Angry I hate when editors write articles like this.

GM: Better off bankrupt
The automaker is in trouble, but even Chapter 11 would be better than hooking up with Chrysler.

This guy's a fool.
What he proposes is like sticking your hand down the garbage disposal (because it's "too dirty to clean"), and hoping it comes out the other end okay...

Idiot.

EDIT(1): GM DOES have the vehicles to compete in today's market...but I'll bet this moron hasn't set foot in a Chevy/Cadillac/Saturn/Pontiac dealership in over a decade.

EDIT(2): GM offers a 5-year transferable warranty. Where'd this guy get '3' from? See what I said about missing out the past decade?

This article is FAIL.

Well guys, I'm sorry, but I think this guy might be right. GM might actually end up declaring bankruptcy, but, like he said in the video Ford and chrysler would be likely to follow. And I doubt the Camaro is going to save GM.

And this explains why GM's stock is going back up relatively quick...? This guy is a douche!

I just ignore Alex Taylor now. His agenda has been clear for quite some time and his objectivity is shot.

Don't even listen to that tool. I've sent him a lot of very nasty emails about his articles. He really doesn't know anything about the automotive industry and just enjoys bashing GM in his articles. He once wrote something about the Volt, saying that it would do nothing to save GM and that a prius was a better buy, criticizing the Volt's low acceleration when the prius's 0-60 time was even slower.
Like I always say, just because you've been to one or two autoshows and read a bunch of Wikipedia articles doesn't make you an expert on the auto industry. In fact, I'm about 90% sure he's being paid off in some way by toyota to write this crap.

No, the Camaro will not save GM. However, it IS a step forward. The real saviors of GM will be the 2011 Chevy Cruze and 2010 Chevy Volt.
