Uh, the keyword here is FORD. Ford's sales will hold at least imo. They've improved in many areas, and the 2010 Fusion is only steps away from hitting showrooms. Plus, they didn't take the bailout, a somewhat bold move which resonates dearly with American public, particularly those agitated with their tax money going to D2 and WS pockets.
 
Plus, 12 days worth of sales don't necessarily reflect anything.

From what was clarified by 62vette (i think), the $18 billion is the $13 billion they are currently receiving and the $5B that GMAC received.
 
don't be surprised if they need more money.....

Yes they would do the warranty work. Might have an ignition model on hand if it is shared with Chev models. Not sure on the loaner. I think it is up to individual dealers.

2005 Ion
Ignition Control Module is a shared part. Looks cost efficient to me. I would expect a Chevy dealer to have them on hand.

I gotta tell you this is totally bogus. All GM work/parts are warrantied at any GM dealer.

I agree with earlier posters that cutting 8 models out of 48 over 3 years is simply not going far enough. GM needs to cut more overlapping models and quickly!
 
One issue are the all new models that will be coming out.
 
But back to the original comment. GM looks to be keeping to the restructuring plan they submitted.

Czubay estimated that the industry is on track to sell 20,000 to 30,000 more vehicles this month than in December.
 
Probably due to all this Global Warming. In the last day or so I've seen reports on a few 50 vehicle accidents due to the rotten winter winter; never mind all the 1's and 2's. And I believe there have been some flooding in the NW. So I can see an uptick due to all the extra vehicles that have been destroyed, if nothing else.
 
The economy right now is headed down towards a depression, if nothing major changes. The car companies had better prepare for much worse. If I were GM I'd sell or shutdown permanently 1/3 of their production next week, go bankrupt, and eliminate the union and bring in replacement workers.

Excellent advice. Just too logical for guys like Wagoner. There are 16,000,000 supposedly out of work and 12,000,000 illegals that will become citizens on January 21st. That means about 28 million people that would be thrilled with a job paying half of what the average UAW worker now gets. And they would do the job without complaining and looking for a reason to go on strike. A no brainer for Wagoner.

That's news to me.
 
It can't be done by executive fiat.
