I like the new Camaro, love the 'Vette, and would gladly have owned one of the little two-seat Caddies.

Not now. My wife has prohibited me from owning a GM or Chrysler. BMW, here I come.

I feel sorry for the non-union workers at GM. The company was killed by the UAW, Democrat NO Energy “Policy” (no to anything), liberal regulation, DNC, Dems in MI, morons in MI and USA who voted for Dems.

Non-government owned car companies had their best month in years (like Ford), but gov’t owned car companies are still on the decline.

This is good news, but the bad news is the idiots in Washington will assume that means we need to spend even more money.

We not only build cars, we give you $4500 of somebody else's money to buy them!

ANY patriotic American would avoid GM like the plague. I'd rather walk than buy Obama-Motors. All you're doing is helping the UAW t#t sucking parasites and their supporters screw the country.

Hey UAW, hows the outsourcing to Brazil working out for ya?

Chrysler is the only car company who sales didn’t go up during the Junk $4,500. giveaway , so I doubt their sales went up.

It had 12,135 views. I think BP2 explained all of this
