OTHER EVENTS On April 1, 2005, General Motors Corporation (GM) issued a news release announcing March 2005 sales. The release is as follows: GM Reports 426,114 Deliveries in March Retail Sales Up 34 Percent from February, U.S. Share Improves Full-Size Pickup Sales Lead Industry, Best March Sales Since 1978 New Pontiac G6, Chevrolet Cobalt and Buick LaCrosse All Post Best-Ever Monthly Sales DETROIT - General Motors dealers sold 426,114 new cars and trucks in March with retail sales up 34 percent from February levels, led by strong retail truck sales. Overall, GM sales were down 1 percent on a selling days adjusted basis and up 3 percent on an absolute basis. GM truck sales (255,209) were up 4 percent, and car sales (170,905) were down 9 percent. Total first quarter sales (1,015,142) were down 5 percent. Truck sales in the first quarter (596,866) were down 1.5 percent, and car sales (418,276) were down 9 percent. "We experienced a nice improvement in both sales and share in March led by full-size pickup and launch vehicle sales," said Mark LaNeve, vice president, GM North America Vehicle Sales, Service and Marketing. "Several of our launch vehicles, including Pontiac G6, Buick LaCrosse, Chevrolet Cobalt and Colorado and GMC Canyon, all posted best-ever sales. Cobalt, in particular, had exceptional sales, breaking the 14,000-unit sales mark. We're encouraged by the sales performance of our launch vehicles and are hopeful that sales will continue to gain momentum as consumers become more aware of them and recognize the value they represent." Sales of GM's new models continued to grow month-over-month comprising an increasingly greater percentage of GM deliveries, accounting for 24 percent of March deliveries and 26 percent for the first quarter. Pontiac G6 had its best-ever monthly sales in March, beating its previous high in February by 21 percent. With the anticipated addition of the coupe this summer, availability of 4-cylinder engines and a retractable hardtop convertible in early 2006, G6 sales are expected to continue to strengthen. The new Buick LaCrosse in March had its best sales month since introduction. Total deliveries were up 21 percent compared to February. LaCrosse retail sales again outpaced year-ago combined Century and Regal retail sales achieving a 16.5 percent improvement. Additionally, Buick's new crossover sport van, Terraza, also posted its best-ever monthly sales with a 37 percent increase over February deliveries. Buick plans to introduce its third all-new vehicle in just over a year with the launch of Lucerne later this year. The first launch vehicles in Chevrolet's product blitz of 20 new models are showing strong sales results. Cobalt achieved best-ever sales in March with deliveries that were 66 percent above February results. Production of the Cobalt SS coupe and Cobalt SS sedan is scheduled to begin this summer. Aveo sales were up 34 percent compared to year-ago levels, and Colorado sales rose 58 percent. Chevrolet's new crossover sport van, Uplander, posted its second-best sales month. Continuing its strong sales results, Equinox deliveries in March broke the 10,000-unit mark for the fifth time in the last seven months. Next up for Chevrolet are the new HHR, which is scheduled for introduction in the late summer/early fall of 2005 and the new Impala and Monte Carlo, scheduled to arrive in dealers' showrooms later this year. Highlights of GM's truck sales: Sales of GM's industry-leading truck lineup were up 4 percent in March, led by a 17 percent increase and the best March full-size pickup sales since 1978. Chevrolet Silverado sales climbed 18 percent, and GMC Sierra sales increased 23 percent, setting new March sales records. In the very competitive full-size pickup segment, Silverado and Sierra sales continue to outperform the segment, for which total sales are down for the calendar year-to-date. Mid-size pickup sales rose 38 percent in March, led by best-ever monthly sales of the Chevrolet Colorado (up 58 percent) and GMC Canyon (up 77 percent). In addition to solid sales for the crossover sport vans Chevrolet Uplander and Buick Terraza, Saturn Relay also posted its best sales to date, a 22 percent increase over February deliveries. Highlights of GM's car sales: Consumers continued to respond enthusiastically to Cadillac STS, which achieved its second-best monthly sales since launch. March sales were 31 percent higher than February deliveries. Entry-level car sales in March were up 7 percent, led by strong sales of Chevrolet Aveo and Cobalt and Saturn Ion, which was up 1 percent compared to last year. Pontiac GTO deliveries were up 84 percent compared to year-ago levels, and Chevrolet Corvette sales rose 2 percent. Certified Used Vehicles March sales for all certified GM brands, including GM Certified Used Vehicles, Cadillac Certified Pre-Owned, Used Cars from Saturn and Saab Certified Pre-Owned, were 47,251 units, up 6 percent over last March and the category's second-highest monthly sales performance. Total year-to-date certified GM sales are 132,596 units, up 2 percent over last year's first quarter. GM Certified Used Vehicles, the industry's top-selling manufacturer-certified used brand, posted its third highest sales month on record with strong sales of 40,142 units, up 7 percent from last March. Year-to-date sales for GM Certified Used Vehicles are 113,413, up 4 percent. Cadillac Certified Pre-Owned Vehicles posted its second-best monthly performance with sales of 3,523 units, up more than 18 percent. Used Cars from Saturn sold 2,867 units, down 13 percent. Saab Certified Pre-Owned Vehicles sold 719 units, up 2 percent. "GM continues to set the pace in the certified segment, with the category's second-highest monthly sales performance ever," LaNeve said. "GM Certified Used Vehicles, the number-one selling certified brand, was up 7 percent from last March, and Cadillac Certified Pre-Owned Vehicles posted its second-best monthly sales on record, up 18 percent. We're bullish on the prospects for continued growth through 2005."

In this press release and related comments by General Motors management, our use of the words "expect," "anticipate," "estimate," "forecast," "objective," "plan," "goal" and 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. # # # Detroit -- General Motors dealers in the United States today reported the following vehicle sales: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Calendar Year-to-Date March January -
