Nosympathy: It happens every time when posting with the incoherent Sammy-Half/Brain.

The Cruze Diesel is imported from Europe--Sammy half brain worked at Lordstown and doesn't want anyone to know it, and of course, the Trib editor omitted it in his article.

Please feel free to commeny. We enjoy hearing from intellectuals

Only you bunch of idiots could go from a article about the Cruze Diesel and end up arguing about a British Soccer Team. Your collective stupidity is simply amazing.

MRRONG: a 30 second superbowl ad cost 3.8 million dollars...

MR.RONGEST: you still dont get it..everytime MANCHESTER UNITED appears on television they will have those Chevy Logo's on.. Since Soccer is the most popular sport in the world and MANCHESTER appears on almost every TV station around the world... every continant Asia africa and South america... The Chevy shirts will be an AD for GM..

And If the taxpayer deal hadn't gone through.. 1 1/2 million more people would have joined the unemployment line... stopped paying taxes and then UNITEDFORTRUTH mite have predicted a real Disaster..

But GM did not use taxpayer money for this DID they.. since that deal was made last july?????????

SAMMYHALF=BRAIN: Again your mostly incorrect: AON the original sponsor was paying 20 mil a year, GM upped it to paying 60 million a year, Who would have thought that??

If it was such a good deal, Why did GM fire Joel Ewanich their Global Marketing Chief one month after he made the deal.

Answers: In most of the world Chevrolet is rebadged as Daewoo's.

GM would have to increase their European,Asia sales 40% over the next 10 years just to break even on the money spent,

GM's car in Europe is the Opel

GM after realizing what a terrible mistake they made, tried to get out of the deal.

Without the taxpayer Billions-bailout they couldn't have made the deal.

Sammy, when you sober up, you may be able to figure it out.

MRRONGER: tell the truth You never get it RIGHT... it's $600,000,000 over 7 years; not a measley $20,000,000 and it's for the MANCHESTER UNITED SOCCER team the most valueable sports team in the world...

The Second lie you tell is that BAILOUT MONEY was used to do this with.. that ain't so JOE.. it was done last year so that no bailout money was used.. was it...it's called ADVERTISING... the CHEVY LOGO will be seen more around the world now than any ad's shown on superbowl sunday..

GOD's sake the dumb people at FORD bring you the Cleveland BROWNS and we KNOW what a waste that is!!!! so try to get your facts straight.. I mean if your going to tell a LIE to decieve everyone at least get it right....tell a big one...

Go Steelers..Have a nice day...

sammy half/brain: GM also gave a British soccor team $20,000,000.00 of the bailout money for sponsorship,

That 20 million dollars of taxpayer money should have been given back to the Treasury,

GWBUSH gave GM a bridge loan to make Payroll after 5 years of losses.. operating cash was gone... change BUSINESS???? how does GM,FORD and CHRYSLER change their Business??????

They had Costs foreign company's did not have.. they had thousands of retirees that only Honda is now starting to see... Thousands of dependants with health care costs..

And were the BOND HOLDERS MADE WHOLE??????? google that..

UNFAIRLY??? how does a BANKRUPTCY fairly take care of Bondholders?????

any dealer was fairly given a grade: 50% on the grade were those cards people fill out and send back to the Factory.. No. of sales.. 30% ... Financing and History were the other mitigating factors..

And what Company in ANY Bankruptcy does not trim the FAT..

Airlines give up jobs and routes that are not profitable ,Cancel leases on Planes less jobs and flights..

Steel mills close unprofitable factories Wheeling steel comes to MIND....

THANK GOD I ONLY NEED HALF A BRAIN TO OUT SMART YOU ..

nOTpc-Now do you understand why Samaree is referred to as (half-brained)

G Bush gave GM a bridge loan with a condition to change their business that came with a very low repayment plan.

The Obama bailout ripped up the contracts of bond holders and secured creditors & unfairly gave 26 billion taxpayer $$ to the UAW.

At Delphi 28,000 UAW workers were paid full pension while 41,000 other Delphi workers were Shet on,

100,000 blue collar workers lost their jobs when Team Auto eliminated GM & Chrysler dealerls

American workers were put on the chopping block by Obama's Team Auto.

MRRONG: you are full of it on todays post... Is GM the only company operating factories in china ??? How is your cell phone doing?? A new I-PHONE perhaps?? is there a difference between Ford making cars in India and sending them to China????

NOTSMART4SURE:

Did our Republican Friend MITTY BOY ROMNEY (JUDAS) close that company that was making a profit in the USA and finally send those JOBS to CHINA so he and BANE capitol could make even more of a profit?????

Really folks some of these people make no sense at all and they never have or never will...

SELL YOUR SOUL?????? you have to have a soul in order to do that.....

Allows for this to happen that's why there are different bankruptcy types.. the job of a BANKRUPTCY court is to try and help companies survive and to compete..

MRRONG> lell you keep telling big Lie's I'll keep telling the GOOGLe truth......

1.The Bond holders were offerd stock in the New Company.. were they NOT????

2. Well their COE was fired as he should have been for running the company for 5 years without a profitable quarter....

3. What should owners of GM stock have happen(guess you dont know how a stock market works) when a stock is in trouble it's price drops to nothing... as GM's Did.. or do you buy more when it drops to $5.00 ???? cause that's such a buy.....

4. Well the favorable tax that GM get's is the same as Ford, HONDA and all the other car produceing companies get.. All companies are entitled to credits for things like employee health ,Pension , some advertising benifits.. A ruling from a tax court said instead of losing these credits a reorganised company can retain these Credits... Like GE they paid no taxes they used these credits....

5. The government wants all companies to survive.. Bankruptcy

This is why I seldom comment.I read them often,however.Everything for many of you is seen through the narrow scope of pro-Obama(GM tax payer bailout)or anti-Obama(GM taxpayer bailout)You progressed to your political talking points,without stopping at real world actions.You sell your soul each day that you buy anything Made in China,you sell your soul each time you use your I-phone,Samsung or any other high tech item that is made in Communist countries.I am NOT pro Obama,but I am happy when my neighbors and family have good jobs.You complain about GM and China,only because you want to see Obamas actions fail.If you really hated the China connection in this country,you would also rant about Wal&Mart.My goodness people,this article is about a new car.The usual suspects on here have to turn it into political babble.I think it's a nice car,that's all! relax!

HORATIO, YOUR SPEAKING OF THE COMMUNIST RED CHINESE IS QUITE INTERESTING.

GM in China paid for a movie proudly and boldly in favor of the Chinese Communist party. The US Treasury bailout money given to GM was used to promote their form of government.

GM's CEO stated the future of GM is in China...sell your soul if you want to, I'm not ever selling mine.

There are a lot a modern Judas's around.

horatio-Apparently you're not aware of the Gov't forced bankruptcy of GM and how dishonest, unfair and brutal to the American stakeholders involved.

Can you tell me how the Bond holders were treated and how owned the GM Bonds. Do you know what a bond is?

Can you tell me how UAW brass was treated in comparsion to Bond holders?

Tell me What happened to owners of GM common stock.

Do you know and can you explain the favorable tax treatment the IRS gave to Gov't Motors and how unfair it is to Ford,Honda and all the other US producing and tax paying car companies.

Answer the questions and your fogginess will begin to clear.

ARTIC,if you have about four tenths of a gallon of fuel,you will make it to the station.

One thing many people are not thinking about, not all gas stations sell diesel. You may buy one of these cars, then end up having to drive further to find a place to fill up, at more per gallon than gas. It amy not effect some in the city, but in the suburbs and country, it might. There is not a station to buy diesel fuel within 15 miles of where I live.

MRRIGHT,what is your point? Henry Ford,the founder of FORD,sold parts to Adolf Hitler during WWII.I am still supportive of both companies.They provide good Ohio jobs.I feel the same way about Honda.My brother works for them as a production Supervisor(line foreman)The parent company helped in the killing of Americans during WWII.Do you ever buy anything from Wal&Mart of Target or Dollar General or K-Mart or any other store?The items you purchased were made by the RED Communist Chinese.Please tell me why your statement is relevant to anything.They are paying their debt.You should wish for their continued success so they can pay in full,and provide our area with high-wage jobs.If your hate is for Obama,then hate HIM,not the company that is this areas economic heart beat.
