GM and the American automaker have been through worse and come out strong. I think GM will be just fine. A few bumps and bruises but hey, GM is like Rocky Balboa. It always wins in the end.

I've got my fingers crossed for everyone at GM, I just hope this'll be a very short patch of rough water. We've got to get more people to "Buy American" we have to turn this around. And when I say buy American, I don't mean buy the imports that are built here in the US, I mean buy American period.

If GM folded, I'd be legitimately traumatized. No kidding. I'm not sure I'd ever "get over it."

Most of us here on this board are passionate about our American cars. It's nice to read so many posts that are favorable to GM and even the other 2. However, us wishing GM well and hoping for the best will do very little to help GM and others. We need to be more vocal about our cars and the improvements GM and others have made in recent years. I can't imagine anyone saying that GM has not made a tremendous leap in styling and quality the last few years. We need to tell all of our friends, family, and neghbors who have foreign cars about our American cars and our passion for buying American. Take opportunties to show off your car to these people. Let them get a chance to ride in your new Cadillac or Solstice or Malibu or whatever it may be. Don't let one of these people in your life buy a Toyota or such without at least making an impression on them. I believe if you can just open their eyes to the improvements they've made, there will be a much better chance for them to at least consider American. If more people consider, more people will buy.
Long live GM and the BIG 3. |

We need to be vocal supporters and evangelists, to coin a phrase, about the products we love. Get people on board! Every time someone asks me about my "in trnk" license plate - I rave about the new 'Maro -- talk up the Vette, try anything to promote excitement and enthusiasm about GM products. We all need to help, as much as practical. I got several co-workers so jazzed about the 'Maro, 2-3 of them looked it up and one said he's probably gonna buy one!

Well Scott. You and every member of GM's family are in my prayers. Especially those veterans that were forced to hang their hats. Congratulations on picking up Cadillac. I hope as well as many others here that you continue to give us Camaro updates when you can as they have been very helpful. God Bless. -Eddie

Congrats Scott. Good luck with the pick up at Cadillac. I know you'll make all of us proud. We still want to see standing next to the Camaro at the Auto Shows. Even though now you are now in Cadillac, You'll always be the True FBODFATHER. Good Luck
