Well, yeah... they have to do that. It's mandatory.

I think they're counting on most people plugging in their cars uring off-peak hours... at night.

Did they throw away the blueprints? They should just bring the thing back if for no other reason than to shut up the media and treehuggers. It's not like the EV1 would be obsolete... no one else has built one.

You really think he'll say anything? Of course he won't....

I love those people... Now's a great time to buy their full size SUV that they're dumping out of panic.

Buick 6000SUX. They could even throw in a Blaupunkt!

One thing about the SRX, boy is it a screamin' deal used. Low miles, V8, Magneride, Ultraview, everything for under $30K. Astounding car for that price... if I were in the market for a utility vehicle there's no doubt that would be the one.

Please Bob... DO NOT integrate the stereo. Those whose actually want a good sound system do not want to be stuck with inferior Toyota (and others) integrated garbage. Simply make the colors match. Leave choice to those who desire it. The piano black console is an excellent suggestion... it ties the Aura and Sky model lines together. IMO, the stock wheels are fine, but offer wheel and tire upgrades on all versions. Again, give customers a choice.... there is no easier way to improve handling performance than a simple tire swap. Last... 6-speed automatics across the board.

Is she aware the GMC-Buick-Pontiac have been combined into a single sales channel? Apparently not.... There's no point whatsoever in getting rid of them as they will effectively become one brand with focused nameplates instead of multiple full lines.

And union leaders don't do the same? Don't be so naive.Unions have been incredibly corrupt, not to mention linked often to organized crime. And their leaders will sell out the membership in a heatbeat if it suits their purposes. Bottom line is Delphi is losing billions. Miller is doing his job.

That is exactly why Delphi hired him... to save the company, not bow to pressure from corrupt unions or weakling GM management.

GM's largest supplier's costs are greatly reduced and the UAW is out.It also sends a very strong message for 2007.

I not only think that GM is not only not a doormat in all this, but a very willing partner in wishing Delphi to throw the union out. The talk about wanting an agreement... lip service, since they can't play similar hardball with the unions for another year and a half.

A whole lot of people that live near Delphi plants will be thinking the same. Like I said, the line'll be a mile long...

I don't see what bad about it except from the UAW perspective... for them it's a disaster because when they strike they will all be fired. Production will continue with a combination of salary and replacement workers. All Delphi has to do was build a little ahead. Maybe this means the stupid "you will give us an X percent reduction or else" type of deal? Good for them. That GM will not subsidize their pay is a shock? Delphi builds parts for Toyota and others - should GM pay Delphi workers to build parts for Toyota? I think not... that whole proposal was a non-starter.

All you have to do is look at how Caterpillar handled this to see how this is going to go down. As soon as the unions walk, the white collars will be sent to the floor. Ads will be placed... jobs $12 to $21 an hour depending on skill level. The line of applicants will stretch for a mile. Replacements are quickly hired and there is little disruption in production. The now former Delphi union workers sit outside with their picket signs for 2 years wondering what happened. Eventually many of them cross. This strike will be devastating only for the unions... not for Delphi or GM.
