    You know GM has a pretty serious market share in Australia, right?

    Global companies do that.

    GM is a global corporation. Investments will be made worldwide. BTW, there's been plenty of recent investment in GM's operation state-side.

    From a 2 second Google search...Not that it will help lead the sheep in the right direction...

    As of February 2012 General Motors has only paid back Uncle Sam $26-billion of the $49.5-billion in bailout money they received.
    They also ac ulated $13-billion in stock losses and reported record profits of $7.6-billion in 2011. This means that for every $1 of profit, the U.S. government paid $4. Taxpayers also spent another $27-billion to buy General Motors stock and currently own about 30% of the company in stock. 47,500 blue-collar workers will be receiving profit sharing checks of up to $7,000.

    The issue is spending billions of dollars of the USA taxpayer’s money in foreign countries while we the tax payers are on the hook for it all…GM takes no risk whatsoever…

    Q-If Government Motors is doing so well why wont they payback their bail out?
    A- Because the sheep believe everything government tells them to believe….

    All the auto bailout numbers are chump change compared to the many $100Bs taxpayers dumped on the financial sector, but you never here whiners here, nor Fox, going on about those $100Bs.

    You seem to think that there are two piles of money to spend and GM is dipping exclusively into the taxpayer pile of money. This simplistic rendering (certainly not a deductive logic chain) is flawed from conception.

    $4 gas is gonna kick GM's ass...These gas es always kill sales in trucks and SUV's and that's where GM gets the bulk of their profit in the US. They are already offering big incentives and 0% financing for 72 months.

    Now I feel as though I am arguing with Mr. Spock...

    All us folks (who don’t believe what Government tells us to believe) are saying is that Government Motors should payback their bailout before they go spending billions of tax payers money in foreign countries…Its like taking a loan from your parents for a down payment on a house and then going out & purchasing a new car before you settled your debt….

    just got back from looking at a gmc 4x4 duramax 6.6 diesel turbo, i think.

    does that sound familiar?

    I'm currently looking for a new truck (surprisingly, specifically looking at chevys since IMHO they still have the best gas engines/transmissions and warranties) and there are over 1000 currently in stock at the dealers just in San Antonio.

    That duramax/allison is a nice combination but I just can't justify it. Diesel is stupid expensive and I don't tow that many heavy trailers. I'm even thinking of downsizing into a crew cab 1500 4X4. If I need to pull something really heavy I have one tons at the shop I can use.

    That duramax is a of a stout truck. A buddy of mine pulls a 6 horse slant with a huge living quarters on it with one...don't know how much that bad boy weighs loaded but it's almost 40 feet long.

    If gas goes to 5 dollars a gallon come to Orange or Burbank CA…We have lots of ka-boys out here… (Not real cowboys)…Who purchase 50k trucks then add 20k in accessories…Big tires, lift kits, chrome brush guards, DVD, Sound systems…There were 100’s for sale, the owners just asking to take over payments…If I wouldn’t feel so ridiculous driving such a monstrosity to StarBucs for my morning Carmel Macchiato I would I bought one….
