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 (the "Plan") as of
December 31, 1996 and 1995, 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 generally accepted auditing
standards. These standards require that we plan and perform the audits 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,
1996 and 1995, and the changes in its net assets available for benefits for the
years then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedules of (1) assets
held for investment purposes as of December 31, 1996 and (2) reportable
transactions for the year ended December 31, 1996 are presented for the purpose
of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial
statements, but are supplementary information required by the Department of
Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. These schedules are the responsibility
of the Plan's management. Such schedules have been subjected to the auditing
procedures applied in the audit of the basic 1996 financial statements and, in
our opinion, are fairly stated in all material respects when considered in
relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

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 ("Corporation"), established a defined contribution plan, the Saturn
Individual Savings Plan for Represented Members. The Finance Committee of the
Corporation's Board of Directors 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 a 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 "Complete Text" of the Plan for
a comprehensive description.
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 temporary, 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 may elect to contribute to the Plan in several ways:
o Participants may contribute up to 18% of Eligible Earnings (20% effective
January 1, 1997) 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 18% of Eligible Earnings (20% effective
January 1, 1997), or $9,500 and 9,240 for the years ended 1996 and 1995,
respectively, 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").
Description of Investment Options:
GENERAL MOTORS CORPORATION COMMON STOCK $1-2/3 PAR VALUE - Under this
option, a participant's contributions are invested in General Motors common
stock.
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.
- 6 -
SATURN INDIVIDUAL SAVINGS PLAN
FOR REPRESENTED MEMBERS
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - Continued
Assets invested in the Common Stock Fund are expressed in terms of units
rather than shares of stock. Each unit represents a proportionate interest
in all of the assets of the Common Stock Fund. The number of units credited
to a participant's account will be determined by the amount of the
participant's contributions and the purchase price of a unit.
EQUITY INDEX FUND - Under this option, participant contributions are
invested in a portfolio of common stocks managed by an investment manager.
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.
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.
From time to time, investment managers may use derivative financial
instruments including forward exchange contracts and futures contracts.
Derivative instruments are used primarily to mitigate exposure to foreign
exchange rate and interest rate fluctuations as well as manage the
investment mix in the portfolio. The Plan's interest in funds which utilized
such financial instruments is not considered significant to the Plan's
financial statements.
Effective January 1, 1995, the above three options were included under the
General Motors Savings Plans Master Trust (See Note F.)
INCOME FUND - Under this option, funds are invested in investment contracts
issued by insurance companies. The issuing 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 crediting interest rates, fund managers and contract value of the
investment contracts at December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively, were as

SATURN INDIVIDUAL SAVINGS PLAN
FOR REPRESENTED MEMBERS
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - Continued
The contract value of the investment contracts approximates their fair value
at December 31, 1996 and 1995. The average yield on investment contracts for
the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995 was 6.70% and 6.78%,
respectively.
In 1996 and 1995, investments were also made in short-term U.S. Government
debt obligations and cash. At December 31, 1996 and 1995, the fair value of
such investments, considered as the Fixed Income Fund was $8,957,879 and
$4,457,488, respectively.
MUTUAL FUNDS - This option is comprised of four core option mutual funds and
thirty-five self directed account mutual funds managed by Fidelity
Investments. (See Note C.) The core option mutual funds are Fidelity
Magellan, Puritan, Contrafund and Asset Manager. Each fund has a different
objective and investment strategy. To pursue their objectives, the 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.
VESTING
Participant contributions vest immediately. Saturn matched participant
contributions made through January 1, 1992 and earnings thereon vest fully upon
the attainment of 5 years of service, death, total and permanent disability or
retirement.
DISTRIBUTIONS
Participants may 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 participants account exceeds $3,500. In
those instances, the distribution may be deferred until April 1 of the year
after the participant reaches the age of 70-1/2.
There were no distributions payable to participants included in net assets
available for benefits as of December 31, 1996 and 1995.
TRANSFERS
Participants may transfer assets between Investment Options at any time, with
certain limitations.
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, 1996 ranged from 6% to
9%). Interest paid on the loans is credited back to the borrowing participant's
account in the Plan. No earnings will accrue to the assets liquidated for the
loan. At December 31, 1996 and 1995 loans to participants were $9,001,970 and
$6,926,226, respectively.

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 in Note A, 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 Investments are stated as follows:
- Value of Interest in General Motors Savings Plans Master Trust - at
estimated market prices of the assets in the Master Trust as
determined by the investment manager.
- Investment Contacts - at contract value, which consists of cost plus
accumulated interest.
- Common/Collective Trust - Fixed Income Fund - at estimated market
prices of the assets in the Fund as determined by the investment
manager.
- Mutual Funds - at quoted market value.
o General Motors common stock, $1-2/3 par value, acquired by the Trustee
for purposes of the Plan may be obtained by purchases on the open
market or from the Corporation by subscription or purchase. Such
stock acquired by the Trustee on the open market is credited to the
participants' accounts at the average per share cost of such purchases
(excluding brokerage commissions, transfer taxes, etc.) made for each
month. Stock obtained by the Trustee directly from the Corporation is
credited to participants' accounts either at the average per share
cost to the Trustee of the open market purchases of the stock acquired
for a particular month or, in those months in which the Trustee
acquires no stock on the open market, at the average of the daily mean
high and low market prices of the stock as reported on the Composite
Tape of Transactions for such month.
o Securities transactions are recorded on the date the trades are
executed.
o Net appreciation in value of investments held, sold, or distributed
represents the change in the market value of the Plan's investments
during the year.
o Investment income is recognized as earned.
o The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect amounts reported therein. Due to the inherent
uncertainty involved in making estimates, actual results reported in
future periods may be based upon amounts which differ from those
estimates.
o Certain costs of Plan administration are paid by Saturn.
o Certain reclassifications have been made to prior-year amounts to conform
with current-year presentation.

D. SHARE AND UNIT VALUES
All assets invested in the Plan are expressed in terms of units. The number of
units credited to each participant's account will be determined by the amount of
deferred savings 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. The
following summarizes the Plan's number of units and the value of each unit by

F. THE MASTER TRUST
As of December 21, 1994, the Corporation established the General Motors Savings
Plans Master Trust (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 Bank and Trust.
Employee benefit plans participating in the Master Trust 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 Saturn Personal Choices Savings Plan for Non-Represented Members
The Master Trust is composed of five master trust investment options: the GM
$1-2/3 Value Common Stock Fund, the GM Class H, $.10 Par Value Common Stock
Fund, the EDS Common Stock Fund, the Equity Index Fund, and the Balanced Fund.
Each of these investment options that are available under the Plan is described
in Note A. Each participating employee benefit plan has an undivided interest in
the net assets and changes therein of the applicable master trust investment
options.
The net investment income of each of the Master Trust investment funds is
allocated by the trustee to each participating plan based on that plan's
interest in each Master Trust investment fund, as compared with the total
interest in each Master Trust investment fund of all the participating plans at
the beginning of the month.
The Plan's share of the total Master Trust is summarized as follows as of
December 31, 1996 and 1995:
