		<description>if the govt is going to waste money, give some to tesla.  

THEY ACTUALLY HAVE A PRODUCT THEY ARE SHIPPING.   

The contradictions constantly on this website have convinced me the so called &quot;volt&quot; is more of a Public Relations stunt.   Unfortunatly, most people didnt beleive in it enough to invest money into GM STOCK</description>

		<description>Anyone who ever turned Detroit pig iron into a &quot;hot rod&quot; knows that the &quot;Big three&quot; made garbage cars for years.  At least back before the Seventies some of then had looks.

The safety issues they ignored until they were made to comply with standards were cheap and simple, but GM, ford, and Chrysler ignored the safety of their customers 

The gas mileage of cars in the 40&#039;s was far better than the gas milage of the same make cars in the  the early Seventies. 

Better cars like Packard, Tucker, and Kaiser were allowed to fail and die, in favor of GM where they were attempting to corner the market. 

The Government turned a blind eye while GM and HArvey Firestone attempted to dismantle the mass transit systems they saw as a threat to their businessses

Give the 25 Billion to communities around the country&#039;s largest cities and demand they build mass transit systems.

Give people a choice (the benefit of living in a &quot;free&quot; country?) and I&#039;ll just bet the people around Los Angeles would rather take a high-speen train to work, rather then sit in a traffic jam for three hours (Ditto Westchester Fairfield, and Rockland County residents.)</description>

		<description>Imagine if Wagoner had been able to say: &quot;I drove here myself from Detroit in a Chevy Cobalt XFE.  I got [around 40?] miles per gallon.  I believe in our product and I use our product.&quot;  How would the senators have reacted?  How would the rank-and-file at the Cobalt plant have reacted? 

But no, he had to take the company jet and offer to *halve* his multi-million-dollar salary.  Sad.

It&#039;s so much like having a family member with a substance-abuse problem who asks you for twenty-five hundred so he can get clean &quot;This time for real!  I swear!&quot;  Your heart says one thing; your head has doubts.</description>

Is there some deeper meaning to the “Detroit 2.8″ besides one isn’t whole. Where does this come from?
—
The 2.8 represents 20% of Chrysler LLC being owned by Daimler AG.
It’s stupid and nobody else actually refers to them as that. Just call them the Big 3.
--------------------------------
I guess that is a shot at me, I can handle it though. I love calling them the &#039;big 2.8&#039;...I do it as often and as much as I can, heeh. 

I refuse to stop!  
I couldn&#039;t stop it even if I tried...it is in my blood...it is too fabulous to not say.</description>
