No Equinox for us. Forrester here we come!

If you keep buying foreign we will have no industry and no middle class. I've never been more happy with our decision to order an equinox last week, it's a great car. I'm just as excited as when I ordered the Camaro, well maybe not but I'm still excited.

Yeah its really hard. I want to get a Z06 but everyone I look at I just think why not just get the ZR-1 but then the ZR-1 just seems like a Z06 with just more horsepower to me. Then it's like ok I already have a M6 do I really need another 100,000 car. So now I spliting hairs between a new Z06 or getting a great deal on a 911 Turbo, which I could get cheaper then a Z06.

It's all going to hell, meanwhile the wife is telling me I don't need anymore cars because we don't have room for them, so now I'm looking at buying a piece of property near my house to bulid a 7 car gargage. It's just annoying.

Anyways I may just still get the vette.

And for the record, GM Europe is sufficiently separate from GM NA...this money will never see US soil (if given), and given the small amount of money, and large amount of nations that would pitch in...it's relatively meager request...my .02, anyways.

This is so true, but we all know the general public won't understand that and will just have more ammo against GM to fire with.

I know, but sometimes logic and truth are not funny. Besides GM just announced that is would start paying our government back like a week ago so at first glance it looks funny. What really upsets me is what they did to Saab. QC went to hell when GM bought it and I noticed that in upstate NY Saab's went from being on every corner to a rare find.

If you are opposed to government funding of automakers, don't run to Porsche.

well that pretty much was the way of life until recently. and knowing that GM is (or should I say has been) sometimes a little slow catching up with reality... who knows what they're up to.
