Replying to: 210delray (Jan 13, 2009 6:36 am) Ignition Control Module is a shared part. Looks cost efficient to me. I would expect a Chevy dealer to have them on hand.

Replying to: 62vetteefp (Jan 13, 2009 6:07 am) 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. |

Replying to: kernick (Jan 13, 2009 7:53 am) 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. |

Replying to: gagrice (Jan 13, 2009 8:02 am) That's news to me. It can't be done by executive fiat.

Replying to: 62vetteefp (Jan 13, 2009 7:49 am) And that is part of the problem. They can't cut any more without addressing the issue of closing dealerships in a more rapid fashion. By only reducing to 40 brands, they avoid having to buy out dealerships which will cost $$$$. I guarantee they are trying to figure out a cheap way to dispose of Saturn. My plan would be to move the Saturn lineup to Pontiac and drop Saturn. At one point, when it still had the plastic body, Saturn could have been sold but now it's too integrated. I like the future plans of Saturn and it would fit Pontiac. Also you have more Pontiac dealerships which will give these cars more visibility and hopefully more sales. Drop Buick except for overseas where China evidently loves Buick. GM is spending a ton of money on Buick to only see 137,000 in sales (2008 Buick sales). Hummer and Saab would be on sale at Walmart prices. I wonder how many of the 137,000 Buick sales are rental or fleet vehicles????? (62vette help) |
