I have mixed feelings here- While I hate to see the feds telling GM how to run their business, GM hasn't been doing a very good job lately- How much of that is their own fault is debatable- a lot is because the whole country's economy is in the tank right now- high unemployment, inability to get loans to buy new cars, people way in debt because of high energy costs from last year's $4 a gallon gas- lots of blame to be spread around-
You might argue that GM should have seen some of this coming, maybe tightened the corporate belt a little, gotten ready for a tough time- so, in that sense, maybe a little is Mr. Wagoner's fault- being at the helm means that ultimately, it was his call, his responsibility-
I think if the feds could fix the bank problems, most of these other things, like unemployment and the car companies would sort themselves out pretty quickly-2001 Z28 A4 - 160 deg t-stat, 3.42 gears, WS6 sway bars, rear springs and shocks, UMI SFC's, Torque Arm and STB, leather Firebird seats, Borla, SLP Y-pipe and lid, ZO6 cam and springs - 332 RWHP and 346 RWTQ, not bad for 'almost stock' - work in progress

Looks like GM will drop all brands in favor of the Obamamobile. It is a bicycle with an umbrella, a seat that is just the shaft, and Hillary Clinton replica as a hood ornament. Any bids?
On a side note, I notice the House is expected to vote on a pay increase. Great to know they have our best interests in mind. When all the rest of us have taken pay cuts to keep our jobs, these blokes vote themselves a raise.1997 Pontiac Grand Am, 216k+ miles and still moving fast
