I just heard Biden today. He said something like “I have a bumper sticker for you: Osama is dead and GM is alive.”
They may want to stop the presses on that one for a while. ;-)
“Supporting Investment” is Orwellian double-speak for “Government Takeover” of more private industry
Yes, Obama wants to bring his world view of justice to America. America must be brought down and the third world, particularly the Muslim world, must be raised on the bones of the West. Obama constantly lies and deceives, but he despises America and is trying to end it.
GM pissed me off when they discontinued the 8.1 Vortec engine under pressure from certain groups that it was too much engine for the peasants. I have a 2002 Silverado dually with it, an amazingly powerful reliable engine, originally designed as a marine engine. And yes its s fuel drunkard.
Because of Gm’s financial problems they won’t be coming out with any new aids or tech on their vehicle lineup, same old stuff as before.
I want my money back..GM is a UNION slush fund.
GM is failing because they should have aggressively reduced themselves to Cadillac, Chevrolet, GMC Trucks and Opel/Vauxhall and unified their product line just like what Ford—and GM should have implemented this plan back in 2009.
Can someone explain THAT one to me ???

Subsidizing failure and sloth is never a good idea.
The Law of Nature strikes again.
If Romney wins, he should just pull the plug. Let the unions die.
GM, like all American branded automakers, never sold that many cars to Democrats. Now they’re not selling cars to any self-respecting Republicans, either. Double whammy.
I have to call BS on this...
I work for an automotive equipment supplier..
I have not been this busy in my whole time in this industry..
and gm is leading the way, they are upgrading every single plant..
I think part of this was during the bankruptcy they went “garbage picking” in the old plants and took equipment to the plants that remained open...
all of that equipment was old to start with, and now it is worn out...
I have walked into plants and seen equipment roped off and shut down to pedestrian and vehicle traffic because it is so old and worn out it is now hazardous..
they have no choice but to spend money now, so they must have it if they are spending it...
BUT! CNN Says this is a good thing:

You’d think GM, supposedly a company conceived in the crucible of capitalism, would have realized the FAIL in going socialist.
Is anyone really surprised at his?
My guess? Eventually rebadge Opel's to Euro_Chevy's and hope to get soccer fans to but them across the pond.
Knowing what I know about auto design cycles and their cost, that is a hellofa lotta money for a major new design or refreshes on "x" number of others. Not money well spent IMHO....
