Ford are gonna use the money for R&D...something GM has been cutting back on seeing as they had no money..GM/Chryslers loans were there to bail their butt out of poor management of their company.

In contrast, Ford Australia confirmed they are already making money again.

Slightly off subject..
I know a guy in Chicago who owned a Pontiac dealership.. Two years ago he was offered $6m+ for his business from G.M... His business is worth NOTHING now.. Hardly able to keep his house... Things are VERY VERY tough over there...

Bloke was an achiever, just looking at the list of vehicle he influenced at BMW, Ford, Chrysler. You have to give him big brownie points for his work.

We asked him if the engine had actually been called “Seagull” and how that came about. “Actually it was just call “Gull”, because I named it that. Because we knew it was going to poo on everything”. |

Does this link, provided by PhillyC before
http://www.carpoint.com.au/news/2010...-for-now-17922 Indicate that Falcon Ute will cease in 2012. Its big call to say they are planning to wipe out out 12000 of its 55000 annual production (especially if the territory and falcon sales dont pick up by then) |

Oh my God that's funny. They really are trying to fix this problem from all angles, and I think a shrink is exactly what they needed.

I wonder how much goodwill is actually left in the company. As per following link
http://www.gm.com/corporate/investor_information/sec/ If you look at the assets and liabilities section of the 8K report (9th april), you notice the assets of GM are worth 136 billion (inlcuding 30.6 billion in goodwill, and 14.5 in intangibles), and 107 billion in liabilities. You have to wonder how a company who just went into bankruptcy, is running on government handouts, and has just run a 4 billion loss for 6 months, could possibly say that they have 46 billion in goodwill and intangibles. Take these out, and you have a company with net liabilities of 17 billion dollars. Who in their right mind would buy shares in loss making company, with 17 billion in net liabilties. |

I hereby declare that a strand of my hair contains 3 million dollars in goodwill.
