Not enough 2013 threads so I started my own.

If the world survives or makes it to 2013.....Chevy will be there too!

The best car company your tax dollars can buy!

Just said today that GM is about to take over the number 1 spot in the world again for production, outpacing 2nd place Volkswagen and 3rd Toyota. Big fall for Toyota in the past 2 year.

I would say yes...

I read an article today where Chevy is primed to take over the #1 spot again.... I think they will be just fine.

Sure, why wouldn't they be?

FYI, all gov. $$ paid back with interest.

Probably one of the healthiest car companies in the world now. BTW - Japan, Inc. has bailed out several of their auto companies, several times. In my opinion it's the only thing that the Obama administration has done right. It's important to note that the government restructured them, they are not subsidizing them.

Like talking to a Dead Horse.

Also, the Bush administration started the bailout prior to the Obama administration taking office! His administration provided additional money to keep the restructuring moving forward!

OK lets not get this thread pushed to over PRC!

Back when the bailout talk was starting and there were all the bankruptcies, I wondering... what are they going to do with the Corvette?! (That was before I owned one).

I am totally confident that the company would be fine in 2013 if the world did not end.... which I am not too sure wont happen!

I mean... c'mon... its the dead of winter and I'm outside in Indianapolis with shorts, tshirt, and winter lager in hand... doesn't taste right in this weather.

Sort of............

Both administrations theory of shoring up and restructuring was reasonable, yet both administrations application of these theories has sucked.

And while GM has paid back the loan, that is not all the money they got. http://reason.com/archives/2010/04/2...ailout-payback


Bottom line, as long as they continue have enough resources to buy politicians on both sides they will be fine.

Creative bookkeeping at it's best, with the gov't cookin' the books.

Do you understand that the earthquake and tsunami knocked Japanese manufacturing on their rear ends? GM will be number one for a year or two only.

Chevy and GM will survive.

KenHorse

Wrong, no it has not. In fact, 20 something billion was never paid back.

But.....this topic belongs elsewhere if we're going to got into further depth over it

Part of this is the stock sold at a loss, but then we did keep those union jobs in America on this saving of GM
