ITEM 5. OTHER EVENTS

         On September 15, 2000,  General  Motors  Corporation  (GM) and American
Isuzu Motors Inc.  (AIMI)  issued a press release to announce a joint venture to
consolidate  Isuzu and General  Motors  medium-duty  commercial  vehicle  sales,
service,  and  marketing  functions  in the  United  States.  The  release is as
follows:

American  Isuzu Motors Inc.  And General  Motors  Corporation  Announce New
Commercial Vehicle Sales Organization

CERRITOS,  Calif. --- American Isuzu Motors Inc. (AIMI) and General Motors Corp.
(GM) today  announced a joint venture to  consolidate  Isuzu and General  Motors
medium-duty  commercial  vehicle sales,  service and marketing  functions in the
United  States.  The new  company,  which will be known as General  Motors Isuzu
Commercial  Truck,  LLC (GMICT),  is designed to better meet dealer and customer
needs, ensuring long-term growth and profitability in the medium-duty commercial
vehicle segment.

The new  venture  will be based in  Cerritos,  Calif.,  and will have a business
center in Pontiac,  Mich. and regional offices around the country.  Ownership of
the  venture  will be shared 51% Isuzu and 49% GM and  managed by a  five-person
board consisting of two Isuzu representatives,  two GM representatives and James
C. Underwood, who has been elected President, Chief Operating Officer of General
Motors Isuzu Commercial Truck.

The new organization  was created to take advantage of established  strengths of
both  companies  and  will  seek  improved  operational   efficiencies  for  the
Chevrolet,  GMC and Isuzu dealer networks.  The Chevrolet,  GMC and Isuzu brands
will remain intact and  advertising  and sales  promotion  will be developed and
implemented jointly.

GMICT will benefit from Isuzu's expertise in the commercial  vehicle market, its
flexible and  responsive  organization,  and strong retail  marketing  approach.
Likewise,  the new company  will benefit from  General  Motors'  strong  product
portfolio and strong brand management system.

With the combined  Chevrolet,  GMC and Isuzu medium-duty truck dealers,  the new
company will serve over 750 total dealerships.  In 1999 this group represented a
combined total sales of  approximately  55,000  medium-duty  (Class 3-7) trucks.
General   Motors   Isuzu   Commercial   Truck   will  also  draw  upon   Isuzu's
industry-leading  sales,  technical and engineering support to enable dealers to
provide their customers with a high level of service.

General  Motors  Isuzu  Commercial  Truck is the latest in the  cooperative  and
successful  business  practices  General Motors and the Isuzu companies began in
1971. This new venture,  which will commence business today, September 15, 2000,
will  position  General  Motors  and Isuzu to respond  to  worldwide  automotive
consolidations  and  increasing  competitive  pressure  from domestic and import
truck manufacturers.
