14. Are the number's you're quoting
From prior years, when stuff was actually selling, or from current sales figures, like just last week, my brother bought a bare bones truck that listed at 20k for 12,100 OTD after all the incentives, cash back, loyalty crap, etc.

Sounds like some great marketing and sales ideas that we need to support, huh?


Oh, and if sales are so brisk, then the coffers should be quite flush with cash, right?

If GM is selling cars left and right, then there should be no fear of losing jobs-those jobs will be there forever, why would a company do away with a job when that job produces a product that's in such high demand?

Face it, sales suck, profits are in the toilet, and GM needs to do some serious revamping and restructuring of their business philosophy. Jobs are going to cease to exist, redundancies will be eliminated, and product lines will be voided.

You can get all the bailout money in the world, but until there are real changes in how the company is run, nothing will get better. Kinda like a drug addict-without treatment, the problem continues.
