The world is a lot different since 1973. I agree GM has some decent trucks in the market. Maybe the government will nationize the company as state owned, so it wouldn't be swallowed up by foreign auto companies and disintegrated. GM still owns the pride of American people.

Bob, this is NUTS, IMHO, even as the Fed is working HARD on
disintegration of our manufacturing biz. We got to bring
them back and stop financing China. There is NO way the
current "globalization" scheme is economically viable. We
need someone smart pronto, and I think a recovery in that
area is on the way, slowly but surely. American cars are
extremely underrated. GM and F trade like they are a hair
from being broke. 9B, 14B market cap... compare to Nissan at
36B and Toyota on the moon. I don't believe US auto makers
will all go broke.

How do you see the transition to non-petroleum fuel affect companies like Winnebago and other big truck makers? Will they be able to be as nimble as what you are thinking for GM and F. Seems to me most if not all of them are praying for a fast miracle (ie. cellulistic fuels).
