^ if you GO THERE it'll be domestic.
But whatever GM needs to go down if they still make retarded shit like the 2009 Cobalt I rented the other day.
They don't know cars they don't deserve to ask people money for the crap they come up with.

I thought Canada approved the bailout months ago and they rejected it? Then they said they were gonna pull out of Canada... what gives?
Anyone who thinks nobody buys "crappy" domestic cars should think again... http://money.cnn.com/galleries/2009/..._losers/3.html
"It was pretty close though. Toyota sold 1,843,669 cars this year. Chevrolet came in second with 1,790,519 sales."
That's just the sales figure for Chevy, just one of the brands for GM so overall, GM must be selling a lot more than that. Seems to me they don't have a problem selling cars despite what people think about the quality, bad gas milage, etc... Now if GM can sell that many cars, where's all the money going? *cough*UAW*cough*... nixing the union will solve a big chunk of their problems..

The bottom line for GM is still down, a total net loss of $38 billion in 2007 and 3rd quarter 2008 a loss of $2.7 billion. These guys are burning through their cash reserve at the faster rate than Usain Bolt can run the 100m.

Btw Canada has approved the Auto bailout package, but apparently it wasn't "big" enough for these guys. GM and Chrysler are coming back asking for more money or we take down the whole Ontario economy with us basically what they are saying.

I drive a domestic vehicle... it's all I'll ever buy... because I'm supporting MY COUNTRY and not someone else's. That's not to say my domestic vehicle is better... but that's the choice I make.

It's a catch 22 for GM though, because they make less money on a similar priced car, they have to use cheaper parts to make up for it. Use better parts, and they price themselves out of the competition...

Or your made in USA car for that matter. Why feed those people down South to make you crappy cars when you can buy superior cars made by locals?
