Another possibility is for a "good" GM and a "bad" GM to be sepparated in court, and anything loosing money be heaped into the "bad" GM and liquidated. Good GM survives and moves onward without the debt dragging it down.

This could also help them get rid of some really awfull dealers (not all, but some definitely need to go) without the threat of a lawsuit - and also enabling GM to bypass state franchise laws.

50th Ed.? like 50th anniversary? doesn't your car have to be in production for a full 50 years for that to make sense?

let's do some math...

1967 - 2002 = 35 years

2010 - 2017 = 7 years (your supposed 50th ed. is really 7th)

35 + 7 = 42

42 - 50 = 8

how is a 50th anniversary edition possible if a car has not been in production for 50 years?



Anniversary:
1: the annual recurrence of a date marking a notable event ; broadly : a date that follows such an event by a specified period of time measured in units other than years <the 6-month anniversary of the accident>
2: the celebration of an anniversary

1. The annually recurring date of a past event, especially one of historical, national, or personal importance:
anniversary
Noun
pl -ries
1. the date on which an event, such as a wedding, occurred in some previous year


–adjective 4. returning or recurring each year; annual.
5. pertaining to an anniversary: an anniversary gift. Abbreviation: anniv.

They announced today the possibility of granting a 30 day extension. It's more than likely to be approved. Stock has risen even more today.

This isn't the car that will save GM. It's a great car and should sell well but GM needs alot more than this Camaro.

Uh, his point was that GM will be around to make a 50th ann. Camaro. Read his post he said 2017 Z28.

That wasn't his point, and is rather off-topic...please bring it to another thread, or drop it.....
