Replying to: Mr_Shiftright (Apr 23, 2009 4:32 pm) Remember originally the government said they had till April 30 to get the additional bailout money, not declare bankruptcy. So, something must have happened along the way. Also, the governement has asked GM and Chrsyler to prepare to file for bankruptcy, not actually file.

In the end, its about those of us who are still interested in the cars, and those poeple that depend on that industry. Capitalism without failure, is religion without sin. |

GM, surviving with $15.4 billion in U.S. government loans, had planned to keep Pontiac along with mainstream brands Buick, GMC, Chevrolet and Cadillac. Saturn, Hummer and Saab are up for sale. Reports that GM is contemplating killing Pontiac surfaced today in Australia, where GM builds the Pontiac G8 sedan. ...

In the end, we won't know what happens until it happens. You're no fun! I bet you like to go to nursery schools before Christmas and tell the kids, there is no such thing as Santa Claus. |
