Ladies and Gentlemen:

General Motors Company, a Delaware corporation (the Company), hereby requests that the effectiveness of the above-referenced Registration Statement, as amended, be accelerated to 12:00 p.m. Eastern Time on November 17, 2010, or as soon thereafter as practicable. The Company hereby acknowledges its responsibilities under the Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as they relate to the proposed public offerings of the securities specified in the above-referenced Registration Statement.

The Company hereby acknowledges that:

 

   

should the Securities and Exchange Commission (the Commission) or the staff, acting pursuant to delegated authority, declare the filing effective, it does not foreclose the Commission from taking any action with respect to the filing;

 

   

the action of the Commission or the staff, acting pursuant to delegated authority, in declaring the filing effective, does not relieve the Company from its full responsibility for the adequacy and accuracy of the disclosure in the filing; and

 

   

the Company may not assert staff comments and the declaration of effectiveness as a defense in any proceeding initiated by the Commission or any person under the federal securities laws of the United States.

Please contact William L. Tolbert, Jr. of Jenner & Block LLP, counsel to the Company, at (740) 633-9500 as soon as the Registration Statement has been declared effective, or if you have any other questions or concerns regarding this matter.
