  1. Long term no marketing strategy will work if the competition can produce a comparable product at significantly less cost.
  2. The whole GM empire can be had for only ~15 billion and still nobody wants anything to do with it.
  3. Why is everybody assuming that Ford would follow GM into bankruptcy. Financially they are in better position, they have no brands to get rid off, most of the UAW concessions GM would get if it went into bankruptcy Ford would probably get too. And, what's in it for Ford family since they are large shareholders also?
  4. Walmart is doing pretty good in Japan , as well as many other US companies. It's not impossible, you just have to try hard enough.
  5. I know what you are saying, but give me 12 billion and I will prove that everything GM owns can be purchased for 12 billion.
  6. If 51% allows me to do whatever I want than I own it. Nobody could stop me from selling GMAC, European operations any US brand etc. After each sale I could give it back to the shareholders in the form of one time dividend, that would be 51% for me from each sale. Once you have controling interest there are so many ways to get the money out of the company.
  7. All you have to do is buy 51% of the GM shares and you own all of the stuff you mentioned, including worldwide operations.
  8. My bad. It's about 12 billion now. http://money.cnn.com/quote/quote.html?shownav=true&symb=GM
  9. My guess is Kerkorian also. If GM stock goes down to $15 I can see him making a big move.
  10. lol, Toyota and GM merging. Toyota is worth over 100 billion, GM is worth 13 billion. Toyota will make about 10 billion this year while GM will probably lose about 5 billion. Toyota can buy GM outright with their 05 profit alone. There is no way anything will happen in between those two but if did happen it sure wouldn't be "merging".
  11. Why would Kirk allow GM to file a bankruptcy?
  12. Ford has only three true American brands, all other brands are sold all over the world.
  13. When will the Fusion switch to the new A6 designed by Ford/GM?
  14. I would take it with a V6 engine. Why not, it still gets better milage than my 200 hp Escape.
  15. This is another example of why GM can't compete. Instead of offering rebates Honda will just cut production while thanks to UAW and job banks GM is forced to produce vehicles and sell them for no profit. You can't compete like that.
  16. Next gen. Escape will be on that platform also.
  17. If GE would do that their stock would go from $33 to $15 over night.
  18. BTW, is the laptop mount standard?:D
  19. Because there will be no new Envoy?
  20. Wallstreet would do "the punishment" part. :blink:
  21. Who should the company care about? The only purpose of any company is to make money for it's shareholders(owners).
  22. If Toyota can make cars in the US and make a profit on them that GM should be able to to the same. If they can't then it's their own(and their workers) fault and they should be making something else. This is free economy, nobody has god given right to survive.
  23. I'll be there. Are they going to show Cadillac BRX this year?
