No, he is more likely talking about the trailblazer, tahoe etc... He is not talking about the corvette nor the camaro.

This was nerve-racking to watch....they threw really hard questions at them. For good reason, of course. But some questions were more intelligent that others...
BIG negative? Nardelli doesn't look like he has a clue what he gotten himself into. BIG positive? Wagoner, Mulally, and Gettlefinger (sp?) Held there own. Especially Alan Mullaly (CEO: Ford); he did amazing. but wtf was with the little guy in the bowtie on the end?? Little rat! |

Never seen anything like that before, and I'll bet we won't again. I saw you posted re the 80% wouldn't consider a bankrupt car...Rick Wagonner quoted that, and for a moment I thought he was gonna kick Sen. Bob Corker, R-Tenn's butt. |

And I wished he would have!! Some of them senators were pissing me off. They just all sounded so condescending...Anyways, Wagoner's voice got all loud and tense as he was talking about the implications of a Chapter 11 filing...and he's a big guy -- I bet he could kick everybody's ass in that room....too bad..... I agree...that was history in the making...Cspan.org should have a video archived on their site, if anybody wants to watch...it was 3 hours long, though -- so set aside some time, or watch it in pieces. |

When you command a company that loses 95% of its market price you should have to do alot more than answer tough questions for 3 hours.
