The release is as follows: ITEM 5. OTHER ITEMS GM March Sales Down 4.6%; FS Utilities -- Sixth Straight Month of Double-digit Gains - Best Month Ever for GM Full-size Utilities -- Up 17% - Best Month in 22 Years for GM Full-size Pickups - March Car Sales Down 4% - March Truck Sales Down 5% GM Announces March Production Results; Second Quarter Forecast Remains Unchanged DETROIT -- General Motors dealers sold 442,573 new cars and trucks in March in the United States, down 4.6 percent from March 2000. GM car sales decreased four percent to 213,310 units and truck sales decreased five percent to 229,263 units. GM full-size truck sales continued a strong selling pace in March and in the first quarter of 2001. Full-size utilities continued to post the largest sales gains in the GM lineup in March, with sales up 17 percent. In fact, GM reported its sixth straight month of double-digit sales gains for its full-size sport utilities. The Chevrolet Suburban and Tahoe, GMC Yukon and Yukon XL and Cadillac Escalade all posted individual March records. GM also posted its best monthly sales of GM full-size pickups since March 1979. March sales of the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra climbed seven percent. GM mid utility sales also stayed strong in March with a two percent increase. "Industry sales have held up better than expected despite a backdrop of economic uncertainty and we think this trend will characterize all of 2001," said Bill Lovejoy, group vice president of North America Vehicle Sales, Service and Marketing. "Our first quarter results reflect a number of GM's strengths, most notably continued momentum in our truck portfolio. Without constraints on our outstanding full-size pickups and utilities, our dealers delivered strong sales performances as we saw in the first quarter. We expect that the introduction of our six all-new truck entries in the first half will further strengthen GM's position in the truck market." First Quarter Sales Results For the first quarter of 2001, GM dealers reported a record 16 percent gain in full-size utility sales from year-ago levels, with Chevrolet and GMC full-size utilities posting a best-ever first quarter. Other notable first-quarter sales performances came from GM entries in the midsize segment, including the Chevrolet Impala, which had its best month and first quarter ever. The Saturn L-Series also had record March and first-quarter sales.

For the first quarter 2001, GM produced 1,214,000 vehicles (581,000 cars and 633,000 trucks) in North America, down from 1,521,000 vehicles (746,000 cars and 775,000 trucks) produced in the first quarter 2000. (Production numbers include joint venture results in North America.) GM announced its second-quarter North American production estimate will remain unchanged at 1.3 million vehicles (582,000 cars and 718,000 trucks), a 17 percent decline from the second quarter 2000 when we made 1,568,000 vehicles (787,000 cars and 781,000 trucks). The production estimates are consistent with GM's efforts to align production with demand and reduce inventory levels in a moderating economy. Additionally, GM announced the following second-quarter 2001 production estimates for its international regions: - GM Europe - The second-quarter estimate is 516,000 vehicles, down from the previous estimate of 535,000 vehicles. - GM Asia Pacific - The second-quarter estimate is 65,000 vehicles, up from the previous estimate of 62,000 vehicles. - GM Latin America, Africa and the Middle East - The second-quarter estimate is 167,000 vehicles, up from the previous estimate of 164,000 vehicles.

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 -
