My house is now worth $50,000-$100,000 less than I paid for it. $300,000 originally. So that means I’m in the hole from what I owe anywhere from $5,000 to $55,000.

I have to make it work, GM needs to make it work. This is a really bad situation. I think they will have to declare bankruptcy. Look at all the airlines that have had to do it, and they continue to survive.

They are re-structured so they can. GM needs to do the same.

# Replacement for 350Z…
What about a Pontiac G8 GXP? Perhaps it’s too roomy for you?
Maybe too much HP?
I know it’s not a two seater but it’s just the thing when two or three ladies want to go home with you

I drive a 97 Crown Victoria and my wife a 07 Ford Five Hundred. I used to own a 06 GMC Denali – one fine, fine truck. Mama made me sell because of the gas . In the past I’ve owned Honda’s, Mitsubishi and Subaru’s. I’d have the say, overall, the one I have enjoyed the most was the Denali. Second would be the Crown Victoria.

These are not sexy cars (not the Denali) but they meet our function and price point perfectly. They’re inexpensive to operate and both have 5 star safety ratings for front and rear passengers. I’m trying to replace the Crown Vic with a Fusion Hybrid. We’ll see about availability.

I spoken to several Honda/Toyota owners about US based manufactures. They have convinced themselves that these cars are not worth their time. Personally, I’m constantly disappointed with Toyota’s. For me, they’re too small, too cheap feeling, and the ride isn’t very good.

I USED TO THINK THE UNITED STATES WAS WORTH SAVING. But I gave up after the Republican monkey boy was elected to a second term I new then that the country was lost. So POSSUMS please visit the website financial sense and scroll down to the article AS GENERAL MOTORS GOES SO GOES THE NATION. You will be shocked at the similarities between the plight of GM and the United States, I can only hope that some of you who are joyfull at the demise of GM read this post and the article to get a look at what is going to happen to this country in the next year or two, and to you Republicans most of whom are to stupid to realize what you have done maybe that little light bulb will come on inside your head one more time, ENJOY THE RIDE ITS GONNA BE STEEP AND FAST.

They could have crushed the Prius in 2004 with the Astra, dominated the Europe market in 2005 with their Opel below, et.c, etc.

Nah, let’s just wait 5 years, float some vaporware and go poof! GM just completely ran away from their constantly blown chances at the peanut butter and chocolate diesel/hybrid combinations.

What’s next to die, GM Vauxhall?
