ITEM 5.  OTHER ITEMS

On October 1, 2002, General Motors Corporation (GM) issued a news release
announcing September and third quarter production results and fourth quarter
forecast was unchanged. The release is as follows:

GM Reports September Sales of 312,276 - Down 13 Percent

Truck Sales Down 8 Percent; Car Sales Decrease 18 Percent
GM CYTD Sales Up 2 Percent; Q3 sales Up 10 percent
GM Announces September And Q3 Production Results; Q4 Forecast Unchanged

DETROIT - General Motors Corp. dealers sold 312,276 new cars and trucks in
September in the United States, down 13 percent over last year. GM's overall
truck sales were down 8 percent and GM car sales decreased 18 percent. For the
third quarter, GM total sales were up 10 percent and retail sales were up 11
percent. GM's calendar year sales are up 2 percent and retail sales are up 5
percent.

"Our September sales performance was softer than expected. However, when you
consider our exceptional sales performance in July and August, lean inventories,
and the competitive environment, we expected there would be some weakening in
September sales," said Bill Lovejoy, group vice president of North America
Vehicle Sales, Service and Marketing. "We remain pleased with our overall
performance for the third quarter and for the year and remain optimistic as we
head into the fourth quarter.

"We still expect our truck lineup to set the all-time industry record, we are
pleased with our overall momentum, and importantly, our launch vehicles continue
to strengthen our position in the marketplace," said Lovejoy.

GM Truck Sales
GM reported a decline of 5 percent in sport utility vehicles, selling 72,110
units in September. For the calendar year, GM utility vehicle sales are up
nearly 29 percent. GM posted solid midsize utility sales once again, selling
30,381 for the month. GMC Envoy sales increased 72 percent over last year (7351
units). Additionally, the Chevrolet TrailBlazer increased 11 percent over last
year with sales of 13,040.

GM had a solid sales month in full-size utility vehicles (33,742 units), led by
exceptional sales of the new HUMMER H2 (2,974 units), and another strong month
for the Cadillac Escalade (2,755 units), which increased 6 percent. Despite lean
inventories, GM sold 64,768 full-size pickups for the month.

GM Car Sales
Overall GM car sales were down 18 percent in September. However, GM continues to
generate momentum in the luxury vehicle segment with Cadillac division sales up
16.4 percent and Cadillac cars up 4.1 percent for the year. Cadillac CTS had
another strong month with 3,277 sales. Clearly the CTS, along with the Pontiac
Vibe, continue to strengthen GM's position in a highly competitive passenger car
market.

Certified Used Sales
GM's industry-leading certified used car program sold approximately 35,000 total
certified used vehicles in September, including the Cadillac, Saturn and Saab
certified brands. The GM Certified Used Vehicle brand had another strong month,
selling approximately 27,900 units. "Our certified used vehicle business
continues to strengthen as our GM dealers, GMAC and the entire VSSM organization
make it a tremendous success story for General Motors," Lovejoy said.

GM Announces September and Q3 Production Results, Q4 Production Forecast Remains
Unchanged
In September, GM produced 491,200 vehicles (205,200 cars and 286,000
trucks) in North America, compared to 448,500 vehicles (210,500 cars and 238,000
trucks) produced in September 2001. (Totals include joint venture production of
13,300 vehicles in September 2002 and 8,700 vehicles in September 2001.)

In the third-quarter, GM North America built 1.307 million vehicles (567,000
cars and 740,000 trucks). In the third quarter of 2001, GM North America
produced 1.238 million units (573,000 cars and 665,000 trucks).

The increase of approximately 22,000 units in North American third quarter
production over the prior estimate was partially related to additional fleet
units required to meet an increase in demand by the daily rental companies.

GM's fourth-quarter production forecast for North America remains unchanged at
1.389 million units (590,900 cars and 798,100 trucks). In the fourth-quarter of
2001, GM produced 1.294 million units (573,000 cars and 721,000 trucks) in North
America.

GM also announced revised fourth-quarter production forecasts for its
international regions:

   -  GM Europe - The regions' revised fourth-quarter production forecast is
      472,000 vehicles, up 7,000 vehicles from last month's forecast.
   -  GM Asia Pacific - GM Asia Pacific's revised fourth-quarter production
      forecast is 74,000 vehicles, up 1,000 vehicles from last month's initial
      forecast.
   -  GM Latin America, Africa and the Middle East - The region's revised
      fourth-quarter production forecast is 155,000 units, up 7,000 units over
      last month's forecast of 148,000 units.

GM cars and trucks are sold under the following brands: Chevrolet, Pontiac,
Buick, Oldsmobile, Cadillac, GMC, Saturn, Hummer, Saab, Opel, Vauxhall and
Holden. GM parts and accessories are marketed under the GM, GM Goodwrench and
ACDelco brands through GM Service and Parts Operations.

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

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-15, 16) 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.

International  regions to count  vehicles as  production  in the region of final
