when is this going to be released to the public to buy!!?
is this not what led to the scandal at enron?

why are people so happy about this!?
Does this mean its time to buy Citi stock? Is Citi here to stay with the Gov't giving it support?
some of the people on here are just way to funny. I don't see how NYT debt problems is anyway related to their article about GM. One thing has nothing to do with the other, just want to look for a scape goat for the topic at hand, which is that GM, through their ignorance, did not see ,what is happening to them now, it coming.

reality is liberal.

but GM's situation has nothing to do with being liberal or conservative, its about the business decisions they chose to make, which as you can see ended up being bad decisions.

Ford make me proud of the American Auto industry, please, because GM simply just does not get it. Look at Lutz, he offered up his job to save Wagoner, WHAT A JOKE. THEY BOTH SHOULD LEAVE!

Lutz "i dont believe in global warming" - how strange, i didnt know global warming was a religion, its either real or it isn't. and whats bad is that he doesnt see that its real.
all but one domestic. why is that?

not trying to be sarcastic, asking seriously.
"Hybrids are a marketing decision. They aren't cost efficient for the consumer and they don't steer away from the use of oil (unlike flex fuels)."

first generation bio-fuels depend heavily on oil, so that statement is false. its something like, it takes 2 gallons of oil to make a gallon of E85.

and then dc11 continues on by saying hybrids dont hold their value. Um, in what country is that?

using celebs to campaign the prius, now thats a marketings strategy. the car itself not so much. The car is innovation, advancement in technology.

W/E, whenever a new car architecture is developed it is always very costly at first. however, with the introduction of new cars using the same architecture costs can be distributed among them, reducing individual costs.

Why do you think GM is now delaying developing new architectures for their SUVs? because they dont believe they will have the models to spread the costs around and recuperate their investment.

I am all for buying an American car. I am upset at how GM, Chrysler, and Ford have run their company. Ford seems to be making the right moves now though.

Rick Wagoner, PLEASE LEAVE!
"GM board member George Fisher is quoted in the story saying, 'We were late on hybrids. Why were we late? We made a business decision as opposed to a marketing decision. That's probably a mistake, in retrospect.'"

This thinking that an investment in hybrids is a marketing decision as opposed to a business decision is exactly why they failed.
better question, what is AutoBlog's stance on the Bailout? I am personally against it. Only because i feel like the heads of GM and Chrysler, and their boards, have let their company come to where it is now. Wagoner needs to GOOOOO. Ford seems like they are on the right track. I feel like GM will just say whatever is necessary to get the money and pull them through, and then once everything is "back to normal" they will just back to their ways, building huge, excess cars and not really innovate, unlike their world counterparts. I really do want to buy an American car, but none of the cars they have excite me. I'm sticking to my 02 Audi A4 3.0 quattro.
i dont understand, it looks EXACTLY the same
2011.... why not now?
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"What's the best gaming laptop for under 1,500 bucks? I had my eye on the P7805u (Gateway), but it seems Best Buy has run out for the time being. Also, as a secondary question, I like the specs on brands such as iBUYPOWER and CyberPower and the like, but are they reliable? I'm a little worried about buying labels that aren't huge like Dell, Gateway, etc. Thanks!"
