Yes, and probably the G8, will stay too.

GM is asking for 18B? Seems like too big of a slice to me since they account for ~40% of domestic sales. The other surprising thing is the NEED $4B this month.

Me too. Talk about cutting it close.

How much control is the government really going to have on what choices we have on what vehicles we can buy. This is very scary... Not to mention all the people this plan effects. So many jobs and families will be effected, it's not even funny.

How did Detroit get here?

It IS scary.

As far as how they got there, IMHO, they did not learn the lessons taught in 1973. The big 3 let gas-guzzling trucks and suv's dominate the US market. They were high-profit, they took the quick and easy money. Now it's biting all 3 of them you-know-where. Plus the whole industry has collapsed, due to mortgage crisis, recession, etc. -argh.

The PT Cruiser was a Plymouth and a Chrysler at the same time. I think that's a good idea. The Volt is key.

I'll bet that was before the end of the truck and suv era.
