Ah the WSJ has picked up on the story. Shortened story at the link but if you search for Shanghai GM on Google News, you should find the whole story.

Replying to: circlew (Jan 08, 2009 10:51 am) But of course since they've already planned for a "worse case" scenario the chances of it being worse than that should be infinitesimal by definition, right? (unless thier economists who project these things are not the best!)

Replying to: 62vetteefp (Jan 08, 2009 10:56 am) Could it be that the average vehicle price dropped? The increase was listed in units, while the sales drop was implied to be $$ value. If the vehicles were less expensive then the units could go up while the sales amounts could still go down. |

Replying to: 62vetteefp (Jan 08, 2009 4:42 am) Seems to me the lion's share of design work on the Camaro was done in Australia. I suppose the US-based powertrain crew would count for a few hundred jobs.

Replying to: m4d_cow (Jan 08, 2009 7:18 am) You claim there are about 40 crappy GM models. can you give specifics? Maybe put together a list from crappy to really crappy. maybe starting with Escalade, Lucerne, Sierra and Surburban, and ending with Cobalt, G6, Impala, and Lacrosse. When I study these vehicles, I can't find the list of problems you insist exists.

Replying to: dave8697 (Jan 08, 2009 4:35 pm) Cobalt Aveo Impala Equinox G3 G6 Solstice Sky (but they look good) Astra Those are just off the top of my head, not as familiar with trucks and SUVs; feel free to pitch in.

You forgot to include the HHR in the crappy category. Definitely a front runner for Turkey of the year in 2008 or 2009.
