Then as some folks pointed out, buyers would then maybe buy a few more "addons" or MORE buyers would simple buy MORE cars = MORE MARGIN OR REVENUES MEANS LESS TAXPAYER MONEY TO BAIL OUT BIG WIGS THAT RAN THEIR COMPANY INTO THE GROUND BUT STILL GET THEIR MILLIONS IN BONUSES >>>>>>> a win win for today's consumers and whatever is left of today's GM.
BIG COMPANIES GET SLOW, STUPID AND LOSE SITE OF THEIR CUSTOMERS AND WHAT THEY WANT. AND ALSO WHAT GOT THEM BIG IN THE FIRST PLACE....LISTENING AND CARING ABOUTWHO BUYS FROM THEM. LOOK AT ALL OUR BIG BUSINESSES- THE BIG WIGS GET FURTHER FROM THE CUSTOMER EVERY TIME THEY EXPAND....

oooooooooooooookay.........
Now --
I have a question:
Have you read about the current state of affairs in this country?
Have you looked at what's going on in the financial community?
GMAC and Chrysler financial cannot raise the funds they need to finance everyone that wants to get financing.......
Go do the math on a $30,000 loan over 5 years -- what the carrying costs are --
I understand your frustration --
And your statement:
QUOTE: LESS TAXPAYER MONEY TO BAIL OUT BIG WIGS THAT RAN THEIR COMPANY INTO THE GROUND BUT STILL GET THEIR MILLIONS IN BONUSES UNQUOTE......
GM is not getting free money from the Government - it is a loan that will be repaid with a substantial amount of interest. (not zero percent!) That is UNLIKE the aid that was given to foreign manufacturers in the State of Alabama by Sen. Richard Shelby....that does not require a payback......
Further, no one at GM is getting 'bonuses' -- and in fact, no one has for a few years. What IS true is that as people are let go, they are getting next to nothing...no matter how long they worked for the company -....I have watched thousands as they are let go - they worked hard and they got caught in the cross-fire. I know of more than one person who, like me, spent weekends with our enthusiasts -- and lived/ate/breathed GM........it's horrible!
