Would you buy a car from GM (G)overnment (M)oters?

No GMs or Chryslers will be sitting in my driveway. I wonder how the gov't is going to deal with a situation where nobody buys a GM or Chrysler? Do you think they will actively start trying to destroy Ford and placing mindboggling tariffs on foreign cars? I have to hand it to the 0bama administration. They put alot of thought into which industry to nationalize first, and they picked a winner. Think about it. So many other industries are dependent on the auto industry: plastics, steel, computers, glass, rubber, etc. Also, you'll continue to hear the patriotism thing: "What?, you didn't want a Chevy or a Dodge? What are you, anti-american?". Also, the gov't owns alot of the banks that would finance your new car. I wonder if it is beyond the pale to think that certain banks would provide incentives for buying a GM or Chrysler product. Or maybe Ford will have problems getting their MPG certifications. It all just stinks of collectivism.

ANYTHING the government has ever tried to run has ended in disaster. The Social Security program is in shambles. Medicare and Medicaid are broke. School systems are likened to third world classes in some areas and now 0 wants to run GM? I'll stick with my husband's X-Terra and my Maxima. At least I know if I have a problem, Nissan is still around to help. If 0 took over and my car broke, I'd wind up paying way too much money for something I already knew (the car was broken) and nothing would be fixed.

Mr. Redyellowblack dog I would not have any desire to drive a Yugo so I must say I will pass on driving a Government Motors tissue box on wheels. I do not think it is such a great idea to let failures of companies to keep on living just because of political whims. These two companies at hand made their beds now let them sleep in their bed with the government. Leave myself out of that love triangle.

If I were still driving, not only would I not buy GM... I would never buy a union made vehicle at all if given the choice. As it is, I take great care to avoid buying union products whenever possible.

I'll probably never get another car again, much less a Government Motors car. I can't even begin to tell you how upsetting this crap with them is. Those of us who cried "NO BAIL OUTS!" were ignored. Then we cried "NO MORE BAIL OUTS!" only to be ignored again. Now here we are owning 70 some percent of the company with the President being the CEO and we find ourselves going bankrupt anyway, with even less say in what happens to it... Now the president is on television telling us we need to invest more money and what kind of shareholders we are supposed to be....

I dont know much about the political side of it but I do know that Chrysler and GM are not doing well my next vehicle is going to have to be either a Ford or a Harley Davidson
