Even the Dealers backing GM Linkity Dealer: Time to Get Costs in Line Posted by Tim Hanrahan John Stoll reports. A strike of limited duration would help trim bloated inventories at the largest U.S. auto maker, but a lengthy work stoppage could crimp supply of key vehicles and would take a financial toll on GM. John Bergstrom, a Wisconsin dealer with 15 GM stores, said in an interview: "We have a good inventory of cars and trucks and, whether we did or not, we would feel very strongly about it being time we got our costs in line with our Asian competitors." Bergstrom, a GM dealer for 30 years, said that "the UAW team has to understand all of us are in this together, it's not just them." He said the dealer body has had "a series of meetings over the last year" and the dealers are in support of "GM doing what it has to do to get this worked out."

That is the most ridiculous vote fetching statement ever heard from this incompetent candidate. No offense, but he has no sense of how the economy works.

Onions are the biggest aphrodasiacs. Eat 1/4 onion a day and prolong your time to ejaculation. An Indian friend of mine told me that beatel nuts they chew are good to good to have in the mouth while having sex, again prolongs climax. But sometimes we need mouth for something else too. My boss says that kids are $ 0.5 million money pit each till they graduate from undergraduate school. Amen Bro.

Neither do I want to dabble into getting political. In aspects of $$ value war was a good thing. $$ would have been in toilet 4 years ago if Bush would not have had war in Iraq. Saddam wanted to make Euro as Iraq's main currency thus dumping $$ which meant US loosing a lot of revenue. Bush indirectly did a good thing, but did not have the balls to tell us one of the real reasons.

Mr. Drew, forget your CTS-D if you do that.

Yeah the same Unions in the coal mines which caused strikes because ONE of their leaders had to watch the football game between WVU and Marshalls. In the modern world of technology and emergence of knowledge workers, unions are all but vanishing group of species. If you want to talk about who gets how much paid, why not ask those actors and sports stars who get paid a lot more for err nothing. Uneasy lies the head that wears the crown. It is harsh, but the real truth of life is, that it is not who use their brawn, but ones who use their brains get paid more. No we would be headed for dark ages if the unions persist. The unions rared their ugly heads in the Non Profit Organization Bank created by the recent Noble Prize winner Dr. Yunus. And they were even ready to stop work for the people who were affected by floods because their leaders thought they were being paid less and wanted stock in the bank, WOW! It is not written off in black and white. As much as we like to think it is easy for GM to kick unions and as much as we would like to, GM has to think about those people. Stock holders are number one priority of an organization, as they are the owners, but GM cannot dump people overnight. Yeah for certain, UAW lost the war in long term, and with it possibility of unionizing foreign car manufacturers. I think so too. It is not a straight math (correct me if I am wrong, ZL-1). Actually with the $51B fund, the liabilities will be lot less, as PV of the future funds is also taken into account while computing the liability, further, free cash flow and other assets like stocks and bonds GM holds of other corporations can also be used on the liabilities side of the income statement. Unless we get the proper breakdown of liabilities, it is not straight to calculate the pre and post VEBA liabilities GM will actually see.

Honestly in the long run, it is not a bad thing. Short term, we will take a hit, but the exports will be pumped. $ is over valued today than it was 5 years ago. And mark this, that is one of the reasons why Bush went in Iraq, not oil, not WMD.

+1. I do not like the front license plates. So do KY, TN, NC, SC, WV, AL, AK. There are quite a few states that do not require front license plates. It is the west coast states that need them I think.

I am sad to say, but it seems like apart from Camaro and Corvette, Chevy may seem to have a ho hum future, unless the RWD Impy packs some punch.

It is the pile of the piles from Toy.

I think by the end of this year (probably before the NAIS to create some buzz) shall we see the camo prototypes. I wished Chevy had a small wheel based RWD sedan as can be seen on the mule with a LS3 and a 6-speed manual. That would pound some ass.

I see a MB A/B classe in rear 3/4. The Interior is horrendous. I hope they have a more integral looking center stack.

Yeah 3450lb, in UK specs. If it was based on the previous 3-series platform, it should not have weighed more than 3300lb. Yeah. But then I will not be driving the Albatross around the race track either.

Well I hope they do not make it look like "Bread and Butter" Z06 with "subtle" enhancements. When did Chris start working for Halapeno? Those words don't seem like will come from Chris' mouth.

Turdalacious

Look here in Amazon. No need to go shopping

It is the Chasis which is incompetent, not the engine.

May be :twocents: / truck. That is still making money.

KIA SPECTRA 5, LOL
