GM Global Leadership e-newsletter
Volume 2, Issue 4


Welcome!  This e-newsletter  is  published  by  GM Internal  Communications  for
General Motors executives  worldwide.  Its purpose is to summarize  important GM
news and provide insights on leadership.

Rick  Wagoner  on  e-commerce:  "This is a huge  initiative  for us.  It has the
opportunity  to affect every aspect of our business.  A great example of that is
TradeXchange  -- taking a core GM process  and  turning  it into an  interesting
business  opportunity on the Internet.  But the biggest aspect of all e-business
is what this means  internally  -- how we use e-tools,  how we run our business,
how we interact with our  employees,  customers,  suppliers and dealers.  That's
going to be the  biggest  return for us, and we've  really  taken some big steps
forward in this area. I am proud of the  outstanding  teamwork  displayed by our
people and the progress we are making."

The most  beautiful  car:  An  international  jury of  journalists,  artists and
designers have designated the new Opel Astra Coupe The Most Beautiful Car In The
World.  Hans Seer,  Opel's Director of Design,  received the award in a ceremony
during the international  exhibition "Design in Motion 2000" at the Triennale in
Milan, Italy. Opel's elegant sporty newcomer is built by Bertone,  the respected
Italian  coachbuilding and design specialists near Turin,  Italy, and will go on
sale throughout Europe in spring 2000.

New York auto show:  Seven of the nine GM concept  vehicles  introduced  in 2000
will be  exhibited  for the first  time  together  during the New York auto show
April 22-30. They include the GMC Terradyne,  Oldsmobile Profile, Cadillac Imaj,
Opel CV1, Opel Zafira Snowtrekker, and two alternative fuel vehicles - Triax and
Precept. Also, two e-vehicle technologies will be shared - Cadillac Infotainment
System and OnStar Personal Calling.

Global employee  census:  In keeping with the spirit of being "one company," and
acknowledging  the  need  to  listen  better  to  all of  our  employees,  GM is
transitioning  from a multiple  survey  process  across the  regions to a common
global census.  The Global Census Launch Team has partnered  with  International
Survey Research (ISR) to align the survey with GM's vision and values, and to be
able to normalize results within national cultures.  The survey will have a core
of global and regional  questions  as well as a section that  provides for local
flexibility.  All GM employees will  participate in the census in June; the data
will be ready for executive review and leadership roll-outs by mid-September.

Global  climate  coalition:  GM has decided not to renew its  membership  in the
Global Climate  Coalition  (GCC). In a letter to the GCC,  Dennis R. Minano,  GM
vice president, Environment & Energy, and chief environmental officer, indicated
that GM will  continue to be active in the global  climate  public policy arena.
Minano also outlined GM's position,  summarized as follows: GM believes there is
enough  cause for  concern  to take  actions to address  global  greenhouse  gas
emissions and the risk from  potential  change;  GM is  aggressively  developing
advanced  technologies for its products and implementing  energy  efficiency and
greenhouse gas reduction  strategies in its plants;  GM believes the development
of new,  cost-effective  technologies is the most effective  long-term response;
and GM continues to oppose ratification of the Kyoto Protocol as well as command
and control regulation such as CAFE.

GM puts the "stock"  back in stock car racing:  GM  Powertrain  and the American
Speed  Association  (ASA) are putting the "stock"  back in stock car racing with
the racing debut of the  production-based  Vortec ASA 5700 V8 engine. The engine
powers  all race  cars in the 2000 ASA  ACDelco  Challenge  Series.  The  Vortec
engines'  low cost and  high-performance  will  allow the ASA  series to improve
competition.  The reliable,  durable,  Vortec engines are identical for all race
teams, putting the competitive  advantage in the driver's hands. The engines are
also about one-third the cost of the series' previous privately built V-6 units,
which  allows more teams to enter.  A benefit to GM will be the  opportunity  to
evaluate one of its most prized engines in a demanding,  high-load  environment.
More   information   on   the   ASA   5700   V8   engine   can   be   found   on
