And Start stop Hybrids only add $500 to $600 to dollars to the Build cost. $475 on the low side estimate.

Safe to say The Governor would'nt be there if it were'nt a positive. Or pseudo postive announcement.

That makes no sense.

Free Men don't "HAVE" to do anything.

EEk! Those parts would be reliable for sure.

Yeah. it appears it will go nuclear. No more Delphi, No more GM

The question I think Should be what will Buick/Pontiac's Flagship be. From what we've been reading. Buick/ Pontiac one showroom, no overlap. That's GM's goal right? Pontiac gets to live on in that manner? Enclave and Lucerne for now?

The 100 billion in Assets Belongs to the Employees. GM won't have access to it. GM owes about 31 Billion more to that fund. IF 50 % of GMAC is sold the Government (PBGC) could sieze the proceeds to make up part of the difference.

I would say SSR,GTO,and XLR did very little for GM

And Steve Miller shooting from the lip is why there is Growing union militantcy. Miller seriously damaged Getelfingers(Sp?) ability to make deals. If The S.O.S come to power the entire U.S. auto industry will rue the day Delphi Hired Steve Miller. Back on topic. (But off of Thread Guidlines) It would be a Huge Pubilicty coupe. If Toyota were to Build the Next Gen Avalon (" The Best Buick Money can buy"?) On the Former Buick City site.(Twisting the knife as well?)It would have some very kurosawa like tones to the move. Toyotas stepping stone into the midwest. Camry like sales are out there to be had in that size segment. I can picture Michael Moore documenting Toyotas rescue of Flint.

It's a very well written article.

TRU-FLEX GM's version of Flexible manufacturing.(The Next step beyond C-Flex) Would allow a Flat Rock like Plant. (Mazda 6 FWD/ Mustang RWD) In theory I think you could have one plant, one line, 3 shifts, and an entirely different vehicle on each shift. Could go Theta,Zeta,Epsilon, on one line I think. Delta Township is supposed to be the first Tru-Flex plant I think. I would Guesse Springhill,and Oshawa would be next.

Anybody interested in the Big picture. Should read both those articles.

The other article. "The Tragedy of GM" http://money.cnn.com/magazines/fortune/for...69111/index.htm

The PBGC believes GM's pension fund is 31 billion dollars short of its obligations. Twice what GM has in the " Kitty". So in Effect GM has no Kitty.
