GM asks Europe for up to 4.6 billion handout.
 

I really want to continue supporting GM, but this is making it real hard. YOu would think after all the public backlash they got here that they wouldn't have the balls to do this abroad.

Well now we know their plan to pay back our government.

.................:laughabove:



But seriously. I'm at a loss at this point. I was against a bailout of roreign makers even though they build cars and employ people here. At the same line, Europ should tell us to get bent.

Thats how I feel. I love my domestic cars as much as I love my foreign ones but if this continues I will just keep buying new foreign cars that don't need to rely on government money to proceed. Looks, like I may be adding another porchse to the collection instead of the vette.

NOOOOOOO

Get the Vette. We need to pay ourselves back.

Foriegn auto makers are subsidized by their countries. Imagine the big 3 with no health care costs.

I'm confused...what with the Opel decision earlier this month, and now this.....something's going on.

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.

I'm not happy with this, but I imagine that GM Europe's brands deserve the help. If Nissan asked North America for help without having any North America-specific brand, I would encourage rejecting that action. GM, on the other hand, has brands over there that are completely independent and unique from those in the US and Canada. If those brands are in trouble, it does make sense to ask their hosts for help.

It is never good to have to ask for help.

It's like paying your Visa bill with your MasterCard. :facepalm:

forget that Equinox i was thinking about buying. Screw GM. Just when i was respecting them again they go and do this bullshit.

No Equinox for us. Forrester here we come!

Are you serious right now?

with the new labor contracts beginning the next few years i think the union pays for benefits and not GM ford etc..........

so yeah.....imagine indeed

I was until i read the article more..........its GM europe and not the US.

EQUINOX here we come!!

you can delete my prior post. lol

What I say to those countries" PAY UP SUCKERS"
