What is GM's Current View of the U.S. Industry?

Current U.S. Economic Factors Disappointing Factors Encouraging Factors Continued high energy/ commodity prices Lack of supply response from global market Difficult credit markets Job creation decline Delayed housing recovery Continued strength in exports Aggressive monetary and fiscal policy actions Solid productivity growth Strong non-financial sector balance sheets

U.S. Market Factors Challenging market impacted by high gas prices, slumping housing market and consumer credit tightening Household spending on gas (as % of income) rose from 2.5% in 2003 to 5% in mid-2008 Sharp decline of used vehicle values impacting leasing YTD total industry SAAR of 14.6 million (14.3 million light) July SAAR of 12.7 million (12.4 million light), with retail impacted by tight credit conditions and lower consumer sentiment

Does GM's Capacity and Product Plan Align with Rapid U.S. Market Changes?

GMNA Capacity Action Recap Objective Rebalance GMNA capacity towards cars/crossovers Minimize capital investment by leveraging existing footprint Continue leveraging global product programs Implemented or Announced Actions Substantial net reductions from 2005-2008 Recently announced production cessation at 4 truck/SUV plants Additional actions to balance production within installed capacity Shifts added at 2 car plants and removed at 2 truck plants GMNA installed capacity reduced from 4.2M in 2008 to 3.7M by 2010

GMNA Installed Capacity and Utilization Excluding JVs and Contract Assembly; utilization measured over full year based on timing of capacity actions RGY_JPMgn16a_GMNAcapcity Installed capacity realigned to over 60% cars/crossovers by 2010

Operating Capacity Flexibility In addition to reductions in installed capacity, significant actions in 2008 to shift "operating capacity" by revising shifts, line speeds and headcount within existing footprint Truck operating capacity reduced ~850k Car/crossover operating capacity increased ~700k Flexible operating plans provide additional car/crossover production upside if demand increases further Flexibility to shift between cars/crossovers and between architectures Additional overtime or third shift capabilities exist Operating plan changes allow alignment of production with demand with minimal investment Allows increased car capacity without expense of plant conversions

Global Architecture Development Global architecture development team approach implemented in early 2005 Planning, design, engineering and program management run centrally and responsible for global engineering and capex budgets Significant product development efficiencies generated On plan to reduce platform count by one-half (equal to Toyota) Design and engineering footprint migrating to lower cost locations Enables powertrain consolidation, which is also underway New global architectures for all key passenger and crossover entries in pipeline Wide bandwidth allows "plug and play" adaptation for developed or emerging market applications

Global Architecture Case Study Global architectures based on common underbody, motor compartment and corporate common component sets Differentiation via modular plug and play major component sets Facilitate international design, engineering and manufacturing Global midsize car will be the first vehicles to market based on global architecture development Replaces 5 different midsize platforms with one global architecture spanning 16 models and 6 brands Midsize car global architecture will be globally sourced and enable inter-buildability between assembly plants globally First application of Global Midsize is Opel Insignia, to be launched in Europe in Q4 of this year

How Will GM Maintain Momentum in Overseas Markets?

GMAP Outlook and Strategies Economic/Industry Trends Economic expansion continues, but moderating due to slowing exports, record high inflation, tightening bias of monetary policies 2008 industry volume still expected to be above 2007 due to solid growth in China and India Key Strategies Continue to grow in China by further driving multi-brand strategy Rapidly grow India volume by leveraging new mini-car production Develop growth strategies for ASEAN countries Leverage GMDAT engineering/manufacturing capability across GM Improve material cost via increased localization (e.g., India) Optimize capacity utilization to support growth cost efficiently

Summary and Management Focus GM is here to stay Intense focus on implementing liquidity plan Making changes to compete and win in midst of an industry revolution Maintaining rapid expansion in fastest growing markets globally Proof is in our cars and trucks Cars/crossovers comprise 11 of last 13 U.S. launches, and 18 of next 19 Success of recent launches such as CTS and Malibu provide confidence in product plan Reinventing the automobile and GM Committed to providing leadership in development of alternate fuel propulsion systems Targeting fuel economy leadership in every class of vehicle we introduce Restructuring business for sustainable profit and growth
