I also saw in the new commercial advertising this program that GM will now guarantee trade-in value if you choose to trade in your car sometime in the future.

This is probably the best thing that GM could have done to entice people to buy cars.
It sounds more like they will simply guarantee that you will not be "upside-down" when you trade in. So it will probably only apply to GMAC loans that had a minimum percentage down payment. Maybe it will work out, who knows? I'd like the idea of trading in two years from now and getting a HUD convertible in ralleye green. Or maybe a direct injection LS3 with a 3.73 rear end.
