ITEM 5. OTHER EVENTS
On August 3, 2004, General Motors Corporation (GM) issued a news release
announcing July 2004 sales. The release is as follows:
GM Reports July Sales of 459,263, Highest Volume in `04
Record July Truck Sales
Second-Best Utility Sales Ever
Cadillac Has Best Monthly Sales Since 1990
DETROIT - General Motors had its best sales month so far this year in July, as
dealers sold 459,263 new cars and trucks. The total was down 3 percent when
compared to very strong year-ago sales. GM's overall truck sales (278,454) were
down 3 percent from record year-ago levels, while car sales (180,809) declined
4.5 percent.
"July was a good month for GM, rebounding nicely from June," said John Smith,
group vice president of GM North America Vehicle Sales, Service and Marketing.
"We had solid growth in both sales volume and share, led by record utility sales
and increasing momentum of our launch vehicles, such as the Chevrolet Malibu.
Additionally, we had strong luxury sales due in large part to the continued
growth at Cadillac. Over the next few months, GM will launch several important
vehicles such as the Pontiac G6, Buick LaCrosse, Cadillac STS and Chevrolet
Cobalt. These products, combined with a strengthening economy will drive
continued sales momentum throughout the balance of the year."
GM Truck Sales
GM's industry-leading truck lineup had record July sales, led by record GMC
sales (61,269) and the second-best month ever for sport utility deliveries
(137,181), which were up 11 percent. This is the fourth month this year in which
GM utility sales topped 100,000 units, a monthly sales benchmark no other
manufacturer has achieved. Sales of large utilities (49,891) increased 2
percent. Large luxury utilities (9,259) were up 23 percent, led by increases for
the Escalade and Escalade ESV. Small utilities (17,131) jumped 49 percent, paced
by the Saturn Vue (8,846), which was up 15 percent.
Sales of GM full-size pickups (92,509) reached their highest level for the year
and led the industry.
GM Car Sales
GM car sales totaled 180,809 units. Luxury car sales (23,608) improved 7
percent, led by record Cadillac CTS deliveries (5,264), up 26 percent and

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.
