I found out the other day that Phillip Morris (the smokes company) owns one of the lines that GM makes engines on they lease it to GM and have contract till 2012 or so.

I was pretty surprized by this when I found out.

gotta eliminate the sense of entitlement ("I deserve a paycheck just for showing up") for that to happen.

And even buying a foreign car, there is a good chance it was assembled in America, even if its parts are foreign. American cars have a good number of parts that are made foreign and shipped here.

I still can't believe they cut Pontiac and are keeping Buick

Same old GM management... finally get something turned around and competitive, then dump it. The BK judges should have started by taking everyone making over $250k and putting them out on the street with a swift kick in the ass.
