GM has stake in every single part of the world, Europe, Asia, Africa, Mexico. Employs over 75,000 employees stateside, not including the GM dealerships. Think about the suppliers that supplies parts (Delphi, Bosch) that will have job losses, cash flow lost, profits. The vendors that rely on GM to stay in business. You're talking about hundreds of thousands of jobs and billions of dollars...gone.

Do I agree in a bailout...yes and no. Yes, because if they go under it'd be worse than a bailout (the global finances will come to a halt). No, because they -DID- make crap products. I'm -Asian- and all I drive is GM. I see it from both sides of the fence. GM's new products are just as good as the import counter parts. Ford is getting better. Chrysler, well they have always been subpar...but getting better. Keep in mind that the next Dodge RAM is the under pinnings for the next Titan. Ford has stake in Mazda and Volvo. More than ever, Domestics and Imports are working to

Stop the UAW from their crazy requirements. Stop the taxing death. Stop bashing the three.

When was the last time anyone who hates em sat in one...

It would be prudent to keep the three alive.
LOL. Bias?Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiigggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhtt tttt. . Businesses fail everyday in this country and you don't see them getting bailed out. This notion that some companies are simply too big to fail is ludicrous.

This county has turned into a bunch of mediocrity and failure rewarding weinies and its sickening. The Big 3 (GM more so than the rest) FUCKED UP BIG TIME. They mad the same car at least 3 times rebadged as something else and didn't even make that great of a product. Think about it. All of GM's recent good products were all made somewhere else by someone else. They had to outsource just to get something good because they weren't doing it over here. So we give OUR money to a bunch of companies that tried to make a quick buck with no future outlook . .

Yea and btw. I drove an 80K H2 last week. For 80K I expect a lot less plastic.
