Personally, I'm AGAINST Chapter 11. It would be a mistake IMO.
Unfortunately, it seems that many of todays consumers have a bias when it comes to domestic automobiles. I'm not saying some products of the past don't justify this, but alot of people aren't willing to give any American automanufacturer a chance to show how far they've come in terms of quality, etc....and I'd bet that if you askedthe majority if they would buy from an American automanufacturer that had declared bankruptcy in the past, the majority would respond "No." :(
And to "rant" a little; I AM SO SICK AND TIRED OF THE MEDIA'S NEGATIVITY TOWARDS THE BIG 3 RECEIVING A LOAN!
I AM DISGUSTED BY THE NUMBER OF FOREIGN MAKES I SEE ON THE ROAD!
I AM SICK OF THESE "KNOW IT ALLS" WHO ARE SO QUICK TO CRITICIZE THE AUTO EXECS., AND WANT THEM TO FAIL!
Do any of these "geniuses" realize how they contribute to all of this?! ie; buying foreign, allowing American automanufacturers to fail = worsened economy, constant "bashing" of American cars, manufacturers, etc.???
Congress needs to give the US Auto industry the loan, the "Car Czar" is ridiculous, (look at how Congress appointed an oversight cmte. for banking, energy, and how successful that's been.
), and I'd LOVE to see the Big 3 get back on their feet and prove everyone wrong.
Oh. And as far as buying a Camaro, and it's possible "collectible value" if the Big 3 were to "go under"; trust me, you don't want to see that happen.
Buy a Camaro because you love the car. 
(whew...I'm sorry...get a little ornery over this.
)
