They got a federal bailout and a tax break on tens of billions in revenue.
Who knew that welfare makes you lazy?
//sarcasm
No more bailouts.
They need to go bankrupt, break the union contracts and show them the door, then they can get to the building quality vehicles phase.

Agreed, that’s exactly what they need to do.

before the public asks, "Is this all GM has got?"
and from your post:

I am not going to ask if this is "all GM has got", nor do I care if they will ever start building quality vehicles. I want them to go bankrupt and sell off their assets to reputable companies. I will never again buy any GM vehicle under any nameplate, past, present, or future. That company is permanently dead to me as a result of the corrupt bailout. I don't deal with crooks, and GM is with Chrysler under a permanent personal boycott because of the manner in which the company's assets were stolen from the rightful claimants under bankruptcy law. I will not be a contributor to any profits that the current GM "shareholders" may receive from their (legalized but still corrupt) grand theft.
Who else thinks the next step is GM transferring existing production/assembly of "American" car lines to Daewoo?
how ‘bout the obama-dawoowoo model?
*grin*
or the moochel-dawoowoo.
Who would have thought that “Make better cars” would be the last strategy considered for increasing car sales?
There is a dilemna, as to which is the better brand image?
Daewoo, or Chevy?
Neither?
A far better managed company named Toyota has added brands over the last 22 years, namely Lexus, Scion and possibly Prius.
During that period GM killed Oldsmobile, Saturn and Pontiac.
Which knows how to manage brands?
Does quality impact image?
At GM the old owners of Oldsmobile were dying, and the products were becoming more stale. SWo GM just killed the brands.
Toyota however knew that Camry might not turn on younger people, but Scions could do so.
So GM has no pupose-crafted brand for young people and Toyota does.
GM remains a poorly managed company.
the next step is force people to buy a GM.
or they will “incentive” people to buy a GM or else.
its for the children.
Outside of the Camaro, GM’s lineup is pathetic, and no match for Ford, who has one of the best offerings of vehicles in their history.
GM will only stay alive as long as the government has its teat out for it to suck on.
Quiet everyone!! The man in the picture is thinking great thoughts.
“Shall we call the Chevy model the Daewoo or the Woohoo, Boohoo? No. Let’s combine Daewoo and Volt...The Dolt!!”
Good post.
In my younger years I owned two different year Olds’ and they were good cars. In latter years I’ve owned two different year Camry’s and they were better cars.
Like you say they don’t appeal to the younger crowd. In fact the new one we have was rated as the average everyday car that doesn’t handle and accelerate like the sportier models. Guess what, that’s what I want if it last us 12 years like the last one did without major repairs. It has all the comforts we want and some supposedly “must haves” that we don’t even use.
As companies go GM has lost it. Ford seems to be doing very well but I’ve only owned their pickups. Toyota was hurt by the bad publicity in the last couple years but that’s supposedly been taken care of, I know I’m not afraid of it.
I’m afraid you’re right about GM only staying alive as long as we dole it out to them and I’m against keeping those UAW workers on the teat.
