lol...you must not have much of a clue on how the government works (no problem) when they have the strong hand they do whatever the hell they want. thats all their is to it. When you have 51% or more of a business you are the primary shareholder and make the decisions.

pretty much everything made now a days is gas saving. full size trucks getting 20+ mpg's, corvette's.. etc.. get used to it. it wont be because gm is 60% owned by the government. its been happening. so things will change but not like you think they will.. and if gm does decide to off trucks and some cool cars we still have. gm will go bye bye. after spending all this money on gm i dont think they would like to see it tank. imo.

I am brand loyal, but it is gms own fault. Which is the result of the big ceo's exc that don't really give a **** about the car comp, but the money that they can stuff in there pockets imo. I hope they make a fast recoup, start to see wtf is going on...
