How convenient that this “article” sings the praises of GM and the apparent successes... but completely ignores the reality that in the same time period, GM still lost well over $1.2 BILLION dollars just in this last quarter.

I won’t deny that Chevrolet has a real winner with the new Camaro. But the Volt? Expect to see it on the roads in liberal bastions like California. But what about the rest of the country, where 40 miles wouldn’t even get you where you are going, and there probably isn’t the proper electrical outlet at your destination?

The Escape Hybrid crushes the Equinox in city mileage.
The Cruze is not that impressive next to what you can already get.
The Volt is a niche vehicle at best, although some greenies may love it.

GM lost 1.2B after 1 time charges of 2.4B in repayed loans.

Americans don’t want diesal cars.

Volt will sell in numbers that will meet or exceed expectations.

Yes,it won’t sell in middle American but GM does not expect it to in the next decade. It will sell were Prius sells.

After 40 miles the Volt runs on gas at about 50MPG you dolt.

If GM goes down in will take the supplier network that feeds Ford as well as Chrysler with it. There goes the American auto industry.

GM is on the way back.

I love America more than I hate Obama or bailouts.

Hoping GM fails is like hoping US troops die in Iraq because you don’t like the President.

Stupid and short seighted.
