     Re: Enforceability Opinion

Ladies and Gentlemen:

          We are issuing this opinion letter in our capacity as special counsel to Capital Auto Receivables LLC (the “Depositor”) and GMAC LLC (“GMAC”) in connection with the issuance of Offered Notes (as defined on Exhibit A hereto), Class B Notes and Class C Notes (each as defined on Exhibit B hereto) and Privately Placed Notes (as defined on Exhibit C hereto) by Capital Auto Receivables Asset Trust 2007-2 (the “Issuing Entity”) pursuant to an Indenture (the “Indenture”), to be dated as of the Issuance Date (as defined below) between the Issuing Entity and The Bank of New York Trust Company, N.A., as indenture trustee (the “Indenture Trustee”), and certificates (the “Certificates”) pursuant to a Trust Agreement (the “Original Trust Agreement”), dated as of August 10, 2007, to be amended and restated as of the Issuance Date (as defined below) (the “Trust Agreement”), between the Depositor and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Delaware, as owner trustee. The Certificates will be initially retained by the Depositor, and may be subsequently sold by the Depositor in one or more separate transactions intended to be exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”). The Class B Notes and the Class C Notes will initially be retained by the Depositor. The Privately Placed Notes will be sold by the Depositor in one or more separate transactions intended to be exempt from the registration requirements of the Act. Only the Offered Notes are being offered for sale in a transaction pursuant to the registration requirements of the Act.

     The Issuing Entity intends to issue the Offered Notes on or about August 23, 2007 (the “Issuance Date”).

     We are generally familiar with the proceedings required to be taken in connection with the proposed authorization, issuance and sale of the Offered Notes, and in order to express the

opinion hereinafter stated, we have, among other things, examined and relied, to the extent we deem proper, on the following documents:

     (i) a copy of the registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-105077) that was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) pursuant to Rule 415 under the Act on May 8, 2003, as amended by Pre-Effective Amendment No. 1 on May 16, 2003, by Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 on February 1, 2006, by Post-Effective Amendment No. 2 on February 2, 2006, and by Post-Effective Amendment No. 3 on December 4, 2006 with respect to asset-backed notes and certificates, including the Offered Notes, to be issued and sold in series from time to time, including the exhibits thereto, in the form in which it most recently became effective.

     (ii) a copy of the preliminary prospectus supplement and the prospectus related thereto, each dated August 15, 2007, relating to the Offered Notes that was filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b)(5) under the Act on August 15, 2007, a copy of a form of prospectus supplement dated August 15, 2007 relating to the Offered Notes substantially in the form to be filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b)(5) under the Act, and the prospectus dated April 17, 2007 relating thereto;

     (iii) the forms of offering memoranda relating to the Privately Placed Notes intended to be exempt from the registration requirements of the Act;

     (iv) the Original Trust Agreement and a form of the Trust Agreement;

     (v) a form of the Trust Sale and Servicing Agreement among the Depositor, GMAC, as servicer, and the Issuing Entity (the “Trust Sale and Servicing Agreement”);

     (vi) a form of the Indenture;

     (vii) a form of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), between GMAC and the Depositor; and

     (viii) such other documents as we have deemed necessary for the expression of the opinions contained herein (collectively, the documents described in clauses (iii) through (vii) are referred to herein as the “Transaction Documents”).

     In our examination, we have assumed that the Transaction Documents will be executed in the form submitted to us. We have also assumed, without independent verification, that the facts and representations and warranties in the documents upon which we relied are true and correct, and that the transactions contemplated by such documents have been or will be consummated strictly in accordance with their terms.

     On the basis of the foregoing and on the basis of our examination of the Depositor’s Certificate of Formation and its Limited Liability Company Agreement, as amended, and a review of a Certificate of the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware as to the good standing of the Depositor, it is our opinion that:

(a)

The Depositor is a limited liability company validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware.

(b)

When duly executed and authenticated by the Indenture Trustee, in accordance with the terms of the Indenture, and issued and delivered against payment thereof, the Offered Notes will have been duly authorized by all necessary action of the Issuing Entity and will have been legally issued and will be enforceable in accordance with their terms and entitled to the benefits of the Transaction Documents, except as the same may be limited by Title 11 of the United States Code or other bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, or other laws relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights or the relief of debtors, as may be in effect from time to time, or by general principles of equity.

     We do not find it necessary for the purposes of this opinion, and accordingly we do not purport to cover herein, the application of securities or “Blue Sky” laws of the various states to the offer or sale of the Offered Notes.

     We wish to advise you that we are members of the bar of the State of New York and the opinions expressed herein are limited to the laws of the State of New York, the federal law of the United States of America, the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act and the Delaware Business Trust Act.

     We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion with Form 8-K in connection with the sale of the Offered Notes. In giving this consent, we do not thereby admit that we come within the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Act or the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder.

          Re: Federal Income Tax Consequences

          We are issuing this opinion letter in our capacity as special counsel to Capital Auto Receivables LLC (the “Depositor”) and GMAC LLC (“GMAC”) in connection with the issuance of Offered Notes (as defined on Exhibit A hereto), Class B Notes and Class C Notes (each as defined on Exhibit B hereto) and Privately Placed Notes (as defined on Exhibit C hereto) by Capital Auto Receivables Asset Trust 2007-2 (the “Issuing Entity”) pursuant to an Indenture (the “Indenture”), between the Issuing Entity and The Bank of New York Trust Company, N. A., as indenture trustee (the “Indenture Trustee”), to be dated as of August 23, 2007 (the “Issuance Date”). The Class B Notes and the Class C Notes will initially be retained by the Depositor.

Only the Offered Notes are being offered for sale in a transaction pursuant to the registration requirements of the Act.

          We are familiar with the proceedings required to be taken in connection with the proposed authorization, issuance and sale of the Offered Notes, and in order to express the opinion hereinafter stated, we have examined:

          (i) a copy of the registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-105077) (the “Registration Statement”) that was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) pursuant to Rule 415 under the Act on May 8, 2003, as amended by Pre-Effective Amendment No. 1 on May 16, 2003, by Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 on February 1, 2006, by Post-Effective Amendment No. 2 on February 2, 2006 and by Post-Effective Amendment No. 3 on December 4, 2006 with respect to asset-backed notes and certificates, including the Offered Notes, to be issued and sold in series from time to time, in the form in which it became effective, including the exhibits thereto.

          (ii) a copy of the form of Prospectus Supplement relating to the Offered Notes dated August 15, 2007 (the “Prospectus Supplement”) and the related Prospectus dated April 17, 2007 (the “Base Prospectus”) substantially in the form to be filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b)(5) under the Act;

          (iii) a copy of the Trust Agreement, dated as of August 10, 2007, and the form of amended and restated Trust Agreement, to be dated as of the Issuance Date, each between the Depositor and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Delaware, as owner trustee;

          (vi) a form of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, between GMAC and the Depositor;

          The documents described in clauses (iii) through (vii) collectively are referred to herein as the “Transaction Documents”.

          We have examined such other documents and such matters of law, and we have satisfied ourselves as to such matters of fact, as we have considered relevant for purposes of this opinion.

          The opinion set forth in this letter is based upon the applicable provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, Treasury regulations promulgated and proposed thereunder, current positions of the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) contained in published Revenue Rulings and Revenue Procedures, current administrative positions of the IRS and existing judicial decisions. No tax rulings will be sought from the IRS with respect to any of the matters discussed herein. Moreover, the statutory provisions, regulations, interpretations and other authorities upon which our opinion is based are subject to change, and such changes could apply retroactively. In addition, there can be no assurance that positions contrary to those stated in our opinion will not be taken by the IRS. Our opinion is in no way binding on the IRS or any court, and it is possible that the IRS or a court could, when presented with these facts, reach a different conclusion. In rendering such opinion, we have assumed that the Issuing Entity will be operated in accordance with the terms of the Transaction Documents.

          Based on the foregoing and assuming that the Transaction Documents are duly authorized, executed and delivered in substantially the form we have examined and that the transactions contemplated to occur under the Transaction Documents in fact occur in accordance

Capital Auto Receivables LLC
August 21, 2007

with the terms thereof, to the extent that the discussions presented in the Prospectus Supplement under the captions “Summary—Tax Status” and “Federal Income Tax Consequences,” and in the Base Prospectus under the caption “Federal Income Tax Consequences” expressly state our opinion, or state that our opinion has been or will be provided as to any series of Securities, we hereby confirm and adopt such opinion herein. There can be no assurance, however, that the conclusions of U.S. federal tax law presented therein will not be successfully challenged by the IRS or significantly altered by new legislation, changes in IRS positions or judicial decisions, any of which challenges or alterations may be applied retroactively with respect to completed transactions.

          Except for the opinions expressed above, we express no opinion as to any other tax consequences of the transaction to any party under federal, state, local or foreign laws. In addition, we express no opinion as to the laws of any jurisdiction other than the federal laws of the United States of America to the extent specifically referred to herein. This letter is limited to the specific issues addressed herein and the opinions rendered above are limited in all respects to laws and facts existing on the date hereof. By rendering these opinions, we do not undertake to advise you with respect to any other matter or of any change in such laws or facts or in the interpretations of such laws which may occur after the date hereof or as to any future action that may become necessary to maintain the character of any Offered Notes as described in the Base Prospectus and the Prospectus Supplement or to maintain the Issuing Entity as an entity that will not be taxable as an association or publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation for federal income tax purposes.

          We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion on Form 8-K in connection with the sale of the Offered Notes. In giving this consent, we do not thereby admit that we come within the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Act, or the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder.

Very truly yours,
