Not to mention it makes me proud to buy a car that was made and engineered here in America.

So true. Like I have said before I hate that GM was in a situation that they needed the governments help, but I also grew up in a town that was supported by a GM plant and know the impact they have. No one in my family worked there (My dad actually operates a BMW shop), but that plant is very important to the ENTIRE area. The thought of allowing GM to implode would have been devastating to many Americans...not just the current employees.
And if anyone thinks that the government is calling the day-to-day shots at GM...You are the one falling prey to the propoganda! If you think the current CEO is working with the current administration then you really don't know much about him.
