ITEM 5. OTHER ITEMS
On April 1, 2003, General Motors Corporation (GM) issued a news release
announcing March sales. The release is as follows:
GM Reports March Sales of 391,752, Down 3 Percent
Truck sales comparable to year-ago, driven by full-size pickup
and utility sales
Luxury vehicle sales continue to grow; Cadillac up 16 percent
DETROIT - General Motors Corp. dealers sold 391,752 new cars and trucks in
March in the United States. This is a modest 3 percent decline versus March
2002. GM's overall truck sales (226,586) were down slightly, with sales
accelerating 11 percent over February 2003. Car sales in March (165,166) were
down 5 percent, with a 5 percent improvement over February.
"Despite current economic uncertainty, industry sales remain solid, in
part due to across-the-board incentive activity by all manufacturers," said John
Smith, group vice president of GM North America Vehicle Sales, Service and
Marketing. "GM's results show improvement both in unit sales and share over the
quarter. We'll build upon this with the "Zero to Sixty" campaign that is
effective today. Additionally, we are pleased with our richer mix, reflecting
the continuing improvement of truck sales, which made up 62 percent of our
retail volume in March. And, we continue to experience sales gains at Cadillac,
Hummer, Saturn and Saab, as well as with our new vehicle introductions,
including the all-new Pontiac Grand Prix launched just last month. We expect
momentum to continue to build with 15 more new vehicle launches before
year-end."
GM Truck Sales
GM total truck sales were comparable to year-ago levels. Importantly,
full-size pickup sales were up 7.5 percent. Total utility vehicle sales for the
month (98,486) were in line with year-ago levels, and GM achieved March record
sales for a number of utilities, including Saturn VUE, Chevrolet TrailBlazer,
GMC Envoy and Cadillac Escalade.
GM Car Sales
Saturn and Cadillac cars had strong sales in March, with increases of 16
percent and 10.5 percent, respectively. Saturn ION continued to gain momentum
with 13,057 sales. March sales records were posted for Chevrolet Impala
(21,962), Pontiac Vibe (7,810), and Cadillac CTS (4,588). GM's luxury car sales
were up 8 percent for March and up over 4 percent calendar-year-to-date, driven
by strong sales of the Cadillac CTS and new Saab 9-3.
Certified Used Vehicles
GM's industry leading certified vehicle program sold approximately 39,544
total certified used vehicles in March, including the Cadillac, Saturn and Saab
certified brands. The GM Certified Used Vehicle brand alone posted solid
numbers, selling 33,022 vehicles, which is 47 percent higher than last year. "In
light of the current economic circumstances, we are pleased with the continued
growth of our dealers' certified used business," said Smith.

release and related comments by General Motors management, our use of the words

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

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.
