So long as Osama is President, Government Motors can operate at a loss all they like. He’ll always be their to steal more money from future generations to keep GM trying to build his “green” cars…

Your right we should give all that money to wall street types and let the american auto worker just GO AWAY! Whom ever is in office will attemp to help our auto industry. They also need to help themselves . This has been in the works for many years….it just finally hit the fan. But perhaps you would prefer your veh be made in China?

Ford Motor Company didn’t take any bailouts. But Ford knows how to build cars people WANT, while also making a profit.

That’s right, scott. Ford got their loans earlier and started consolidating their platforms, building hybrids, releasing more small cars, and so forth. Smart man, Mulally.
GM has been told of their problems for forty years. It ain’t Obama that screwed them up. It’s their own leadership.

Who is paying for all the Chevy commercials on tv and the four full page ads in newspaper inserts/magazines if they are so strapped?

oh yeah, those small golf cart size cars are flying off the shelves….. I mean lots. Has anyone seen one of these toy cars after it’s been in what would be considered a fender bender? I bought a Lincoln mainly because I like the car and also because Ford told the government to shove the bailout AND the control that came with it.

Are the taxpayers funding Chevy ads?

ricky, sometimes physics has something to do with it. Got rear-ended by a Benz and shoved over 200 m. Though my little Fiat was ruined my wife and I weren’t hurt and I did drive the car home. There that’s at least one fly in your tea,
PS The Benz was towed and the passenger was hospitalized.

All cars are now designed to crumple in a crash and have been for years. How it’s done has improved over the years but you get less of a car even after a seemingly minor fender bender.
Excerpts from How stuff works: Crumple Zones
Force = mass * acceleration
”Of course, it’s easy to build crumple zones into a large vehicle with plenty of room to crumple before the passenger compartment is impacted. Designing crumple zones into small vehicles takes some creativity”
”SUVs often crash with more force than small cars.”
You can choose: You all drive large inefficient cars to feel safer, or have a mixed bag of car sizes on the roads with many more efficient smaller cars on the roads thus really making you safer.
If they’re flying off the shelves, great!
If GM’s crash is slowing down, less damage! Remember:
Force = mass * acceleration

SO scotty, you would prefer GM build smokier, less efficient, more poorly built cars that nobody wants AND totally disappear? I think I see some GM workers standing on your porch waiting to have a talk with you.
You have to come outside sometime!
