building cars people are eager to buy

Memo to Government Motors: for me, that does not include tiny cars running on batteries.

“At a news conference, CEO Fritz Henderson said the revamped automaker will be faster and more responsive to customers than the old one.”

That will be a neat trick - with a fraction of the dealers - and their service sucked to begin with...

He said the U.S. government, which owns a majority stake in GM, has vowed that it would not get involved in day-to-day decisions.

Good luck with that Fritzy. You’re still going to have union workers working for you.

I'm sure the government backed-warranty will deliver a most excellent customer experience.

Saw a Subaru wagon on sale yesterday, 40 plus thousand for a crappy little Subaru?
No wonder they are having trouble selling cars.

The goobermint check wasn’t even cashed before Barney Fwank started interfering with plant/dc closings.

F GM!
I’ll never buy another UAW-made car again.
Even a Ford.

It’s time to kill the UAW!

If I buy American,it will be Ford.

They didn’t,like GM and Chrysler,sell their free market souls to Obama in order to save their union bosses and their fat pay and benifit packages at taxpayer expense.

Both are now Unamerican Motors in my book.

Yep.

GM will just join Amtrak and the USPS as one more government organization that need not be concerned with profitability.

blah, blah, blah - and what changed during the bankruptcy? Prediction - they will continue to receive taxpayer cash on a regular basis until they are shut down for good, or, they will be back into bankruptcy in the next couple of years.

They make and sell junk cars, have for decades, and I, for one, will never own one of their vehicles.

1. GM has been clueless about what cars people want to buy for over 30 years now.
2. Given the above GM will build what they are told to build.
3. What a waste of metal and plastic.

It will generate cash and repay billions in government loans ahead of a 2015 deadline.

How that line of BS is never challenged I'll never know.
