ORION TOWNSHIP, Mich. -- Michigan has snatched back a few of its fast-disappearing auto jobs, winning a high-stakes competition with two other states to build General Motors Corp.'s next-generation subcompact car.
The news is a bright spot in an otherwise gloomy Michigan economy that has seen unemployment hit a nation-leading 14.1 percent, lots of housing foreclosures, unpaid furlough days for state workers and uncertainty for thousands of others worried about whether they'll still be getting a paycheck in the months ahead.

Well, the government will be the only ones buying them for the low level GSs, I bet the GS10+ will all get Escalades, and Tommy Hilfiger underwear.
Hurrah!!! Hotdog!!!
I will never buy anything made by GM or Chrysler. Ford maybe, but only if the vehicle is not defiled by the hands of a UAW member.
A predictable failure within a predictable failure.
I guess the AFL-CIO will be driving two or three new cars every year, cause nobody else will buy Government Motors Cars.
What a joke. They can build them but nobody will buy them...well nobody with any sense.
At least they’ll pretend to work rather than bitch about reparations and watch WWF Pay-Per-View.
I’ve owned 63, 64, 71, 76, 85, 89, 97, 01, 05, 06 and 07 Chevys. I’ll never buy another one.
Oh wow! Michigan and the fools who still believe in the UAW get to make cars that Americans will not buy! And some idiot reporter who has never built a damn thing, has never met a payroll, never managed even a lemonade stand is cheering?
When did common sense commit suicide?
Is that the carrot they dangled in front of Conyers?
Now all they have to do is find some fools dumb enough to buy those pieces of crap while paying Obama and Pelosi’s outrageous taxes for electricity and gas. ‘RATS are such morons. They are always shooting themselves in the foot while shooting Americans in the back.
The Obamacar
"Incredibly 'green,' this car runs on hot air and broken promises. It has three wheels that speed the vehicle through tight left turns. It comes complete with two Teleprompters programmed to help the occupants talk their way out of any violations. Built by union labor with full benefits, its base price is only $83,000, but low government financing is available for any payment requested. Subsidized insurance available."
I was a GM man. I will not buy any government sponsored vehicle. Toyota will be the maker of my next car.
Great news. Too bad no one is buying cars...
Ford makes some excellent cars, I will buy one just to piss on the Statists.
Do you think that the announcement that Orion would get the new small car and the announcement that Conyers was dropping his probe of ACORN on the same day is a coincidence?
Oh yeah. What wonder kind of bribes have been made to the others? I wonder what kind of plans they have for the US and why our Congress is complicite and I wonder if anyone has any knowledge of these Congress people including Pelosi have had any insider knowlege or planning of what companies they are pushing? Some one knows
