Ya think?
DUH!! Everyone I know says they will never buy a GM car again. Do we know who Obama sold HUMMER to yet? What do you want to bet that it’s a Middle Eastern interest?
Watch for the gubmit to subsidize buyers of GM or Chrysler vehicles. Probably to the tune of about $20,000 per vehicle. If you want to buy a Ford, TS.
Duh!
BTW - are you leated to the transformers dog?!? ;-P (/snarky)
If Fedgov gets just a little more power over the banks, it would be simple to make the rule that the only car loan will be for a Government Motors All-Green Socially Just Auto.
That may be a stretch- maybe a non-GM car loan would go for three percentage points more.
Or, a tax write-off if you buy one.
Or some sort of tax-based subsidy, so that those who don’t buy them underwrite the cost for those who do (that’s economic justice!)
Now that Fedgov is in charge there is no end to what they can do to get people to buy them.
Gub’mint Motors automobiles — “the cars so nice, you’ll pay for them twice.”
I will never buy from Government Motors or Chrysler. I won’t know what I’m missing because I won’t even look. The government has never been able to run a business that delivers value and service.
The only questions in my mind are:
1) Will it fail fast enough to cost Ozero reelection in 2012?
2) Will Ford be able to survive the anti-competitive policies of a government owned enterprise?

My wife is looking at Ford, Honda, and Lexus right now for her next vehicle.
If anyone is interested here is a link to some charts showing total car sales in the US for 2008 and thru April of 2009. Car sales are in decline and may well be that way for a few more years.

Didn’t trust obama enough to vote for him, I’m certainly not going to buy a car off of him.
We’ll never own any of their vehicles again.
BO and his band of merry Lefties are waking up to the fact that the 60 million who voted against him are the ones with money to buy cars and will seek other brands than GM and Chrysler. That’s why in his daily propaganda appearance yesterday, he tried to sell the idea that he was so reluctant to interfere in the auto industry and that his government would try to be “hands off.” It’s too late for that approach after firing GM’s CEO, installing his own lackey, and giving away the store to his major campaign donors, the UAW.
It’s insulting to see how stupid he thinks Americans are, but then why shouldn’t the Kenyan think that, as he occupies the Oval Office.
Why does this whole mess remind me of that Johnny Cash song “One Piece at a Time”, but instead of stealing Cadillac parts, the government is stealing our industries...
