On March 1, 2001, General Motors Corporation (GM) issued a news release
announcing February sales and production, as well as first and second
quarter 2001 production estimates. The release is as follows:
ITEM 5. OTHER ITEMS
GM February Sales Down 9%; Industry Eases From Historical Year-ago Sales
- February Car Sales Down 9%
- February Truck Sales Down 10%
- Full-size Utility Sales Climb 13%
GM Announces February Production Results; First and Second Quarter Forecast
DETROIT -- General Motors dealers sold 409,535 new cars and trucks in
February in the United States, down nine percent from February 2000. GM car
sales fell nine percent to 213,121 units and truck sales decreased 10 percent to
196,414 units.
"Despite the recent economic slowdown and anticipated sales decline,
consumer demand is holding relatively steady," said Bill Lovejoy, group vice
president of North America Vehicle Sales, Service and Marketing. "The
extraordinary 19.3 million-unit vehicle selling rate last February certainly
raised the bar for the industry. In general, we're encouraged by a strong
February 2001 GM and industry performance. One important factor in GM's February
results was the support provided by the very competitive promotional activities
of GM dealers," he said.
In February, GM dealers posted a fourth consecutive monthly increase for
GM full-size utilities with sales up 13 percent to 38,609 units. GM posted a
record for full-size utility sales, while the Chevrolet Tahoe and Suburban and
GMC Yukon and Yukon XL each posted individual records for the month.

February Production Totals, 1st and 2nd Quarter 2001 Estimates
In February, GM produced 361,661 vehicles (166,895 cars and 194,766
trucks) in North America from 485,055 vehicles (236,869 cars and 248,186 trucks)
produced in February 2000. Included in those figures were 269,732 vehicles
(119,592 cars and 150,140 trucks) produced in the United States in February from
371,015 vehicles (167,646 cars and 203,369 trucks) produced in February 2000. GM
also produced 62,060 vehicles (36,950 cars and 25,110 trucks) in Canada in
February from 85,570 vehicles (57,078 cars and 28,492 trucks) produced in
February 2000.
GM announced its first-quarter North American production estimate will
remain unchanged at 1.2 million vehicles (566,000 cars and 634,000 trucks).
Additionally, GM's second-quarter North American production estimate will
be 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 first- and second-quarter 2001
production estimates for its international regions:
- GM Europe - The first-quarter 2001 estimate is 545,000 vehicles, down from
the previous estimate of 558,000 vehicles. The second-quarter estimate is
535,000 vehicles.
- GM Asia Pacific - The first-quarter 2001 estimate is unchanged at 53,000.
The second-quarter estimate is 62,000 vehicles.
- GM Latin America, Africa and the Middle East - The first-quarter 2001
estimate is 137,000 vehicles, up from the previous estimate of 131,000
vehicles. The second-quarter estimate is 164,000 vehicles.

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 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.

Percent change Per selling day calculation is the same as a standard percent
change calculation with the exception of first dividing the units for each
month by their respective selling days. Following is the formula: ((current
month units/current month's selling days)/(prior month units/prior month's
selling days)) *100-100
* American Isuzu Motors, Inc., dealer sales of commercial vehicles distributed
by General Motors Corporation as reported to General Motors by American Isuzu
Motors, Inc.
Please Note: The Light sub-totals will be different than reported the prior
year due to the implementation of 2001 Segmentation, which moved some Light
Trucks to Medium.
