When I see foreign cars I see ugly. I also see them sucking the life out of America with the help of our own people.

Good ridence to saab. saab is synonymous with ugly. Overrated just like most other European cars. Don't know why GM would want to be associated with them in the first place. Just another bad business desicion I guess. Hope GM gets through this.

If General Motors sold Hughes Electronics Corp. they wouldn't need any bailout money for a few years.

I'm not sure of the exact numbers, but you get the idea.GM employees:1978: 250,000 union 46,000 salary 1988: 200,000 union 45,000 salary1998: 130,000 union 45,000 salary2008: 76,000 union 40,000 salaryAfter this year, I predict there will be more salary GM employees than there will be emplyees actually building their vehicles.

Once again, this demonstrates that it's not the UAW that is ruining GM, it's the idiots at the top. This has been going on for a decade now. Why is Rick Wagoner still CEO? Nothing he has done has proven effective. All the buyouts, job cuts, VEBA, etc have not produced any positive results. Why does the Board of Directors allow this to continue? He's had his chance to turn things around. He's done a marvelous job of projecting the blame onto the UAW. If only he was as successful at running a multi-billion dollar company. I say, if GM files for bankruptcy protection, then any "restructuring" should start at the top beginning with Wagoner, and should include those Board members who have elected to retain him.

GM is full of itself thinking we the taxpayers owe them something. Look at their losses and then tell me they are a company that can be saved. Sweden is right, it's up to them to save themselves. At least Sweden has intelligent people running their govt.

Pure shame what GM has done to Saab. Anyone that has ever owned one (I once owned a 9000 Turbo) can tell you that it was easily one of the best cars in the world (especially for the money when compared to other European cars). I once thought like alot of people out there, that the cars they made were ugly but once I drove one I realized that looks aren't everything. The best looking things GM ever made never drove like a Saab or came with such standard luxary or safety (that is, until GM bought them and started to ruin the cars).
