That's pretty messed up. GM and the Gov't make a perfect team of hypocrites. Not EVERYONE can get away with driving a small POS car every day. Some of us NEED trucks. If GM is so gun hoe for this stupid azz plan they why the hell don't they and the gov't team up and actually make a Diesel truck that actually gets some decent MPG? Shoot every year with emissions getting worse it seems the Dmax goes down and down in fuel economy. Put a chip in on even older model D-max's and you get more power AND better MPG? What am I missing here? Not to mention now you have to add some super special clear BS liquid that costs a pretty penny just to even drive your new Dmax, which = more $$$ out of your pocket. So much emissions regs that you have worse MPG by a huge margin compared to what is possible on the same engine. So you have to burn THAT MUCH MORE fuel and $$$ to get you places. Doesn't burning more fuel kind of negate the increased emissions standards that lead to worse MPG on these trucks? Sometimes a facepalm doesn't do enough to prove my point here...

"The Treasury, which rescued GM with a $49.5 billion bailout and once held a 61 percent majority stake, "will likely look at another (stock) sale in August, after second-quarter earnings are announced, Akerson said.
The Obama administration has made clear it is eager to exit GM — but hasn't laid out a precise timetable.
Asked if GM is considering buying back its stock, Akerson paused for eight seconds before declining to answer directly. "But we have a lot of cash," he added.
At the current stock price, U.S. taxpayers would be out more than $12 billion on GM's bailout. Still, Akerson believes that, in the end, taxpayers will see the government made the right call in saving the automaker, as well as crosstown rival Chrysler."


What a joke!!

GM has become a poorly operated company producing mostly products people do not want, and the desireable products which they continue to build is of mediocre quality at best.

That's GOVERNMENT Motors for you! Of course GM's CEO is gonna ask for this--He's the puppet with Obama's fist up his butt...

And Ford Motor Company didn't ask for a handout...hmmmm!

There are many university projects that are funded by both GM and the Govt. Though, you would have to have a consumer that cares enough about MPG to make it work in the first place. I don't think that is there yet.

no, I don't think it does.
