Again, I'm pretty stupid when it comes to how this works. I just have reservations. I do hope that whatever happens will allow GM to heal and to continue to provide us enthusiasts the cars we want to buy.
Here's the big thing that worries me: killing our own cars. If we hesitate to buy from a company majority owned by the government, they will have no incentive to cater to us. They will stop making our cars because they aren't selling rather than because they have no place in the market. If we buy, then we are keeping them alive. If we don't buy, then our favorite cars go away because we didn't invest in what we liked. This is how capitalism works, and I'm fairly certain that the current administration will enforce it. We represent the market, so we need to buy what we want. That alone should keep our favorite products alive.
