Yes, the Chinese would buy the brand and eventually sell off/phase out the working assets and manufacture OS...

Unlike the G8 it appears that Mr Reuss is "Too good to waste".

Can someone please explain why the ex-MD of Holden (of only 12 months) as the vice-president of global vehicle engineering is a boost for Holden?
That is like say if the premier of NSW becomes the prime minister of Australia it would be a boost to NSW.. |

How many times in the past few months have we heard this, it's on, it's off, it's back on again...........G8 failed in the US, just like the Monaro and the Capri back in the 80's. I would have thought the poor sales would have been enough to can it.
Is this fact or if this just the media, this tax stuff as well, I dont what Joe public are going to say about this and all the concessions GM may be getting. I also wonder about the mums and dads who lost out and how they feel. I wonder if the feeling is Govenment Motors are getting a free ride, while the mums and dads got screwed over big time. It like the little boy who cried wolf...................................

Didn't Hyundai offer something along the same lines. If you could not meet repayments, you could hand your car back. I wonder how much that did for Hyundai and getting extra sales? Maybe Texas f-150 would enlighten us. How is consumer confidence in GM at the moment? Is the company back selling huge amounts of cars and heading towards becoming a force again? Or are people still very cautious in buying something from the GM range after all that has happened, and is rebuilding the company going to be a monster task? I know Ohio XB is taking a break from the forums. It would be good to get a feel on how sales are going and again consumer confidence. I get the impression that Ford are doing better than expected, but I would like know what the feel for GM and if anything has changed? Cheers Mark
