Was listening to some newsradio today - many analysts are painting a bleak picture. Heard that Hummer and Saab were going to be let go, maybe more. I've already seen where Chevy is not sponsoring several NASCAR races next year.

Rick Wagoner is supposed to deliver an announcement tomorrow morning at 0830 EST. Should be worth listening to.

I'm not worried about GM. If they can't adapt, then it's time for them to die. But I suspect that they will adapt and find success again.

If the US Government helps GM out, I will be pissed if there isn't a ~3200 pound, 350+ horsepower Z28 by 2010. If my tax dollars help that company out, then they should be providing me with products that I want.
