When you make good products, this economy is no big deal

LOL, last I checked GM would need to sell more than 24,000 units to survive. GM's average consumer can't afford an M-car and BMW's M division doesn't keep their lights. Like I said Apples and Oranges.

Please note my comments should not be viewed that I'm in favor of bailout, rather they are directed to your argument.

Yes Apples and Oranges...... A Cadillac CTS is in no way comparable to a 335i. An STS-V is nothing like an M5 nor is a XLR anything like a Mercedes SL or a 6 series. The V series is just a badge, not something to compete with an M... That's leaving out Pontiac, Saab etc. a sport and luxury brand which also has dismal sales. If depreciation were something to compete for, I think anything GM could wave that flag of victory.
This "cheaper" market they sell to is trounced by the Japanese and there luxury car market is trounced by the Germans. They struggle to make a good car or two
