Why be surprised? I've been trying to tell you, in a number of posts now, that this is not just your everyday, run-of-the-mill, corporate- business decision.........it has gone way past that. GM has really gotten themselves into a mess....on both sides of the border. They are facing an unprecedented backlash.....from numerous sources.

Its no longer even in the mainstream media news. This is a non issue. People can protest all they want, it won't do anything.

GM is also responding to a new allegation at the Toledo, OH plant. As of now, that is not one of the plants scheduled for closing.

Even as a private corporation, this law, if extended, could prevent GM (or other auto manufacturers) from relocating jobs without city-approval.

Thanks. Not sure if s law would be ethical. Would be very restricting in bringing new business to a region

Just noticed it was an older article. From Rams recently releases it appears they are focusing on the product unlike GMs recent releases. One is growing, the other is shrinking. This is what happens when you stray from focusing on the product and instead focus on numbers.

I'm at my GM shop this morning, getting routine service on the Lacrosse....they have Wi-Fi and Internet service. Dealer management tells me (assuming they aren't BS'ing) that the decision to close the plants and/or drop the sedans is currently on hold. GM hasn't made it public, but that is what the dealership has apparently been told....for now. So...we'll see.
