I don't quite understand why you're throwing this around here. The people on this site are here because they want a Camaro. I drive a Dodge truck and a Ford Fusion and I'm looking forward to a Camaro. That doesn't mean I don't appreciate foreign cars- I used to own them. I said to myself many years ago that when domestic automakers could match foreign quality- I'd buy domestic. So now I buy domestic.
I don't want GM to fail. However I don't want to give GM money unless serious strings are attached to correct those things that make them unprofitable. I know, you'll say we're not giving GM money, we're making them a loan. As I've posted elsewhere, I think you're delusional if you think that. The history of government loans to companies to prevent bankruptcy is that the government can never call the loan due because the company will just file bankruptcy at that time. So if you want me to both buy a GM AND make them a donation at tax time, I want to make sure they're going to use that money wisely and not just band-aid a sinking ship.
