ITEM 8.01.  OTHER EVENTS                                                        

On September 1, 2004, General Motors Corporation (GM) issued a news release     
announcing August 2004 sales. The release is as follows:                        

GM Reports August Sales of 406,623, Down 7 Percent                              
Record Small SUV and Cadillac CTS Sales                                         
Total SUV Sales Continue On Record Pace                                         

DETROIT - General Motors dealers sold 406,623 new cars and trucks in August,    
down 7 percent compared to strong year-ago sales. GM's car sales (170,634) were 
down 2 percent and truck sales (235,989) were down 10 percent.                  

"Comparisons to our record sales of last year are tough. Still, our sales last  
month fell somewhat short of our expectations," said John Smith, group vice     
president GM North America Vehicle Sales, Service and Marketing. "Some of our   
newer products - like the Saturn Vue and Chevrolet Equinox small utilities, and 
the Cadillac CTS - enjoyed record monthly sales. GM's broader family of sport   
utilities also continues to perform at a record-setting pace. Over the next few 
months, our portfolio will be strengthened by launch products such as the       
Pontiac G6, Buick LaCrosse and Chevrolet Cobalt, along with our new crossover   
sport vans the Buick Terraza, Saturn Relay, Chevrolet Uplander and Pontiac      
Montana SV6."                                                                   

GM Truck Sales                                                                  

GM's truck sales in August declined 10 percent versus record industry levels    
last year. Utility sales in August (110,076) were down 6 percent compared to    
last year. This is the fifth month this year that sales of GM sport utility     
vehicles exceeded 100,000 units, which is the best sales performance in this    
segment industry-wide. GM remains on a record pace for utility sales in 2004.   
Small utility deliveries (15,955) established a new August record with a 47     
percent increase in sales. Chevrolet Equinox had 8,590 deliveries, up 36 percent
from July sales levels. GM had 99,675 pickup sales in August, including 86,898  
full-size pickups.                                                              

GM Car Sales                                                                    

GM car sales declined 2 percent compared to last August. In the economy car     
segment, the Chevrolet Aveo had its best sales month to date (6,509), up 62     
percent from July. Cadillac CTS established a new monthly sales record with     
4,365 deliveries.                                                               

Divisional Highlights                                                           

Chevrolet - Chevrolet car sales in August (86,002) were up 26 percent, paced by 
Malibu, which had 18,735 deliveries, a 106 percent increase over last year. On  
the truck side, in addition to solid Equinox sales, Silverado had its           
second-best August in 25 years (62,655), and Colorado had 9,967 deliveries.     

Cadillac - Cadillac truck sales continued on a record-setting pace for the year.
August truck sales (7,057) improved 36 percent compared to year-ago levels.     
Escalade ESV sales (1,259) were up 20 percent setting a new August record, and  
there were 2,384 SRX deliveries. CTS continued its sales momentum with a 10     
percent improvement over last year and a new monthly record                     

GMC - For the first time in its history, GMC continues on track to achieve      
600,000 sales. Envoy had record August sales (14,082), up 18 percent compared to
last year. Canyon had 2,180 sales.                                              

Pontiac - Bonneville sales were solid in August (3,743), a 92 percent increase  
over year-ago levels. GTO had its best sales since launch with 967 deliveries.  

HUMMER - HUMMER achieved its second-best sales results this year with 2,404     
deliveries. This was the third consecutive month of sales gains for H2,         
calculated on a selling-days basis. Additionally, H2 achieved its highest daily 
sales rate of any month this year fueled by H2 SUT sales.

these statements represent our current judgment on what the future may hold, and

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.
