Let me say this as plainly as I can.

Oh, that crap is so grating.

GM says they won't cover warranties of the "Old GM" company, because after all, they're two different companies. But hey, the fedgov promised to make everything just fine. Yay! Spend more money!

[Jim Robinson]

Obama is an idiot.

[dila813]

Your honor, I want to play the tape of the President of the United States saying he would take care of this recall issue on my car.

Can’t wait to see the law suits!

AWESOME! Obama didn’t have the authority to make that promise and no legislation will back him up on it.

What an idiot!

[Lurker]

This is absolutely insane.

[JSDude1]

Here comes the Auto Bailouts: Part II (Let’s go for more debt)!..(so that Obama can be reelected).

[Zeppo]

Obama: “If you’ve got health insurance, you like your doctors, you like your plan, you can keep your doctor, you can keep your plan”...

Uh, yeah, sure...

[freekitty]

You got that right.

The democrats stole the GM bondholders money and turned it over to the UAW.

I will never ever buy anything made by these bailed out auto companies that are owned by thieves.

I want them all to wind up living in cardboard boxes on the streets of Detroit.

Ford KILL and capture the entire car industry by using the MyT engine of Angel Labs.. http://angellabsllc.com/mytengine.html

This things is amazing in its scope...
I would LUV to have an outboard engine with one of these..
More power small footprint.. more mileage.. air cooled no oil.. lasts forever.. few moving parts.. easy to rebuild.. On and ON..

Amazing to me that it hasnt been sucked up somebody.. even the Japs.. or Koreans..
Simply amazing performance and concept..

[Lazlo in PA]

My thoughts exactly. Who will be guaranteeing the cars? The NEW GM or the OLD GM. This is a bunch of BS.

The Impala in dispute in the lawsuit. If you drive one of these, save some money for tires.

[Nachum]

The list, ping

Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list

"Because starting today, the United States will stand behind your warranty."

Uh, may need a little fixing:

Because starting today, everyones tax dollars the United States will pay for stand behind your warranty."

While I certainly agree with your concise assessment of him as “an idiot” I’m flummoxed as to why you folks are discussing an article written in 2009 as if it were happening today.

Granted, the ramifications for today are here (as in the Impala lawsuit) but that wasn’t an issue when this article was written.

(Or am I reading this wrong?)

[Lazlo in PA]

No. You read it right. Apparently I was scammed thinking this article was a follow up to the lawsuit the transpired this week over the ‘07-’08 Impala. Nice catch.

[shibumi]

For a minute I thought someone was playing “Let’s do the time warp again...” and I just couldn’t hear it.

[Tunehead54]

See #8 - GM is denying (today) warranty coverage for “old” pre-bankruptcy cars whereas Obummer put the full faith and credit behind GM and Chrysler warranties in an effort to boost sales of Government Motors vehicles. The article just points this out. ;-)

[exnavy]

As my grandpa used to say, if it sounds to good to be true ... well, you know.

[ScoopAmma]

It’s just a jump to the left. And then a step to the right.
