This is odd because you can't get a deal from them. Even in this unsure financial climate, a local salesman said Toyota Canada wasn't offering incentives to clear the left over '08 stock... but the dealer would drop the price by $500.00. I almost laughed in his face.... I posted to rec.autos.gm about this, and a Cannuck who works at the Oshawa plant said Impala sales were actually up. I saw a slew of them on a recent road trip. Much is up in the air, and nobody has a clue what will happen. Maybe that's a good thing. --Vic If you needed a new car right now, would you buy one from a company teetering on the brink? Depends on model and price. How much off of invoice? If less than 30% of invoice on a desired model, wouldn't consider it. Also needs to be a high volume model so after market parts are easy. If they don't want to sell it for that, wait until chapter 11 becomes chapter 7 and I will get it for 1/2 price or less. And another 15% off because I will pay in full on delivery, Amex, Visa or cheque. |

Someone buys the name after the company has gone teats up? All kinds of possibilities. Might keep the name GM after reorg, or change it ala IH becoming Navistar or some such. Bottom line is there will always be a Chevy. --Vic I figure Chrysler or Ford will pick up the brand cheap. |

Perhaps they'll do as you do, pushing a shopping cart along the highways, picking up bottles and cans for the scrap value. |

Go write a jingle or whatever it is you do. |

But GM becomes non-union. Don't need them in the way of making profit and a more job secure work place for those that remain. Lots of people want a good job. CAW can be replaced. |
