 Lajdziak to Discuss Saturn's Revitalization Strategy and Ongoing Product
                                Expansion

At the July 11 Motor Press Guild (MPG) luncheon, Saturn General Manager Jill Lajdziak will speak about the company's revitalization and ongoing product expansion lineup. In addition, Lajdziak will discuss the company's marketing strategy behind its new tagline and provide a glimpse into what the future holds for General Motors' fastest-growing brand.

Saturn is in the midst of the biggest product expansion in the brand's history, and Lajdziak is at the helm. With four brand-new product introductions before the year's end and upcoming entries into all-new segments, Saturn is poised for growth like never before.

  Lajdziak will discuss the following 2006 new-vehicle launches in-depth:

    *  Sky -- hot new roadster that is redefining Saturn -- in dealerships
       now
    *  Vue Green Line -- hybrid version of their SUV will see a 20 percent
       boost in fuel economy -- launches this summer
    *  Aura -- bold new sport sedan based closely on the original concept
       vehicle -- launches this summer
    *  Sky Red Line -- a power-boosted, performance-tuned version of their
       new signature roadster -- launches this fall
    *  Outlook -- distinctive new eight-passenger crossover -- launches
       toward the end of the year

In addition to discussing current products and upcoming launches, Lajdziak also will give attendees a sneak preview into Saturn's next-generation products and concept vehicles.

Lajdziak, one of the highest-ranking women in the automotive industry, was appointed Saturn division general manager in March 1999. In her current position, she is responsible for the brand's sales, service and marketing operations. Previously, Lajdziak was executive director for Saturn's Marketing and Retail Network Development, a position she held since July 1997.
