But in addition to that, the gov't will be subsidizing them $7,500 per car for the first 250,000 cars.
Economy sucks = people don't buy things = big three don't sell cars and were in the middle of an expensive restructuring = big three is HUGE trouble.
Why can we not blame the ecnomy? It has everything to do with their CURRENT situation.
It is supposed to be their first substantially profitable small car...ever. But I'm not sure that one single car, be it Camaro, Volt, or the Cruze can 'save' GM...or else they'd have been saved umpteen times already with their recent releases...
