DETROIT -- General Motors Corp. appeared headed toward a record-short escape from bankruptcy protection Thursday despite a last-minute appeal that a legal expert said was unlikely to stand in the way.

A bankruptcy judge's order approving the sale of most of GM's assets to a new company was to go into effect at noon. An appeal was filed just before the deadline by plaintiffs in an Arizona product liability lawsuit against the automaker. It was unclear if the appeal delayed the sale approval.

There is a difference between “supported by their government” and “owned by their government”.

To answer your question, if I were to buy a new vehicle right now, I would probably go with a Ford. At least they had the gumption to refuse the government bailout and avoid bankruptcy on their own.

My, my, you are a bit touchy for a Marine....

...and last I checked, I still live in a free country,...

Well, no you don't. This country is far from free, and has been for years.

Nevertheless, let it be known that any GM or Chrysler product parked on my property that was manufactured on or after June 1, 2009 will be heavily damaged. I will NOT allow a fascist-mobile to sit in my driveway.

FORD?

Yea, well we Viet Nam combat veterans quit buying new FORD’s when they opened a plant in Nam and FORD started flying the Vietnamese Communist flag at corporate headquarters.

Semper Fi,
Kelly

Yep, the damage is done.....wrongfully appointed owners now are able to transition debt-free to continue to do business under the government’s thumb. Guess what GM? It will be a freezing cold day in hell before I even think about looking at a new GM car, period....all you UAW and government workers can eat the plastic, what little metal, foam and other materials those cars will be made of because you won’t be getting any money for them.

I am retired from Hughes Aircraft Company. Hughes was owned by GM and I am eligible for the employee discount. I have bought my last GM car. From now on it is non-UAW for me.

It's not their pocket that's deep - it's the pockets of the taxpayers that they're robbing, not to mention they own the printing press.

I’d keep checking on that “free country” thing if I were you. Won’t be long before you’ll HAVE to buy a GM, and it won’t be a Corvette.
