[Shotimes] Fwd: Re: [HillmanCars] OT - Future dim at GM

[Ron Porter]

Buick ain't going away.
 
This is old news. The Detroit media carries a lot of info on the Big 3. GM has been described as a pension management company that builds cars on the side.
 
Rumors of GM being acquired by someone like Toyota have been around for years. From a business perspective, it makes sense, but from the intangible influence of GM in the market, it won't happen.
 
Those fat UAW contracts that they have caved into over the years are biting them in the arse.

Delphi, a major supplier to GM and manufacturer of defunct Lockheed brake parts for
Hillman is in even worse shape.
Better buy front wheel cylinders and master/Clutch cylinders now, while they're still
available (from Delphi UK).
