Oracle of Delphi

Ahhhh, the Trans Am a true Pontiac! On a side note longtooth, is the 2nd shift working at the Wilmington Plant this week? I need to speak to a supervisor there and no one answers the phone on the plant floor.

How do you feel about the current Wall Street Welfare taking place, with Fanny, Freddy, AIG, Bank of America, etc. Will it affect the 25 billion the big 3 are seeking from the Federal Government? If the big 3 go belly up, will the Federal Government come to their rescue or let the big three wither on the vine and die? Should the Federal Government let the big 3 die, if so, why not let the banks and insurance companies die too? What's the difference between the American auto industry and Wall Street? What are your thoughts?

GM Daewoo produces diesel engines under GM Powertrain Europe. See link below. Link: http://media.gm.com/eur/chevrolet/en/compa...list/index.html

Oh no, I work for him willingly. No need to be hypnotized!

I can't be hypnotized!

From what I see internally, it looks like Mission Over to me!

I heard on the news last night that the Federal Reserve injected another 37 billion yesterday.

No they are not, they don't work on diesel, only GM Powertrain Europe does. However after rereading the article, they do give credit to GME. So my apologies.

They make sense, just not to you yet. Saturn/Saab has Opel. Buick has China, Chevy is a world brand and needs no help. Cadillac, worldwide luxury brand. GMC has Chevy. Pontiac was going to be paired up with Holden, but in this economic/gasoline/green climate that idea is dead, so Pontiac and Holden are in freefall. Pontiac is an American brand only, that's bad, and Holden is losing a huge portion of their staff either through transfers or being laid off, and Holden's projects are being moved to other GM centers. Is the writing on the wall for Pontiac and Holden? That remains to be seen, but it's not looking good.

Personally, I'm sick of the Clinton's and the Bush's. I need a change in President, and McCain is not it

I loved this! :rotflmao: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BrSSSfYE2dQ

It will start @ 40K.

Now why would you want to fire me? As a loyal German GME soldier, I can honestly say, "I was only following orders!". :AH-HA_wink:

It's now my wallpaper!!!

What are you trying to say about GM executives? Not all of us have a size 60" waist. I love the interior, however I like the show car exterior more. Yes I know it was as aerodynamic as a Mac Truck, but it had a way cooler image, and isn't that why 50% of the people buy cars, for the image? In any event if/when I get back to the US, I may even buy one for Mrs. PCS.

I don't think I ever used the term "Redneck", being brought up in Texas, I find that term offensive.

GM Vice Chairman Bob Lutz kisses a Saturn Astra for the brand's national photo contest. The sporty Belgium-built compact has won praises. Saturn was touted as a "different kind of car company" when General Motors Corp. debuted the brand 18 years ago with a slavish devotion to customer service, a single-minded focus on compact cars and no-haggle pricing. The fuel-efficient, pocketbook friendly cars, featuring a dent-resistant body, caught on with the public and car snobs alike. Popular Mechanics awarded Saturn a design and engineering award for manufacturing high-quality new vehicles. But then Saturn and its Spring Hill, Tenn., country style morphed into a different version of itself. Its signature compact cars, highlighted by the breakthrough of the 1991 Saturn SL1, went stale because the company failed to introduce new models. Saturn also was hurt by GM cost-cutting and its late launch into the profitable SUV market. "They never got back to the vehicle that really made Saturn tick," said auto analyst Erich Merkle of Crowe Horwath. But a reinvention is under way. Saturn's sporty Belgium-built Astra compact has won praise. The Vue has turned out to be a solid performer for customers looking for affordable crossovers, and the 2008 Saturn Outlook was rated one of the best new family vehicles. Saturn was rated the most improved brand in customer satisfaction in a recent University of Michigan survey. Saturn has seen mixed results since being launched as an independent subsidiary of GM. It was designed as the automaker's counterpunch to Japanese compact car companies and came with a revolutionary labor agreement with the United Auto Workers. Saturn introduced now-standard approaches to customer satisfaction -- from no-haggle pricing to staging "family reunions" for buyers in Tennessee to salespeople snapping Polaroids of new buyers posing next to vehicles topped with red ribbons. "After they did that twice, I said, 'Don't do that a third time, I get the message, you're all caring people,' " said five-time Saturn owner David Hyde, an automotive historian at Wayne State University. Yet some say Saturn was hindered by a limited product lineup that featured no new products from the S-series wagon's inception for the 1993 model year until the L-series sedan and wagon were introduced in 1999. Since then, Saturn has regained some momentum, though its sales mirror GM's overall sales slump. "They're in the middle of a transformation. They're probably going to survive," Hyde said. "They're one of the brighter spots in General Motors' overall picture." Robert Snell Link: http://www.detroitnews.com/apps/pbcs.dll/a...UTO01/809160325

Happy Birthday to the whole GM Family. Here's to the technology that will carry us through to the next 100 years.

In these Inter GM family disputes, GME will always back Cadillac and vice versa. Pontiac can offer nothing GME wants or needs.

No not all of us, I eat very few carbs, so McDonald's and all other fast food is off my list. I like my normal size European ass, thank you very much. :AH-HA_wink:

Someday I'm going to buy a Jeep Wrangler for myself too. I'm just hoping Chrysler sells off Jeep and GM buys it. :AH-HA_wink:

Cadillac has an issue with Pontiac getting one, which by the way is the reason the Holden Sportwagon was nixed for Pontiac. Cadillac didn't want the competition with the CTS wagon, both being RWD.

What a shame.
