What GM's troubles could mean to the buyers

[QUOTE]Unfold Imagine this. Roadsides piling up with sorry state of Chevrolets, Buicks, Pontiacs, Saturns, Hummers, Saabs, Cadillacs, and practically all GM-made vehicles. The sight extends in all US states, from Cape Kennedy to the West Coast. The same eyesore occurs in other countries like UK, Middle East, and in all parts of the world. These cars need some parts replacement but there are none available. You

Absolutely ridiculous. Never going to happen, not in a million years. Even if Delphi went down the tubes, it would be acquired by somebody, even worst case scenario, some other entity would step in to produce the parts that many people need. It's this neat thing called 'capitalism.'
One of the most retarded article exerpts I've read in a long time.

I love the hypocrisy from the majority of Americans that sling the "buy American" mantra when it comes to cars, yet do all of their daily shopping at a Wal-Mart.
Ignorance personified.

This is some scary stuff. Its one thing to buy a cheap car, but what happens when all the cheap parts and not-so-cheap become scarce. I cant imagine them letting this happen but its not impossible.

Now, I agree, another entity (Toyota, Honda, whatever), might buy the facility, keep the employees, etc, to manufacture their OWN parts, but they sure as sh!t are not going to produce parts for cars that quite simply, don't sell.
What I do see happening is that all these parts will be outsourced to China for production.
