GM stopped production of the Fiero years ago and not longer makes Pontiac. GM today is comprised of Chevrolet, Buick, Cadillac and GMC

And still haven't learned anything.

Government should have let them sink, except for the 68,000 union votes it brings in.

It wouldn't. But I am betting GM has learned NOTHING and will keep making the cheapest product possible to please the shareholders, and not the customers.

Toyota will learn from this.

Why would I do that?

Just because they have had fewer, and less serious recalls than GM, even though they have been selling cars all over the world since before WWII?

And, GM Daewoo, Holden, Opel, Vauxhall and Wuling, Saab, Saturn and Hummer. Of course, the last three brands will be closed down or sold.

How do you thinks that would that have prevented Toyotas massive safety recall? LOL

Actually when you ever catch up you will discover SAAB and Hummer have been sold, but that has nothing to do with Toyotas massive recall and the government order to stop selling the cars involved.

You might want to tell GM about the sales:

GM still owns Saab, although a deal to sell it is close.

And it still lists Hummer as one of its brands.

You are wrong again. The only brands owned by GM are Chevrolet, Buick, Cadillac and GMC. Their former brands and their former manufacturing facilities are "owned" by the bankruptcy court.

You are such a comedian. I never heard of a bankruptcy court owning anything.

Technically, Saab, Saturn and Hummer are owned by Motors Liquidation Co., the old GM.

The new GM also owns all or part of GM Daewoo, Holden, Opel, Vauxhall, AC Delco, GMAC, OnStar, Shanghai GM and Wuling. So GM owns more than just Chevy, GMC, Caddy and Buick.

Then why mention GM, when Toyota has the problem? Are you trying to make Toyota look good?

formatting link

Duh and who controls all of that liquidation, dummy, not GM. Try again, the subject is brands. One only owns something if one has controlling interest. I wish the stock I own in FMC made me an owner. As a General Motors stock holder, I wish what you believe were true.

There is a huge difference between controlling a liquidation and owning something.

The bankruptcy court doesn't have controlling interest. Or any interest. Rather, it is the creditors of FMC.

If you want, I can send you a crying towel.

Actually Holden has been wholly australian owned for close to 30 years. Still associated with General motors, but not part of GM World operations.

Actually, the name of the company is GM Holden Ltd.
