Comments on: Lutz: GM Deserving of Government Loans http://gm-volt.com/2008/08/31/lutz-gm-deserving-of-government-loans/ Real-time news, information, and discussion about the Chevrolet Volt.

Their presumption is if the public stops buying or leasing New gas only cars, the auto industry will have no other choice than to abandon that production and concentrate on the production of EV’s and Fuel cell cars. -------------------------------------- I couldn't agree more with this kind of approach. We citizens have more power in this whole process than we appeciate --- our power is called "we refuse to buy".. GM has plenty of engineers being squandered on plenty of gas-car projects. By not purchasing any more gas powered vehicles, they will have no choice but to consolidate all of their engineers into accelerating the release of the Volt --- either that or go bankrupt.

They've set the stage for 14.00/hr wages; promised innovative products ;cut help; outsourced and gone foreign- America has caved in to their terms. If they can't make it , would pouring cash fix the leadership and corporate culture that got it to this point? Or would a bailout throw vast amounts of cash at the high end to be devoured and split up for the "Leadership" as a parting gift from the Bush Administration? P.S. - I've tried to buy a new truck. Between a pricing structure that introduces more and more incentives and delivers a similar price each time and dealer networks operating on 1960's sales principles and ethics, It just isn't happening folks. If I went broke because of my own stupidity, who would bail me out? GM must dig its own way out.

He is out of the game now. Second some people think they have all the answers, and often find in time that they were wrong. The people in this country don't want and won' turn down their thermostats like you loosers want tol. This country is as great as it ever was, yah their are some problems and they are serious. So anyone that don't want to do the things that will bring about change to the positive and would rather go to Ron Pauls demonstration I say go. Have a blast, let the rest of us get things working in a direction that is good, maby theire is a better way but it isn't here and fucntional now. I am so sad that there are so many whiners wasteing good time. Lets go in a direction that will help some of the thing needed and keep our eyes open to see what else becomes possible. Or you could just go to Wisconsin and get some cheese to go with it. First of all, Ron Paul is a looser, get over it. He is out of the game now.
