ITEM 8.01. OTHER EVENTS
On January 4, 2006 General Motors Corporation (GM) issued a news release
announcing December 2005 sales. The release is as follows:
GM Reports 392,041 Deliveries in December
Chevrolet Reclaims Industry Sales Leadership for First Time Since 1986
GM Posts Best Full-Size Pickup Sales in Industry Since 1978
GM Continues Luxury Brand Sales Momentum
HUMMER Caps Record Year with Best-Ever Monthly Sales; Fastest-Growing Brand in
U.S.
Saturn Calendar Year Sales Improvement Led by New Vue
DETROIT - GM in 2005 posted several significant records that point to strong
consumer acceptance of its new products. Chevrolet, led by strong full-size
pickup and launch vehicle sales, was the best-selling vehicle brand in the
United States for the first time since 1986. HUMMER had a record sales year and
was the industry's fastest-growing brand. Saturn ended the year with improved
sales (up 1 percent), setting the stage for 2006, when it will double its
product lineup with three all-new vehicles.
General Motors dealers in the United States sold 392,041 new cars and trucks in
December, down 10 percent from the same month a year ago. Car sales were down 19
percent and truck sales were off 5 percent. Total sales were up 29 percent
compared to November levels. Calendar year sales (4,517,730) were down 4
percent, with car sales off 7 percent and truck deliveries down 2 percent.
"We're thrilled that consumers voted with their pocketbook and made Chevrolet
the number one U.S. brand in 2005," said Mark LaNeve, vice president, GM North
America Vehicle Sales, Service and Marketing. "But we're not going to spend time
celebrating this accomplishment. We're headed right back to the important
business of introducing 19 new vehicles this year and providing buyers with an
industry-leading sales and service experience."
Chevrolet's results were paced by full-size pickup sales and the introduction of
the new Impala, Equinox, HHR and Cobalt. Over the last five years, driven by
consumer response to its revamped product lineup, Chevrolet closed an
850,000-unit sales gap with the competition, a notable accomplishment given the
increasingly competitive nature of the U.S. auto industry. Chevrolet's
continuing strong truck sales and the introduction of important entry-level
vehicles were key to this achievement. Chevrolet's new entry-level vehicles, the
Equinox, HHR, Cobalt and Aveo, increased sales by more than 100,000 units in
2005.
GM posted exceptionally strong full-size pickup sales in December and ended the
year with 998,654 deliveries, less than 1,500 units below the 1 million-unit
sales benchmark. This was the industry's second-best-ever annual sales
performance for full-size pickups, falling just short of the previous GM record
set in 1978 (1,010,688).
In 2005, GM once again experienced a sales increase for all of its luxury
brands. Sales of GM luxury vehicles grew by more than 100,000 units between 2000
and 2005. Cadillac in 2005 had its fourth consecutive year of sales increases
and its best sales performance since 1990, led by record CTS, DTS and STS sales.
Saab achieved a year-over-year sales improvement in 2005. HUMMER capped record
2005 sales with its best-ever monthly sales and the distinction of being the
fastest growing brand in the industry. Positive consumer reaction to the new H3
drove HUMMER's December sales up 112 percent. Calendar-year deliveries were 93
percent greater than last year.
Saturn sales for December were up 13 percent and calendar year deliveries rose 1
percent. The new Vue led this improvement, with sales gains in seven months in
2005. Vue's December sales were up 35 percent and calendar year sales rose 6
percent. Consumers in 2006 will have more choices in the Saturn portfolio, when
it doubles its product lineup and introduces three all-new products, the Aura,
Sky and Outlook, each featuring Saturn's dynamic and inviting design.
"While December was a difficult comparison for us and other manufacturers, by
any measure it still was a solid sales month," LaNeve added. "We're particularly
pleased with the recovery in our sport utility and full-size pickup business. It
gives us renewed confidence as we prepare to launch new vehicles into these key
segments in 2006."
Certified Used Vehicles
Total 2005 sales for GM Certified Used Vehicles, the industry's top-selling
manufacturer-certified brand, were a category record 455,498 units, up 1.3
percent from 2004. This marks the fourth consecutive year that GM Certified Used
Vehicles set an all-time annual sales record for the segment. GM Certified Used
Vehicles posted sales of 38,850 units in December, down 3.6 percent from record
monthly results posted in December 2004. Chevrolet continues to be the
industry's top-selling single-make certified brand with total 2005 sales of
292,301 units.
December 2005 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 44,372 units, down 6 percent from last
December. Cadillac Certified total 2005 sales were 38,595, up 5.5 percent over
2004. Total 2005 certified GM sales were 532,379 units, comparable to last
year's total.
Cadillac Certified Pre-Owned Vehicles posted December sales of 3,332 units, down
8 percent. Used Cars from Saturn sold 1,632 units in December, down 39 percent,
while Saab Certified Pre-Owned Vehicles sold 558 units, down 10 percent.
"GM Certified Used Vehicles, the industry's top selling certified brand, set a
new annual sales record for the manufacturer-certified pre-owned segment for the
fourth consecutive year, up more than 1 percent from last year's all-time high
for the category," LaNeve said. "Certified GM brands again led all manufacturers
with 2005 sales of 532,379 units, and we look forward to growing our leadership
position in the certified segment in 2006."

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.
