GM Reports April Sales of 401,451, Up Slightly
'Truckfest' Drives Industry Sales Records for GM Trucks and Utilities
New Chevrolet Equinox and Colorado Models Off to Fast Start
DETROIT, May 5 -- General Motors dealers sold 401,451 new
cars and trucks in April, up slightly (+0.2 percent) compared to April 2003.
GM's truck sales (248,555) were up 1.5 percent and car sales (152,896) were
down 2 percent.
'GM's sales in April are up slightly compared to year-ago results,' said
John Smith, group vice president, GM North America Vehicle Sales, Service and
Marketing. 'Truckfest delivered solid results in key categories, including
new industry records for total truck sales and utility sales, and we will
continue this program in May. We have work to do on the car side of our
business, but with upcoming new entries like the Pontiac G6, Buick LaCrosse
and Cadillac STS and an improving economy, we expect to see continued growth
for both the industry and GM.'

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.

# Denotes estimate
Note: Beginning with Q1 2001, a reclassification has been made in the
International regions to count vehicles as production in the region of final
assembly. 1999 and 2000 data has been adjusted to reflect this
reclassification.
