So Buick is still higher than what Accord/Camry do in the midsize but much lower than for large car and much lower what it used to be. |

Replying to: 210delray (Jan 13, 2009 8:33 am) It can't be done by executive fiat. It was a campaign promise by our President elect. Are you saying that the 111th Congress will not jump when President Obama says to? One of his many statements on the subject: "Give the 12 million people who are here illegally… many of whom have U.S. citizens for children…a pathway to legalization." Again with that many more legal workers looking for good jobs the Auto industry is a Natural. They are hard working people that are used to a tough life. The sooner GM sheds itself of the UAW burden the sooner they will start to compete with the imports being built here.

Replying to: gagrice (Jan 13, 2009 11:07 am) C'Mon, Gary !! ( I really don't know how much FARTHER we could get from the topic, but I can't let that comment stand.) "A pathway to legalization" is so far, far, FAR away from saying "on this date you are automagically a citizen" that I can't believe a person would associate the two comments.

I gotta tell you this is totally bogus. All GM work/parts are warrantied at any GM dealer. Hey, I'm just telling reality. Whether you want to believe it or not is your choice. Surely there's a good reason a longtime GM loyalist turned his back on GM right when GM needs him. |

Replying to: larsb (Jan 13, 2009 12:21 pm) My point was there will be plenty of people that are willing to build cars without going on strike every time GM gets going in the right direction. Including all those that are now illegal aliens. Obama, Hillary and McCain all supported amnesty. I don't think it is a good idea to give those that have broken our laws a free pass to get out of jail free. However I do believe most of those 12 million illegals could build as good or better cars for GM without the huge legacy, wage costs & crippling work rules. http://www.snopes.com/politics/immigration/parkland.asp

Replying to: 62vetteefp (Jan 13, 2009 3:42 am) Thanks for setting the record straight on the warranty work and ability of GM deals to work on all brands. The Cadillac story sounds like another of the GM stories that don't sound quite right but are used to diminish GM's product over and over.

"Not to help you out by responding since I doubt we will ever hear from you again but I do feel sorry for Honda for introducing their Insight this year. Hybrid sales are tanking due to gas under $2 and their price AND our economy allows few the luxury of paying more to be "green" 62vetteefp. I am just wondering. Did you also feel sorry for Honda and Toyota when they introduced their hybrids earlier this decade when fuel was dirt cheap? I know GM did feel sorry for them and laughed at the same time. This is exactly the short-sighted type of thinking that GM people are suffering from. When fuel prices went up. Toyota had the Prius. GM had nothing comparable. When prices of fuel will go up again in 2 years or so, Toyota and Honda will have their hybrids which will have been selling for a time long enough to be profitable. Will the Volt be profitable? With this type of shortsightness, let's just hope GM doesn't declare bankruptcy by then.
