GM Reports 393,197 Deliveries in May 2005

Cadillac Deliveries Up 12 Percent, Paced by 51 Percent Increase in Car Sales - Chevrolet Car Sales Up 12 Percent, Led by Record Cobalt Sales

DETROIT - General Motors dealers in the U.S. sold 393,197 new cars and trucks in May, down 5 percent on a selling days adjusted basis. GM's truck sales (238,471) were down 7 percent, due in part to a very strong year-ago comparison when GM set industry sales records for total truck and sport utility vehicle deliveries. Car sales in May (154,726) were down just 1 percent, led by Chevrolet and Cadillac and the sales strength of their new vehicles.

"We are pleased with the increasing market acceptance of our new cars and trucks," said Mark LaNeve, vice president, GM North America Vehicle Sales, Service and Marketing. "For the second consecutive month, combined launch vehicle deliveries improved substantially, led by Cadillac STS and record sales of Chevrolet Cobalt. Broad-based consumer acceptance and enthusiasm for our new vehicles is key to building a strong base for the future growth of our divisions, beginning with our foundational divisions, Cadillac and Chevrolet."

Retail deliveries of several new vehicles again outsold previous year retail sales of the models they replaced. Chevrolet Cobalt retail sales were up 73 percent compared to May 2004 retail sales of Cavalier. Buick LaCrosse retail deliveries were twice the combined Century and Regal retail volume of May 2004. Pontiac G6 retail sales were 92 percent higher than year-ago retail Grand Am V6 sales.

Cadillac sales improved 12 percent, posting its best May sales since 1993 and led by record CTS deliveries and strong STS sales. CTS sales were up 20 percent, marking the 13^th time in the last 17 months that CTS deliveries equaled or improved upon the previous year's sales. STS had 3,346 deliveries in May.

Chevrolet car sales increased 12 percent in May led by record Cobalt sales that were 17 percent higher than April levels. Cobalt deliveries have increased every month since its November 2004 launch. Among other Chevrolet launch vehicles, Equinox sales were 47 percent above year-ago levels. This was the 7th time in the last nine months that Equinox deliveries surpassed the 10,000-unit mark. Aveo achieved its third best monthly sales since launch, recording May deliveries that were 38 percent greater than last year. Chevrolet's new product introductions continue throughout 2005 with the HHR scheduled for introduction in the late summer/early fall and the new Impala and Monte Carlo scheduled for arrival later this year.

HUMMER posted a 62 percent sales increase compared to year-ago levels, in part due to the first deliveries of the all-new H3. H2 also contributed to HUMMER's May sales improvement with a 10 percent increase compared to last year.

Highlights of GM's truck sales: While total truck sales in May were down compared to year-ago levels due to a strong year-ago comparison, they were up 25 percent versus April. Full-size pickup sales improved 24 percent over April levels, and utility sales were up 36 percent. Utility deliveries again exceeded the 100,000-unit barrier, a level no other manufacturer has ever achieved. Individual models that posted sales improvements compared to year-ago levels included Chevrolet Silverado (+4 percent) and GMC Sierra (+8 percent) and Canyon (+30 percent).

Certified Used Vehicles

May sales for all certified GM brands, including GM Certified Used Vehicles, Cadillac Certified Pre-Owned, Used Cars from Saturn and Saab Certified Pre-Owned, were 39,739 units, down 10 percent. Calendar year-to-date certified GM sales are 216,130 units, up 1 percent.

GM Certified Used Vehicles, the industry's top-selling manufacturer-certified used brand, posted sales of 33,465 units, down 8 percent. Year-to-date sales for GM Certified Used Vehicles are 183,875, up 2 percent.

Cadillac Certified Pre-Owned Vehicles posted 3,141 sales, up 16 percent. Used Cars from Saturn sold 2,212 units, down 47 percent. Saab Certified Pre-Owned Vehicles sold 921 units, up 22 percent.

"GM's luxury certified brands performed strongly in May, with Cadillac Certified Pre-Owned sales up 16 percent and Saab Certified Pre-Owned up 22 percent," LaNeve said. "GM Certified Used Vehicles, the category sales leader, continues to set the pace for all manufacturers in the certified category, with calendar year-to-date sales up 2 percent over last year's segment record performance. We're optimistic about continued growth through the remainder of 2005."

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 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.
