From the beginning GM has not wanted to file chapter 11. If they are forced into it by the government, GM feels that no one will buy cars from a bankrupt automaker, thus thrusting them into Chapter 7 liquidation and the end of GM. Even if they go into Chpt 11, the products they are coming out with will get them thru the re-org. and Chpt. 7 will not even be a worry.

Yes still driving Number 3. 9,000 miles on the odo. Running like a champ. I have been giving others a chance to drive it overnight and they have all been very excited about the car. Swapped it for a Vette Monday and Tuesday. So all is well.

Should actually have it until June.

More CTF cars starting to show up at the Tech Center now so expect more SE Michigan sightings.

Stop fearmongering.

You'll get your Camaro. Be patient.

Just won't be good for their rating.

I'm on the lookout! My dad used to have an office at the Tech Center so I'd get tours of the design studios often. Now he just works on the 37th floor in the RenCen (booooring)

if federal officials do not come to an agreement to change thier position regarding payment, they have the option to force bankruptcy upon the automakers.

it says this wld be a condition of more bail out aid.
how wld aid help them if they are bankrupt?

if this were to happen what will happen to us?



maybe the GT500 isnt looking so bad...

time for all you guys to start converting over to Ford!!!
