    I don't get why they will sell/discontinue those two brands but killed Pontiac altogether. No fucking wonder they are up shit creek. Who makes their decisions?

    The sad thing is the styling of the Pontiacs is so much better than the Chevrolets. I guess since they are such similar cars they dont want someone else taking over and getting their R&D stuff? Maybe.


    I wish GM never would have purchased AM General. They ruined the hummer and turned it into a yuppy douce mobile.

    Of course most trucks are turning into sissy mobiles anyway.

    "I bought a truck but I want it to ride smooth like a car"

    Yea, they tried that it's called the el camino (Ranchero for you Ford people).

    I'm done with them washing my hand of any idea of buying a new GM, Ford, or Chrysler. American cars suck and Americans take it in the ass when they buy one and support some communist UAW fagot.

    I like the look of that new Mitsubishi full size.

    GM reveals incentive package as it tries to shed workers

    So get ready for yet another invasion of fagoty ass Yankees with no real skills but to preach the merits of unions, regulations, codes, and how they run little league where their from to a productive town near you. They can be spotted driving a new car and with a wad of cash to hire a lawyer with.

    I bet most of them take it to arbitration. 25k car voucher wont even by you a car, unless you want a cobalt. Then with them 'lessening' production, it is just going to drive the car prices up. Boy when he said 'share' the wealth he really meant it.

    I wonder why he didnt say 'even out the tax burden' which would have made more sense and not sounded like communism. Put the 'keebosh' on tax shelters. I guess because he takes advantage of said shelters is why they dont do that.

    yeah paint it a different color its all the same. Its a shame there you can see your tax dollars at work a company with no money because the UAW ran the company in the dirt is now using your money to give the knuckle dragging idiots more money in their wallets on their way out the door.

    Won't happen for your non-union company. Guarantee it.

    How about the chinese company buying Hummer?

    I dont think the Military is getting any more new H1s, I know they are retooling a ass load of them (there is even a place here in Augusta that does it), but I was under the impression it was on the way out. I hope so, how smart is it to send your primary soldier moving vehicles production to a communist country?

    That's like the Russians buying Grumman.

    I certainly wouldn't buy an American vehicle from here on out. Just think of how the integrity of a pissed-off rivet-nailer whom made far more than his worth is going to drop when he realizes that his benefits are being reduced.

    I simply wouldn't trust the average UAW to build even the simplest of parts these days. I wouldn't put it past some of them to intentionally sabotage their own products as a (poorly thought-out) form of retaliation.

    It's a damn shame, too. There are some great designs out there now, and I had high hopes for the new Camaro (would have LOVED to had seen the Pontiac Firebird version, as I always preferred their styling to Chevy's,) the new Challenger, etc.

    Guess I'll just have to tub out a '69 El Camino.

    The Chinese own ports in America. remember a company from a socialist country is their government. The Chinese own the entrance and exit of the Panama canal.

    Thanks to Clinton.

    Now they own most of America thanks to Obama.

    As for Russia and hummers...
