GM vehicle? Not me.

[replicant_argent]

Can anyone tell me how Mr. Obama can make the decision to back the warranty of GM if they fnck it up royally? Seriously? He wants the "Gummint" (read: ME) to back a warranty of a company he wants to bankroll and fluff, while Ford isn't taking money? I only caught parts of his UAW pimp speech today, and it is probably good I was distracted, or I would have blown my skull.


The aforementioned was written by a person who has a couple or so decades in working for Chevrolet/Chrysler dealerships and other connections to the auto industry.


Yeah, let's think of another hundred thousand ways to spend millions to piss down the toilet to create nonexistent "jobs" for industries that should have allowed themselves to become part of the latest few decades, rather than ......

<grumbles>


Screw it.

Ok just an FYI on GMs product plans:

Keep:

Chevy, Pontiac(speciality line) Saturn(likely rebranded Opel) Buick, Cadillac

Gone:
GMC(Consumer Vehicles only, Commercial will remain, Chevy will lose thier Commercial line) Hummer, Saab

Chevy will keep most of its line. Impala is becoming RWD. Volt Comes back, Camaro Is back. Possible Kappa Platform car. Malibu will stay. Silverado will stay in all trims. Gone will be commercial vehicles, all will be badged as GMCs. Suburban and tahoe will remain. HHR and Cobalt(new Models coming) Equinox is iffy. Traverse Will remain

Pontiac will Lose: G3, G5, Torrent Keep G8 G6 Vibe and Solstice

Saturn has fresh Model group. wont lose any models but indications are it will be rebaged Opel(the cars are Opels rebranded anyways)

Buick should keep full line, High Perfomance cars(supers) are gone Look for Redesigned RWD sedan

Cadillac no changes for the most part

GMC will lose all non commercial vehicles

Hummer is completly gone

Saab is being sold

Now, all this will be for not if the union doesnt give up some stuff like life long benifits, Job bank etc.

I am a little pissed that they fired Wagoneer. Hes responsible for some of the best cars getting green lighted by GM. Solstice, Volt, Malibu, Lacrosse, CTS

meh. Hope it gets sorted.

I agree with most of your ideas on what to keep and what to lose

I will have to disagree with you on the GMC Yukon part. I personally think that the GMCs have a better interior than the Tahoe. As far as the Equinox I think it should be gone, and keep the Trailblazer.

Trailblazer was replaced with the Traverse

GMC and Chevy Interiors are absolutly identical same part numbers too. QC might be different at the assembly plant though :dunno
