It can't really be compared to the Chrysler situation of the past when they paid the Gov loans back because they aren't selling even close to the cars now that they were back then during the problem and the debt is WAY more.

Then you throw the 'Green' factor on top of everything else, you tell me how GM will get away from Gov control. They will either comply or be no more. It'll be like 'Coctos world' in Demolition Man with Snipes and Stallone. Very bad mess it is.

It already is Government Motors. When the President of the U.S. can dismiss the "CEO" on a whim, yes, it is a nationalized company. And don't give me that whole "Obama just suggested he step aside" crap. That's like saying he left to spend more time with his family. Its nothing but a euphemism. Mark my word, this is the end of interesting cars from GM for a long time, if not for good until the government fails GM into the ground. Except for the Camaro, I can't see myself buying a GM product until the government gets out and lets them continue building good, interesting, relevant cars.

Talk about cutting your nose off?

Design, engineering, manufacture and price all completed before June 1 2009.

What point are you making? Could be a Picasso BUT your going to protest until "they " leave?

I am going to hold out hope as long as I can. IF the gov't guts the fun and excitement out of GM (which I doubt, although some WILL try), then I will sadly look elsewhere for my car entertainment, mostly likely the classics. Until then, I advise everyone, don't panic, the Camaro and Vette are still being produced and a lot of good product does seem to still be set to come out.

This whole situation is still being worked out. GM may just come out of this alright.
