INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
----------------------------
Saturn Individual Savings Plan
for Represented Members:
We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits
of the Saturn Individual Savings Plan for Represented Members as of December 31,
2000 and 1999, and the related statements of changes in net assets available for
benefits for the years then ended. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Plan's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, such financial statements present fairly, in all material
respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan as of December 31,
2000 and 1999, and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the
years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in
the United States of America.

SATURN INDIVIDUAL SAVINGS PLAN
FOR REPRESENTED MEMBERS
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
A. PLAN DESCRIPTION
Saturn Corporation ("Saturn"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of General Motors
Corporation (the "Corporation"), established a defined contribution plan, the
Saturn Individual Savings Plan for Represented Members (the "Plan"). General
Motors Asset Management ("GMAM")acts as the Plan fiduciary and, along with
various officers, employees, and committees with authority delegated by the Plan
fiduciary, controls and manages the operation and administration of the Plan
subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of
1974, as amended ("ERISA"). Assets of the Plan are held by various investment
managers under the direction of State Street Bank and Trust Company ("Trustee").
The Plan provides eligible represented members with tax-deferred and after-tax
voluntary savings opportunities. The following brief description of the Plan is
provided for general information purposes only. Refer to the Plan document for a
comprehensive description of the Plan's provisions.
Participation
Eligibility in the Plan is restricted to regular employees of Saturn
compensated fully or partly by salary who are represented by the United
Auto Workers ("UAW") or other labor organizations which have adopted the
Plan. Employees who are classified as contract or leased employees are not
eligible to participate. Eligible employees may participate in the Plan and
accumulate savings as of the first day of employment. Employees on approved
disability leaves of absence, or certain special leaves of absence, remain
eligible to accumulate savings for a period of one year while on such
leaves.
Participant Contributions
Participants direct the investment of their contributions (as well as
Saturn matching contributions prior to January 1, 1992) into various
investment options offered by the Plan. Participants may elect to
contribute to the Plan in several ways:
o Participants may contribute up to 25% of eligible earnings on an
after-tax basis whereby the contributions are included in the
participant's taxable income in the period of contribution ("After-Tax
Savings").
o Participants may contribute up to 25% of eligible earnings, or $10,500
($10,000 for 1999), whichever is less, on a tax-deferred basis, whereby
the contributions are excluded from the participant's taxable income
until such amounts are distributed to the participant from the Plan
("Tax-Deferred Savings").
o Participants may elect to combine the above contribution methods,
provided the contribution limitations noted above are not exceeded.
o Participants who have transferred to Saturn from another unit of the
Corporation are allowed to transfer assets into the Plan from the General
Motors Corporation Personal Savings Plan Trust.
o Newly hired employees are permitted to make a rollover contribution equal
to the taxable portion of cash proceeds received from a previous
employer's qualified savings plan ("Rollover Contributions").
Investment Options
The participants must direct how their contributions are to be invested. A
description of each investment option offered under the Plan follows:
- 6 -
SATURN INDIVIDUAL SAVINGS PLAN
FOR REPRESENTED MEMBERS
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - Continued
General Motors Corporation Common Stock Funds: $1-2/3 Par Value and Class H,
$0.10 Par Value - Under these investment options, contributions are invested
by the Trustee primarily in the respective General Motors common stock. Each
unit represents a proportionate interest in all of the assets of the
respective GM Common Stock Funds. The number of units credited to each
participant's account within the Plan will be determined by the amount of
the participant's contributions and the purchase price of a unit in the
respective GM Common Stock Fund. The value of each participant's account is
determined each business day by the number of units to the participant's
credit, multiplied by the current unit value. The return on a participant's
investment is based on the value of units, which, in turn, is determined by
the market price of the respective GM common stock, the amount of any
dividends paid thereon, and by interest earned on short-term investments
held by each fund.
Each participant directs the Trustee how to vote common stock shares
allocated to his or her account. The Trustee will not exercise voting rights
with respect to those shares for which a direction has not been received by
the required deadline.
Raytheon Class A Common Stock Fund - Effective December 17, 1997, GM
spun-off the defense electronics business of Hughes Electronics, a GM
subsidiary ("Hughes Defense"), to holders of GM $1-2/3 par value and Class H
common stock, which was immediately followed by the merger of Hughes Defense
with Raytheon Company. In connection with the above transaction, Raytheon
Class A common stock was distributed to holders of the GM $1-2/3 par value
and Class H common stocks.
Such distribution required the addition of the Raytheon Class A Common Stock
Fund as an investment option. No new contributions or exchanges from any
other investment options into the Raytheon Class A Common Stock Fund are
permitted. Dividends, if any, paid on Raytheon Class A common stock held by
the Plan will be invested in the Promark Income Fund investment option prior
to allocation to participants' accounts.
Assets held in this fund are expressed in terms of units and not shares of
stock. Each unit represents a proportionate interest in all of the assets of
this fund. The value of each participant's account is determined each
business day by the number of units to the participant's credit, multiplied
by the current unit value. The return on a participant's investment is based
on the value of units, which, in turn, is determined by the market price of
the Raytheon Class A common stock, and by interest earned on short-term
investments held by the fund.
Delphi Common Stock Fund - On May 28, 1999, the Corporation completed the
spin-off of Delphi Automotive Systems ("Delphi"). In connection with that
spin-off, Delphi common stock was distributed to holders of GM $1-2/3 par
value common stock. Such distribution required the addition of the Delphi
Common Stock Fund as an investment option. Plan participants holding units
in the GM $1-2/3 Par Value Common Stock Fund were allocated approximately
.70 units in the Delphi Common Stock Fund for each unit held in the GM
$1-2/3 Par Value Common Stock Fund. Such distribution was recorded as a
stock dividend, in which a total of $887 million of Delphi common stock was
distributed to GM $1-2/3 par value common stockholders.

SATURN INDIVIDUAL SAVINGS PLAN
FOR REPRESENTED MEMBERS
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - Continued
The Delphi Common Stock Fund will remain as an investment option; however,
no further contributions or exchanges from any other investment option into
the Delphi Common Stock Fund will be permitted.
Assets held in this fund are expressed in terms of units and not shares of
stock. Each unit represents a proportionate interest in all of the assets of
this fund. The value of each participant's account is determined each
business day by the number of units to the participant's credit, multiplied
by the current unit value. The return on a participant's investment is based
on the value of units, which, in turn, is determined by the market price of
Delphi common stock, the amount of any dividends paid thereon, and by
interest earned on short-term investments held by the fund.
GM has chosen to invest the General Motors Common Stock Funds, the Raytheon
Class A Common Stock Fund, and the Delphi Common Stock Fund in commingled
funds managed by State Street Bank and Trust ("State Street"). State Street
is responsible for anticipating liquidity needs and maintaining sufficient
cash levels to process participant transactions, determining the daily
number of shares of each individual common stock to be purchased or sold,
and obtaining the best prices for any purchases or sales.
Promark Large Cap Index Fund - During 1999, the name of the Equity Index
Fund was changed to the Promark Large Cap Index Fund. Under this option,
participant contributions are invested in a portfolio of common stocks
managed by GMAM, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Corporation and a
party-in-interest. The investment manager maintains a portfolio which is
designed to match the performance of the Standard and Poor's 500 Index. This
Index is a broad-based index of large companies which operate in a wide
variety of industries and market sectors and which represent over two-thirds
of the market capitalization of all publicly traded common stocks in the
United States.
Assets invested in the fund are expressed in terms of units. The number of
units credited to a participant's account within an applicable plan will be
determined by the amount of participant's contributions and the current
value of each unit in the fund. The value of each participant's account is
determined each business day by the number of units to the participant's
credit, multiplied by the current unit value.
Promark Balanced Fund - During 1999, the name of the Balanced Fund was
changed to the Promark Balanced Fund. Under this option, contributions are
invested in equity and fixed income investments selected from opportunities
available in the entire global capital market, including large and small
capitalization common stocks, investment and non-investment grade bonds,
convertible securities, real estate, emerging market investments, and
venture capital, and may be issued by U.S. and non-U.S. issuers.
Assets invested in the fund are expressed in terms of units. The number of
units credited to a participant's account within an applicable plan will be
determined by the amount of participant's contributions and the current
value of each unit in the fund. The value of each participant's account is
determined each business day by the number of units to the participant's
credit, multiplied by the current unit value.

Promark Income Fund - During 1999, the name of the Income Fund was changed
to the Promark Income Fund. Under this option, funds are invested in
investment contracts issued by insurance companies. The insurance companies
have agreed to provide this fund with a net fixed or floating contract
interest rate that is to be earned over a specified period and payment of
principal and interest upon participant initiated withdrawals and/or
transfers of assets. The Promark Income Fund also invests in a short-term
fixed income fund made up of short-term U.S. Government debt obligations.
The crediting interest rates, fund managers, and contract value of the
investment contracts at December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively, were as
follows:
Interest Interest
Rate Rate

---------- ----------
$26,248,926 $56,984,632
========== ==========
The contract values of the investment contracts approximate their fair
values at December 31, 2000 and 1999. The average yield on investment
contracts for the years ended December 31, 2000 and 1999 was 6.16% and
6.34%, respectively.
In 2000 and 1999, investments were also made in short-term U.S. Government
debt obligations and cash. At December 31, 2000 and 1999, the fair value of
such investments, considered as the Fixed Income Fund, was $20,504,993 and
$6,710,380, respectively.
Assets invested in the fund are expressed in terms of units. The number of
units credited to a participant's account within an applicable plan will be
determined by the amount of participant's contributions and the current
value of each unit in the fund. The value of each participant's account is
determined each business day by the number of units to the participant's
credit, multiplied by the current unit value.
Promark Funds - On April 1, 2000, sixteen Promark funds were added as
investment options for participants in the Plan. These funds have a variety
of investment strategies, and the funds are managed by GMAM. GMAM selects
and monitors investment advisors for each fund. Participants should refer to
the prospectus for further information about the investment strategy of each
fund, and the risks associated with each fund.
Assets invested in the Promark funds are expressed in terms of units. The
number of units credited to a participant's account within an applicable
plan will be determined by the amount of participant's contributions and the
current value of each unit in the respective Promark fund. The value of each
participant's account is determined each business day by the number of units
to the participant's credit, multiplied by the current value.

SATURN INDIVIDUAL SAVINGS PLAN
FOR REPRESENTED MEMBERS
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - Continued
Mutual Funds - This option is comprised of fifty-four (forty-eight as of
December 31, 1999) mutual funds managed by Fidelity Investments, Neuberger
Berman, and Domini. (See Note C). Each fund has a different objective and
investment strategy. To pursue their objectives, the mutual fund managers
invest in a wide variety of investments. Complete information about each
fund's objectives and investments is contained in that fund's prospectus.
Participant Loans - Participants may borrow once per calendar year from both
their tax-deferred and after-tax savings assets. The amount and term of the
loans are limited under the Plan. Loans bear a rate of interest equal to the
prime lending rate as of the last business day of the calendar quarter
immediately preceding the date the participant gives appropriate direction
for a loan to the Plan recordkeeper (interest rates for outstanding loans at
December 31, 2000 ranged from 7.75% to 9.5%). Interest paid on the loans is
credited back to the borrowing participant's account in the Plan. No
earnings accrue to the assets liquidated for the loan. At December 31, 2000
and 1999, loans to participants were $16,158,481 and $15,353,396,
respectively. Repayment of loans is generally made through after-tax payroll
deductions and are invested in the same discretionary investment options
that the participant selected for their savings contributions. Partial and
total repayment of loans is permitted at any time, without penalty. Loans
not repaid within the loan term are deemed to be distributions from
participant's accounts.
Vesting
Participant contributions vest immediately. Saturn matched participant
contributions were made through January 1, 1992 and earnings thereon vest
fully upon the attainment of five years of service, death, total and
permanent disability, or retirement. Effective January 1, 1992, matching of
participant contributions by Saturn was discontinued.
Distributions
Participants may generally withdraw their Tax-Deferred Savings after they
reach age 59-1/2 or prior to age 59-1/2 for Financial Hardship, as defined
in the Plan's "Complete Text". After-Tax Savings, vested Saturn matched
contributions, and related earnings may be withdrawn any time upon a
participant's request. Upon termination of employment, a final distribution
of assets is made unless termination is by retirement or the participant's
account exceeds $5,000. In those instances, the distribution may be deferred
until April 1 of the year after the participant reaches the age of 70-1/2.
Participants who continue working beyond reaching the age of 70-1/2 are not
required to begin distribution.
There were no distributions payable to participants included in net assets
available for benefits as of December 31, 2000 and 1999.
Transfers
Participants may transfer assets between investment options at any time,
with certain limitations.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - Continued
Termination of the Plan
Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, Saturn has the right
under the Plan to terminate the Plan subject to the provisions of ERISA. In
the event of termination, partial termination, or complete discontinuance of
contributions, the administrator may direct the Trustee to:
o continue to administer the Plan and pay account balances in accordance
with the Plan's distribution policy described above, or
o distribute the assets remaining in the Plan in a lump sum to participants
and beneficiaries in proportion to their respective account balances.
B. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Significant accounting policies followed in the preparation of the accompanying
financial statements are as follows:
o The financial statements of the Plan are prepared under accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America using the
accrual method of accounting.
o Investments are stated at fair value, except for investment contracts,
which are stated at contract value which approximates fair value, and
loans to participants, which are stated at cost which approximate fair
value. Fair values are calculated by reference to published market
quotations, where available; where not available for certain common &
collective trusts, various bases, including cost, are used in determining
estimates of fair values. Contract value represents contributions made
under the investment contracts, plus interest, less withdrawals and
administrative expenses charged by the issuer of the contract.
o Securities transactions are recorded on the date the trades are executed.
o Investment income is recognized as earned based on the terms of the
investments and the periods during which the investments are owned by the
Plan.
o The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles in the United States of America requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
amounts of net assets and changes therein. Actual results could differ
from those estimates. The Plan utilizes various investment instruments.
Investment securities, in general, are exposed to various risks, such as
interest rate, credit, and overall market volatility. Due to the level of
risk associated with certain investment securities, it is reasonably
possible that changes in the values of investment securities will occur
in the near term and that such changes could materially affect the
amounts reported in the statements of net assets available for plan
benefits.
- 11 -
SATURN INDIVIDUAL SAVINGS PLAN
FOR REPRESENTED MEMBERS
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - Continued
o Certain costs of Plan administration are paid by Saturn.
o Certain reclassifications have been made in the 1999 financial statements
to conform to the classifications used in 2000.
o Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 133, Accounting
for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, is effective for all
fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. SFAS 133, as amended,
establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative
instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other
contracts, and for hedging activities. Under SFAS 133, certain contracts
that were not formerly considered derivatives may now meet the definition
of a derivative. The Plan will adopt SFAS 133 effective January 1, 2001.
Management does not expect the adoption of SFAS 133 to have a significant
impact on the statement of net assets available for benefits or statement
of changes in net assets available for benefits of the Plan.
C. INVESTMENTS
All of the investments in the Plan are held in the General Motors Savings Plan
Master Trust (the "Master Trust") as more fully described in Note D. The
investment in the Master Trust is participant-directed.

D. THE MASTER TRUST
The Corporation established the Master Trust pursuant to a trust agreement among
the Corporation, Saturn Corporation, and State Street Bank and Trust, as trustee
of the funds, in order to permit the commingling of trust assets of several
employee benefit plans for investment and administrative purposes. The assets of
the Master Trust are held by State Street.
Employee benefit plans participating in the Master Trust as of December 31, 2000
include the following:
o General Motors Savings-Stock Purchase Program for Salaried Employees in
the United States
o General Motors Personal Savings Plan for Hourly-Rate Employees in the
United States
o Saturn Individual Savings Plan for Represented Members
o General Motors Income Security Plan for Hourly-Rate Employees
Each participating employee benefit plan has an undivided interest in the net
assets and changes therein of the Master Trust investment options in which the
respective plan participates.
The net investment income of the commingled Master Trust investment funds (the
GM Common Stock Funds, the EDS Common Stock Fund, the Raytheon Class A Common
Stock Fund, the Delphi Common Stock Fund, and the Promark Funds) is allocated by
the trustee to each participating plan based on that plan's interest in each
commingled Master Trust investment fund, as compared with the total interest in
each commingled Master Trust investment fund of all the participating plans at
the beginning of the month. For all other investment options, the net investment
income is separately earned by the respective employee benefit plan, and is thus
recorded separately in the accounting records of the respective plan.
As of December 31, 2000 and 1999, the Plan had approximately a 1.33% and 1.19%
interest in the Master Trust, respectively.
