Intrepidation

I think we need a thread for this...

GM prepping Saab to stand alone It seems that GM's plan to rid itself of Saab is being put into motion. GM plans to grant Saab control over its finances and decisions. The idea is to make it looks more appealing to potential buyers, and more than just a bunch of Opels in Swedish attire.

Probably while the paddle was spinning to stir the ingredients.

1.) More unnamed sources, look how accurate those have beens o far. 2.) So what? Chrysler would have access to small car platforms and powertrains, allowing it to quickly develop a competitive small car or cars, for far less than doing it on its own.

I could really go for a warm loaf right now.

Low funds may keep Converj from seeing production GM's low reserves of cash could hurt the prospects of the Converj concept being green lighted for production. Bob Lutz explains, "Ready to go? Well, first we have to prove to ourselves that we have the money... and then that it's a high enough priority to displace something else, and that we can actually make money on the vehicle, and that there is potential customer interest and so forth. We haven't done any of that work yet." It only seems logical to build it, as it would help offset cost of the Volt and it could be sold at a profit.

That's what yo momma said.

Hmm, a showstopping vehicle that could not only help offset the costs of the Volt but actually make a profit and they are still debating whether or not to build it?

$h!'s done f@#ked up.

General Motors' increasingly empty coffers could consign the Cadillac Converj show car to 'concept only' status. The Detroit Auto Show coupe has been the subject of production rumors since before it rolled onto the stage in Cobo earlier last week, but now Automotive News is reporting that GM may not have enough money to make Converj a reality. AN quotes GM vice chairman Bob Lutz as saying that the Converj is far from a done deal: Our take? The angularly gorgeous Cadillac was designed around the same extended-range Voltec architecture as Chevrolet's forthcoming Volt, itself a spectacularly expensive research and development effort. GM is clearly committed to making the Volt a production reality, and if it ever has hopes of making money on its plug-in hybrid technology, a higher-priced, higher-margin product like from an upper-crust brand like Cadillac would seem like one of the best ways to defray R&D costs. In short, GM may still have to conduct due diligence on the Converj's business case, but if there's any money at all left in the company's bank accounts, we still think the future for the showstopper is a bright one. Given the 2011 date attached to the Volt, we would expect the Caddy to roll into showrooms for 2012. Let's just hope it arrives in showrooms wearing a new name. Source: Autoblog

I'll let you know who after the Superbowl.

The more I see it the more I like it. Especially the Hybrid model because it's a hybrid that does look like ass (although the Insight is growing on me).

My condolences.

"loose" anus.

I'm sorry man, I know it hurts missing two of the 800 most exciting parts of the race.
