Yes, the entire industry is teetering. Suppliers may go bankrupt too.



I did read that GM is closely following the Chrysler procedure, to learn from it.

Having cash on hand for suppliers, and meeting with them now, is key.


One other factor...Brampton builds 300's and Chargers alongside Challengers.

They cannot cost effectively build only Challengers, but GM CAN build only Camaros.

People who ordered Challengers have been bailing for a while now.

Why should they wait when the dealer has them on the lot.

It's about allocation.

Now, on the other hand, if I ordered a G8, I think I would be looking for something else.

Ok people! ... Let's keep the faith!
