It would be great. I know I won't be anytime soon. Living here in Michigan I can't be spending a lot on money at the moment.

Bought American because of previous connections. Got stuck with a loaded piece of misvalued shit that's nice but has no resell value whatsoever. Since I'm not eating the value on a trade in. I'm gonna ride it out and wait for the right moment.....then buy this:

Fudge the picture won't work but I'm looking at the BMW 6 series for my next ride in late 2009 - early 2010

I am waiting on the Chevy Camaro to come in after the first of the year then I am going to compare it to the Dodge Challenger and make my decision then. I like the Challenger a whole lot but I think I will get a better deal if I wait for the Camaro to come out.

You will like the Camaro. It is very very slick.

I liked the body style of the original concept (Bumble Bee from Transformers). Now from the pictures on the Chevy website it almost looks like a car a chick would more or less own.

Plan on leasing one of these for my catering business in the next month or two:

Great for advertising space, cargo room, fuel efficient and inexpensive to boot.

Furious I like the HHR. We did many many test on those and they all did very well.

Seem to be a very safe car. Get all the airbags you can. Thats not something to go cheap on.

Average GM plant worker makes $73 an hour, average Honda plant worker makes $44 an hour(and this is from their plants in the US). Don't get me started on comparing the quality between the two.

You're right-that thing is ugly as fuck. Soon to be sold to rental car agencies only like the PT Cruiser since they are the only ones who will buy them.

Maybe bankruptcy is the answer. You can't pay people like that to make an inferior product & stay in business-bailout or no bailout.

Most of my family is retired GM and that isn't exactly accurate. The plant workers don't make that much. That number is figured by dividing total labor cost by the total number of workers and then the average hours worked. And it also includes, health insurance, disability insurance, unemployment, and payments to GM pensions. So that $73 an hour is counting everything for all workers, past and present.

from both the gm and toyota website you can find "Average Labor Cost per US hourly worker".
Average hourly salary for Non-Skilled, Assembly line worker:
GM: $31.35/hour (Includes idle workers still on payroll and those on protected status)
Toyota: $27/hour (Includes year-end bonus)
