ITEM 8.01. OTHER EVENTS
On November 1, 2006 General Motors Corporation (GM) issued a news release
announcing October 2006 sales. The release is as follows:
GM's U.S. Divisions Deliver 301,317 Vehicles In October
o GM Retail Sales Up 36 Percent Compared With Last Year
o Chevrolet Avalanche, Silverado and GMC Sierra Pickup Trucks On A Roll --
Retail Sales More Than Doubled
o For The Second Consecutive Year, GM Offers More Vehicle Models Achieving
30 MPG Highway Than Any Other Automaker
DETROIT - General Motors dealers in the United States sold 301,317 new cars and
trucks in October, a 22 percent increase compared with last year. Retail sales
were up 36 percent on a sales-day adjusted basis. Retail truck sales were up 52
percent, led by a doubling of full-size pickup retail sales such as Chevy
Silverado and GMC Sierra and a 46 percent increase in luxury utility retail
sales, including the entire Cadillac Escalade lineup. Retail car sales were up 9
percent, led by Chevrolet Impala, Pontiac G6 and Saturn Aura.
"GM's industry-leading truck business was boosted in October by lower fuel
prices - that's one reason our trucks, SUVs and crossovers are gaining share. Of
course, offering customers great fuel economy coupled with having the industry's
most comprehensive coverage, including the 5-year/100,000 mile powertrain
warranty, helps too," said Mark LaNeve, General Motors North America vice
president, Vehicle Sales, Service and Marketing. "Consumers are responding to
our lineup of new vehicles, including Saturn Aura, Chevrolet Silverado and GMC
Sierra, and we'll have even more new products arriving soon, including our
mid-crossovers -- Saturn Outlook, GMC Acadia and Buick Enclave."
GMC, Chevrolet, Buick, Cadillac, Saturn, Pontiac and Saab all had retail sales
increases in October. GMC was up 75 percent retail, with sales more than
doubling for the Sierra, Yukon and Yukon XL.
The all-new 2007 Sierra pickups arrived at dealerships in October. Chevrolet
retail sales were up 39 percent, with double-digit retail jumps by Silverado, up
107 percent; Tahoe, up 104 percent; and Suburban, up 83 percent. The all-new
2007 Silverado pickups also arrived at dealerships in October. Buick retail
sales were up 28 percent, led by Lucerne. Cadillac retail sales were up 30
percent, with a 14 percent increase in CTS, a 28 percent increase in SRX and
triple-digit increases for the entire Escalade lineup. Saturn retail sales were
up 16 percent as the all-new 2007 Aura and Sky continue to bring new customers
into the Saturn family. Pontiac retail sales were up 1 percent due to sales
increases for the new G5, G6, and Solstice. Lastly, Saab retail sales were up 83
percent, driven by a 54 percent retail increase for 9-3, an 80 percent hike for
9-5 and a 338 percent increase for 9-7X.
"We continue to experience strong customer demand for our lineup of fuel
efficient vehicles and new launch products," LaNeve said. "In October we were
very pleased to learn that for the second year in a row, according to the U.S.
EPA, GM offers more vehicle models (23 total) that achieve an estimated 30 mpg
on the highway, or higher, than any other automaker."
GM continues to reduce its reliance on daily rental sales. Sales to daily rental
companies were down 14 percent compared to year-ago levels, while non-daily
rental fleet business was up 6 percent. Overall fleet sales of 75,000 vehicles
were down 8 percent compared with last October.
Certified Used Vehicles
October sales for all certified GM brands, including GM Certified Used Vehicles,
Cadillac Certified Pre-Owned Vehicles, Saturn Certified Pre-Owned Vehicles, Saab
Certified Pre-Owned Vehicles and HUMMER Certified Pre-Owned Vehicles, were
42,839 units, comparable to last October's sales. Total year-to-date certified
GM sales for all brands are 436,383 units, down 2 percent from the same period
last year.
GM Certified Used Vehicles, the industry's top-selling certified pre-owned
brand, posted 37,222 sales in October, down 1 percent from October 2005.
Year-to-date sales for GM Certified Used Vehicles are 377,203 units, comparable
to last year's results for the same period.

percent from last October. Saturn Certified Pre-Owned Vehicles sold 1,289 units,
down 32 percent. Saab Certified Pre-Owned Vehicles sold 594 units, down nearly 2
percent. In its tenth month of operation, HUMMER Certified Pre-Owned sold 82
units.
"Cadillac Certified Pre-Owned Vehicles had an outstanding sales month, up nearly
30 percent over October 2005, with year-to-date sales up nearly 8 percent from
the same period last year," said LaNeve. "Through October, GM Certified Used
Vehicles, the industry's top-selling certified brand, sold 377,203 units,
comparable to its category record annual sales in 2005."

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.
