trust me looks has nothing to do with it. Scion Xbs, and Xas are ugly, they sold a ton of them. Prius is ugly, nissan versa is ugly, they still sell. Looks is the least of their worries. But damn, those things are ugly lol ---

Fuck GM and fuck Chrysler. They did this to themselves. Let them deal with it themselves without government involvement. What I dont understand is how a company lets itself get billions of dollars in debt. If you owned a business that was even losing thousands wouldnt you close up shop? I know I would. ---

I also agree this should have happened a long time ago. They should not have had a bailout and the government should not even be involved with this. Now the fed has a 62% share in GM. The largest industrial corporation EVER to file Chapter 11. ---

I just feel terrible for the people who have lost their incomes. Its a sad story. Even worse the seniors who have retired from there, now won’t be recieving any pension checks. There the ones who really lose out in all of this. At least younger people that are able to work can get another job. I don’t know what people, who don’t have that ability are going to do? ---

I dont think the performance cars hurt the manufacturers. Theyre limited production models and not something dealers are sitting on a ton of. Theyre not really one of the mistakes being made. Theres actually waiting lists for most high performance models and dealers are marking them up $30k over sticker and still selling them. ---

72.5 % stake on GM is the gov’t, 17.5% UAW, and 10% bondholders. if GM fails to recoup it will fall back on tax payers… i cant wait to repay the bailout loans GM got… idiots. ---
