I think the best thing the Corvette has going for it is that it makes money. I don't know how it's been doing lately, but traditionally it does well.

IMHO, GM would be best off if they'd just declare bankruptcy, renegotiate the UAW contracts, trim the many folds of fat they have, and THEN crawl to Uncle Sam asking for a loan. Any cash bailouts won't teach them anything, and I work in a tire plant that sends a good portion (if not most) of our tires to be OEM on GM cars, so I NEED them to survive.

I would hate to see GM go down, along with the many suppliers like where Chewy works. I mean that must mean millions of jobs. But I have to wonder where does the bailout money end? A lot of people are in a tough spot.

I hope someone figures out a way for them to survive without simply throwing money at them and hoping for the best.

I read where a 50% cut in production by the big 3 would result in a loss of 2.5M jobs around the country.

GM says they can't even file for bankruptcy because they don't have the cash to keep operating though the process.

GM also said they don't expect Delphi to survive bankruptcy. If that is true, where are they going to get so many of the parts that Delphi makes?

And even if GM does manage to survive, what might happen to them if Obama renegotiates NAFTA, as promised? GM has so many plants and suppliers in Canada and Mexico these days. The added costs could sink them if they manage to stay afloat until then.

Lots of questions with few good answers.

I don't see how our government can give AIG 180 billion and not give GM the 50 billion they are asking for...

How many people work (and would lose their jobs) if AIG went out of business vs...the 3 big three american automakers...?

I recently read that toyota, and honda are saying the worst thing that oculd happen to them would be if GM went bankrupt....

Reason being if GM goes bankrupt so would their suppliers... and since GM and toyota and Honda share suppliers....the foreign makers wouldn't have a plan to deal with production and the effected suppliers going bankrupt...
