Gee, doesn't this sound just like what GM used to do?

Offer a financing program for one month and then magically at the end of the month say "it was so successful, we're going to extend it!"

With the past 2 weeks of the financial markets, I predict October car sales will be MUCH WORSE than September's. Cue automaker layoffs, or in the case of GM and Ford who are cripplied by union contracts, 'furloughs' and bankruptcy.

what should they do, quit the car business and lay off workers? Any plan is better than none.
