Well that really justifies our governments sinking Billions into the business
I feel the same way. I was thinking this was going to happen after they decided to get rid of Pontiac. If GM succeeds, yes the government can earn back the money but I would think it's going to take years to do so. The future can be very uncertain. They should have required plants and workers stay in America when they loaned the money in the first place. I'm at the point that I just want to see them bankrupt and have the contracts with the UAW required to much less pay. Keep most American jobs to keep American tradition. If not, oh well, they did it to themselves.

GM needs to sell to the global market to survive. Thanks to unilateral protectionism (not in our favor) they need to build the cars in foreign markets to sell them there.
Maybe the new government board of directors will finally figure out to close our borders to anything not made here, or tax it into oblivion. Only then can rebuilding start.

I'm more interested in the Challenger as a new car, but I'm definitely waiting until the 3rd or 4th model year, and even then I'll buy it used in 2015. I'm sure my '99 Toyota truck will STILL be around.
3rd or 4th model year? Wow you must be the most optimistic people in the US! LOL As soon as gas hits $4/gal it's all over for all these cars and that may be soon...
Agreed. Don't wait. Gas is going up again and Chrysler dealers are DEALING.

i second the taxing into oblivion!!!! other countries we ar edealing with are fighting the incoming porducts we offer with taxes. they favor tax incentives for homeland companies, subsidies to buy their own good and many other tactics all while accusing us of shutting the spicket off when someone from the us even begins to discuss the notion. i think closing our borders to and eliminating all preferred trade status treaties would help generate the revenues needed that we once had befor our borders opened. now south american countries ship goods through mexico to avoid taxation. china subsidizes products to export them to undermine other economies and get a foothold in the country their exported to. i think BRAZIL has it right!!!! tax the hell out of anything coming in we already make here and watch the unemployment rate plummet like a sinking ship..titanic style!!!!!!!
