97. exactly the problem..
Edited on Sun Nov-16-08 06:42 PM by BREMPRO
I don't trust the management of GM to use the money wisely. They are asking for a handout with no clear plan on how they will turn viable. They've dragged their feet into fuel efficiency and make mediocre unreliable cars and trucks at the expense of their workers and consumers. They have a track record of thumbing their noses at environmental and safety concerns and seem to spend all their money on lobbying, advertising, where it should be spent making good reliable products. There should be new management and design teams, along with a clear mandate for fuel efficient vehicles (not 20mpg Escalades, but 40MPG or economical eclectic vehicles!)if they get any money from the taxpayers. They can't seem to get reliability, economy and appealing design with the current management, so the deal is, we bail you out, you hire new designers and management from successful companies like Toyota and Honda.
