ITEM 8.01.  OTHER EVENTS

On July 19, 2007 General Motors Corporation (GM) issued a news release
announcing global quarterly sales. The release is as follows:


          GM Announces Global Quarterly Sales In Excess of 2.4 Million
                  Vehicles; Record Sales Outside United States

o   Chevrolet Aveo, Corsa, Optra and Celta Drive Record Sales Surge of
    20 Percent In Latin America, Africa and the Middle East

o   Record Sales Growth in South Korea, India and China Fuels 8 Percent
    Asia/Pacific Increase

o   Europe Has Best-Ever Second Quarter; Sets All-Time Sales Record for
    First Half of 2007

o   GM Maintains Sales Leadership in Key Emerging Markets


DETROIT - General Motors sold 2.405 million cars and trucks around the world in
the second quarter of 2007, reporting record sales outside the United States,
according to preliminary sales figures released today. GM sold 2.395 million
vehicles in the second quarter last year.

"GM's second quarter sales were driven by exceptionally strong demand in
emerging markets. GM global sales of 4.67 million vehicles for the first half of
the year reflects solid results, in fact we're on track to have our second-best
annual sales performance in our almost 100-year history," John Middlebrook, GM
vice president, Global Sales, Service and Marketing Operations, said today. "In
the second quarter we experienced record sales growth around the globe including
20 percent growth in Latin America, Africa and the Middle East - an all-time
quarterly record for that region, and 8 percent growth in the Asia/Pacific
region. We're also pleased to see almost 5 percent growth in Europe where we
sold more than 574,000 vehicles."

Chevrolet global sales of 1.13 million vehicles in the second quarter of 2007
were up more than 4,000 vehicles compared with a year ago. The brand grew by 34
percent in Europe, 24 percent in Latin America, Africa and the Middle East and 3
percent in Asia-Pacific.

Saturn sales in the United States and Canada were up 27 percent, based largely
on the popularity of three new vehicles, the Sky roadster, Aura mid-car and
Outlook mid-utility crossover vehicle. Saturn is launching the all-new Vue small
utility crossover and soon will introduce the Astra small car. Saturn has two
hybrid offerings in its lineup, the Aura Green Line and Vue Green Line.

Global sales highlights include:

o Second quarter 2007 global sales of 2.405 million vehicles.

o Second quarter sales outside the United States set a record. At 1.39 million
  vehicles, Q2 2007 sales outside of the United States accounted for about 58
  percent of GM's total global sales, growing at close to 8 percent compared
  with Q2 2006, outpacing the industry average growth rate of 6 percent.

o In the Latin America, Africa and Middle East region, GM sales surged to
  293,300 vehicles, up 20 percent in volume compared with 2006, which set the
  industry and GM record for the second quarter. Sales in Brazil were up 23
  percent for the quarter.

o In the Asia/Pacific region, GM sales of 338,000 vehicles were 8 percent higher
  than the previous year's second quarter, and were a record for the quarter. GM
  China sales of 234,000 vehicles posted a more than 6 percent sales increase
  compared with 2006. GM remained the top-selling automaker in China. With these
  results, GM is on track to become the first manufacturer in China to exceed
  one million vehicles sold annually. GM's sales in China include sales by
  SAIC-GM-Wuling, in which GM owns the maximum permissible interest for a
  foreign company, 34 percent.





o In Europe, GM also set a quarterly sales record with deliveries of 574,000
  vehicles, up 5 percent. Growth in Russia, up 106 percent, led the increase.
  Chevrolet achieved record European sales of 114,900 vehicles, up 34 percent,
  and is fueling GM's growth in Russia. Vauxhall sales strength in the UK helped
  offset significant reductions in the German market, keeping Opel/Vauxhall
  share in Europe at 7.4 percent for the first half of the year.

o In North America, planned reductions in daily rental sales and softness in the
  U.S. market due to increasing fuel prices and concerns about housing, resulted
  in sales of 1.20 million vehicles, a decline of 7 percent compared with a
  strong quarter the previous year. Despite a competitive market for full-size
  pickups, GM continues to show pickup truck segment leadership with share gains
  in the quarter thanks to the North America Truck of the Year Chevrolet
  Silverado and all-new GMC Sierra. GM's mid-car and mid-utility crossover
  segments also saw retail sales gains on the strength of mid-cars Saturn Aura,
  Pontiac G6 and Chevrolet Impala, and mid-utility crossovers GMC Acadia, Saturn
  Outlook and Buick Enclave.

Note: Global sales results are based on preliminary numbers reported and have
been rounded.

General Motors Corp. (NYSE: GM), the world's largest automaker, has been the
annual global industry sales leader for 76 years. Founded in 1908, GM today
employs about 280,000 people around the world. With global headquarters in
Detroit, GM manufactures its cars and trucks in 33 countries. In 2006, nearly
9.1 million GM cars and trucks were sold globally under the following brands:
Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet, GMC, GM Daewoo, Holden, HUMMER, Opel, Pontiac, Saab,
Saturn and Vauxhall. GM's OnStar subsidiary is the industry leader in vehicle
safety, security and information services. More information on GM can be found

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.
