ITEM 8.01. OTHER EVENTS
On June 1, 2006 General Motors Corporation (GM) issued a news release announcing
May 2006 sales. The release is as follows:
GM Delivers 345,157 Vehicles In May
o Combined Sales of New Full-Size Utilities Up 41 Percent vs. April
o Solid Chevy HHR and Pontiac Torrent Sales Drive Small Utility Increase
of 34 Percent
o Sales Impacted By Reductions In Incentive Programs and Daily Rental Sales
DETROIT - General Motors dealers in the United States sold 345,157 new cars and
trucks in May, down 16 percent compared to year-ago levels, reflecting continued
strategic reductions in incentives and daily rentals, which were down 28
percent.
Total car sales were down 19 percent, and truck sales were down 13 percent.
While high gas prices continue to have some impact, consumers have responded
favorably to GM's new products, particularly the all-new 2007 Chevy Tahoe
(11,689 sales), Avalanche (1,692) and Suburban (5,128), GMC Yukon/Yukon XL
(7,965) and Cadillac Escalade (2,945) and Escalade ESV (1,097), resulting in a
combined 41 percent sales increase compared to April.
"The overall industry in May was dampened by rising fuel prices and interest
rates. GM is actively addressing consumers' concerns with its segment-leading
fuel economy and a pilot program like the `Fuel Price Protection Program,' which
helps consumers battle the uncertainty of gas price fluctuations," said Mark
LaNeve, General Motors North America vice president, Vehicle Sales, Service and
Marketing.
A very encouraging trend was the continued success of GM's new vehicles. LaNeve
explained, "Our launch vehicles continue to post strong sales results, as
evidenced by the sales gains of our all-new full-size utilities and strong
retail sales of important new products including the Chevrolet Impala, HHR and
Cobalt, Buick Lucerne, Pontiac G6 and Torrent." LaNeve added, "Our May sales
volume was not where we need it to be. It clearly was impacted by our reduced
reliance on daily rental sales and broad-based incentive programs to drive the
business."
"Our customers have told us that success in the marketplace depends on a
combination of great new products, strong brands and segment-leading fuel
economy, and that is exactly the turnaround strategy we are executing," LaNeve
said.
GM's luxury utilities posted strong sales in May, up 34 percent compared to
year-ago levels. H3 sales led HUMMER to its thirteenth consecutive month of
year-over-year sales increases. Total HUMMER sales were up 53 percent. Cadillac
Escalade sales rose 50 percent in May, paced by continuing brisk demand for the
all-new 2007 model. Cadillac Escalade ESV sales started strong with 1,097 sold.
The newest additions to GM's small utility lineup, Chevrolet HHR and Pontiac
Torrent, helped push total small utility sales up 34 percent.
GM sports cars also posted solid May sales results, with a 44 percent
improvement compared to year-ago levels. Corvette led the lineup with a 3.5
percent increase with 3,317 deliveries. Pontiac Solstice and Saturn Sky are
selling briskly, with Solstice remaining on dealers' lots an average of 13 days
and Sky remaining on lots 2 days.
Total sales of all GM launch vehicles were up 12.5 percent compared to April and
accounted for 24 percent of GM's total deliveries for the month. The success of
GM's launch vehicles is another critical component of GM's North America
restructuring plan.
GM will continue to introduce an array of new vehicles throughout 2006,
including the all-new Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra full-size pickups, the
fuel-efficient Saturn Vue Green Line Hybrid to be introduced this fall, and GMC
Acadia and Saturn Outlook crossovers coming late this year.
Certified Used Vehicles
May sales for all certified GM brands, including GM Certified Used Vehicles,
Cadillac Certified Pre-Owned Vehicles, Used Cars from Saturn, Saab Certified
Pre-Owned Vehicles and HUMMER Certified Pre-Owned Vehicles, were 44,522 units,
up 12 percent from last May. Total year-to-date certified GM sales are 220,097
units, up 2 percent from the same period last year.
GM Certified Used Vehicles, the industry's top-selling manufacturer-certified
used brand, posted 38,471 sales, up 15 percent from last May. Year-to-date sales
for GM Certified Used Vehicles are 191,523 units, up 4 percent from the same
period in 2005.
Cadillac Certified Pre-Owned Vehicles posted 3,316 sales in May, up nearly 6
percent from last May. Used Cars from Saturn sold 1,845 units, down 17 percent.
Saab Certified Pre-Owned Vehicles sold 801 units, down nearly 13 percent. In its
fifth month of operation, HUMMER Certified Pre-Owned sold 89 units.
"May proved to be another terrific month for GM Certified Used Vehicles sales,
increasing 15 percent over May 2005, marking the third consecutive month of
double-digit sales increases," LaNeve said. "With sales of 38,471 units in May,
GM Certified Used Vehicles, the industry's top-selling certified brand,
continues to lead the certified segment and is on track to set another all-time
sales record for the category."

Note: GM sales and production results are available on GM Media OnLine at

release and related comments by General Motors management, we use words like
"expect," "anticipate," "estimate," "forecast," "objective," "plan," "goal" and
similar expressions to identify forward looking statements, representing our
current judgment about possible future events. We believe these judgments are
reasonable, but actual results may differ materially due to a variety of
important factors. Among other items, such factors might include: the pace of
introductions and market acceptance of new products; the effect of competition
on our markets and significant changes in the competitive environment; price
increases or shortages of fuel; and changes in laws, regulations or tax rates.
GM's most recent annual report on Form 10-K and quarterly report on Form 10-Q
provide information about these factors, which may be revised or supplemented in
future reports to the SEC on Form 10-Q or 8-K.
