, down nearly 15 percent.
"GM Certified Used Vehicles, the top-selling certified brand, continues to lead
all manufacturers in the category," LaNeve said. "Year-to-date sales are up 2
percent putting us on track to break the industry sales record we established
last year. Looking to December, we're confident that GM Certified will finish
the year strong and continue to set the pace for the certified segment."

Note: GM sales and production results are available on GM Media OnLine at

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 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.
