A Hummer? Chinese money? Technology winds up in China’s hands?

Reminds me of the clinton years.

I’ve heard Chinese hummers are quite popular.

Wow. Where do I sign up to learn to speak Mandarin Chinese? Because the way things are going, it’s starting to look like they will be our future overlords.

I only have two references about Hummer, so it might not be totally true.

First I thought seriously about buying a H3. After a series of drive tests, no way. Tippy, drive dynamics sucked, jsut the whole package was out of date styled and executed. The local dealer went bust about a year ago.

Second a doctor friend has ownered an H2 for 3 years, he says no way would he buy another. Way too many problems.

So that’s my tale and I’m sticking to it. No hummer for me.

This is a brilliant move by the Chi coms as they strategize our demise.

Now that they will be a huge military vendor, perhaps we should also sell them Lockheed, Raytheon & General Dynamics. We can give them “conversion features” like on those GM Preferreds where if they keep buying our Treasuries, they can convert them to NASA shares as well.

Obama taught us that Iranians can have nukes but we have to have solar power and electric cars

and now, Obama taught us that China can have Hummers but we cannot have a private auto industry

This is going to save American manufacturing jobs? What are they smoking? The Chicoms will close the plant and move the machine tools to Canton, where they will be manufactured from now on.

I suspect this will work out as well as did the IBM -> Lenovo laptop division sale. After manufacturing moves to China (as it inevitably will) the quality fade will make everyone long for current level of GM/UAW lack of quality.

GM is unloading a number of divisions. I heard some GM spokeshole this afternoon talking about returning to 14 million unit sales in the near future. How do you do that when you have sold off so many divisions that contributed to the 14 million unit sales level?

Those divisions did contribute to that figure didn’t they?

If so, then I think it’s silliness to think they’ll be back at 14 million unit sales any time soon, if ever.

Saturn was a well respected brand. So was Humvee in it’s nitch market.

Some people strive to build a new brand, and GM had them, yet they’re happy as hogs in mud to dump them. I don’t get it.

How do you close 2,000 dealerships, sell off brands, focus on cars nobody wants, then expect to make a thrilling recovery?

Good luck GM. Or should I say good luck taxpayers? We own what, 70% of GM now.

It will end up the same size, but with seating for 24.
