#5338 of 16732 Porsche 928 S (sport) by dallasdude1 Nov 21, 2008 (10:22 pm)
What ever happened to the Porsche 928? To me that was an awesome car for its time. Like other UAW greats its history. 1996 Impala SS, 2002 Z28 Camaro (Canada), and others cars which were scrubbed, once perfected. Just who is running these car companies? Can anyone think of other bone yard cars, which should still be made? UAW or non-union?

Replying to: michaell (Nov 21, 2008 12:09 pm) It's hard to believe that Wagoner, Mullaly and Nardelli had nothing better to offer than "Business as Usual".    Isn't that what got them into this mess?   Wagoner's story is that GM has *already* done its restructuring (the health care givebacks, two-tier wage scales for the union, some cuts in force, etc.) that have provided the structural change for competitiveness. It's just that this unanticipated economic situation has caused a cash flow problem and the money they want is a bridge loan until the economy improves.   I find it laughable that he thinks that with eight divisions still standing, with the Camaro and Volt coming as the "save the day" models, he's done enough restructuring. What he thinks is restructuring many of us think is just nibbling around the edges. Real restructuring will be far more massive, impactful, and brutal than the efforts they have made so far. And it needs to happen if GM is to be saved. Replies to this message: circlew (Nov 22, 2008 5:58 am)

Completely agree and the shy arrogance that came across from Wagoner proves he is not prepared for huge change. Congress must demand massive change.   With Obama in back of a Prepackaged Bankruptcy, it's seems more possible that needed change will be enough. Just loaning them the money is like giving Mike Tyson another $50M to play with!!   Regards, OW
