Cash for clunkers was a drop in the bucket and helped Ford and Toyota more than any other company.
GM was idle for much of the inventory buildup due to bankruptcy and suppliers afraid to ship for fear of not being paid.
GM is at a disadvantage for police fleets. Crown Victoria rocks there. It does as well as Ford every where else.
GM is not losing its last lifeline, that is just plain silly.
GM also has a better contract with UAW than Ford. Ford UAW locals have rejected new concessions right when Ford financials looked to uptick.
Sad sad day when so many freepers are rooting for such a mighty coporate American giant to fail.
I love America more than I hate Zero.
I want GM to succeed because it means so many American jobs and a rising tide to the US economy as a whole.
I guess Freepers that hate GM root for American troops to die in the battlefield because Zero is the Commander and Chief?
You've been cheer leading for Government Motors for awhile, Reaganez, and that's fine.
But this statement is over the top. Many Freepers don't care to do business with a "company" owned and run by the government, as is their right. Equating that with rooting for American troops to die on the battlefield is shameful.
You need an attitude check, skippy. And the expression is "Commander in Chief.
“I love America more than I hate Zero.”
I do also, however, keeping the unions afloat will assure that dems continue to get elected.
“I guess Freepers that hate GM root for American troops to die in the battlefield because Zero is the Commander and Chief?”
Absolutely absurd presumption! Most freepers don’t hate General Motors; just Government Motors!
I am a Jeep and GM owner now. I will not replace them. I will not buy a Government Motor car. I do not believe in Socialism.
