OTHER ITMES GM Vehicle Sales Decrease 8% in November o GM Car Sales Down 9% o GM Truck Sales Down 8% o GM Trucks - Best CYTD o Utility Sales Up 10% CYTD DETROIT -- General Motors sold 320,992 new cars and trucks in November, down eight percent from last year. GM truck sales decreased eight percent to 163,214 units from November 1999 -- the best November in history for GM truck sales -- and car sales abated nine percent to 157,778 units. "We anticipated that industry sales would moderate in the second half compared to last year's record pace, and while demand is moderating, sales remain healthy on an historical basis," said Bill Lovejoy, group vice president of North America Vehicle Sales, Service and Marketing. "In this extremely competitive industry, we are working hand-in-hand with our dealers to focus our products in key markets that offer consumers outstanding value." An important element of GM's performance remains in growing sales in the truck market and the corporation is on track to set an all-time record for truck sales this calendar year. Consumer demand for GM full-size utilities was evident in November as sales climbed 20 percent from the year-ago month. CYTD sales also remain strong for the Chevrolet Tahoe and Suburban and the GMC Yukon and Yukon XL. CYTD sales for GM's entire utility lineup rose 10 percent. Full-size van sales also performed well CYTD, with sales rising 11 percent for the period. Calendar-year-to-date Performance - --------------------------------- GM set a new record for CYTD-November truck sales, boosting sales two percent for the period. Total vehicle sales for the period rose one percent while car sales dipped one percent. Sales of vehicles in key* car and truck segments continued to fuel GM's sales strength through November. Overall, GM key segment sales climbed four percent in the CYTD period. Mid utility sales led the way with a 12 percent sales hike for the period, followed by full-size utilities, which rose seven percent.

While these statements represent our current judgement on what the future may hold, and we believe these judgements 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. 2-1P GM Car Deliveries - (United States) November 2000 - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
