Gm reports

Bad news in earnings today for GM. Will Ford also report abysmal numbers? I hope not, for GM LOST $30.9B for the year. LOST $9.6B in the last quarter alone. They "burned" through $5.2B during that quarter. And that's on top of the LOSS of $2.54B in the 3rd quarter with a "burn" rate of a massive $6.9B. How long can one of Ford's major competitors stay in business with such horrific results? A bailout you say? I don't think any financial assistance will appease numbers like these.

No surprise there. The only thing they have on the road that I would own is a Corvette.

They should build a better quality of vehicle and maybe they could sell something.

Even the 2010 Camaro is crap. It is the worst retro looking car of the three.
The Mustang and Challenger are works of art. The Camaro is as ugly as the hideous front end on the new GM 2500 HD trucks. Those huge chrome corner bumpers look like doodoo.

Wendy (my other half) has driven Suburbans for years with little on no problems other normal items. I drove a K5 Blazer years ago and loved it. I may have looked at the Chevy pickups but to small (regular cab) and not well thought out for the user. That's why I am in a Ford, not too much on this truck I can B#$%* about. Chris

You're so correct regarding the Camaro? A top-heavy box is all it is. They bragg about the HP but so what? You need that much juice to move a barge. The 2010 Mustang looks great and for $32K one can have one "helluva" cool machine.
