That sounds like they might move their HQ out of the US. What a kick in the balls to the American Taxpayer.

I HIGHLY doubt that. Especially after Obama spoke out on outsourcing as tax/money havens. Besides The US would not let them leave the country after we own so much of it anyway.

Oh I doubt it too, just saying if it happened. It's probably not a bad business move though. They are much more profitable overseas.

This is a little far fetched. I don't think after all the money that was dumped into them over the last year, that they would just leave.
.......Beside....... She won't let you leave, she has so much to show you. |

THe unions are really just mind blowing. They are so stuck in a 1920's labor mindset. Importing vehicles will help GM stay afloat and keep the money coming in. But Heaven Forbid you cut just one darn job here. When do they realize that their union, that they love so much cannot exist without GM, Ford and Chrysler. They would be nothing. They are like a leprosy that slowly devours the bodies of the company until there is nothing left. And they want to keep being fed.
I think it was said best, that GM has been reduced to a healthcare and retirement provider that sells cars to make ends meet. |

Wait what? GM bought a $625,000,000.00 building last year?!? They were doing poorly then and they thought that was a good investment. Generally, headquarters like these are just for show and reputation and do nothing to help the core business.
Pretty lame, but I hope they survive. I needs me a CTS-v and a Vette. |

I can see why there's some debate, the problem with GM is definitely Detroit, not GM itself...
