Supposedly someone from GM even said as much that they dont ever expect to make money on it. No one is going to buy it at $40 grand when about all it can do is go to the super market and back. Don't shoot me, I am just paraphrasing what "the article" said. Just doesn't sound like that one car is going to "save" GM.

I will say, however, that GM has to save GM. Ever heard of Job Banks? GM is going to have to get rid of the ridiculous way's they pay their workers. Don't blame the economy for any of the big 3's trouble's. That is like blaming the economy for all of Wall Street's problems. Everyone wants to blame someone else. No one has the guts to admit they were wrong and made some really bad decisions. It's starting to be the American way, and that is the really sad part of it all.
