    Default General Motors bankrupt

    Its OFFICIAL....

    GENERAL Motors has filed for bankruptcy at the Southern District of New York court today, in a plan for the ailing US auto giant to reemerge as a new, leaner company within 60 to 90 days.

    Hopefully the leaner, company will also be meaner, but sadly I'm thinking leaner means cost cutting and less cars which are interesting and fun to drive

    Then again if Opel can stand up on it's in own in Europe and Holden aligns with them we may see something more exciting than a re-badged Daewoo hitting our shores

    I say they won't be far behind them...

    Honestly does Holden think a release of a "economical" Astra or Commodore now will save them? Sorry, too late Holden!!

    Apparently they wont be affected, yet they will still borrow money off GM.

    Holden have announced that this will not cause any issues for them.
