Default Don't believe ALL the rumors about GM/Pontiac

I know some articles from the LA Times have been quoted here. One in particular fairly recently. Other news services also come up with stories based on what others report.

Use this as an example:

I think it'* really funny that, with all the rumors flying around, that the song they used for thier latest commercial is "Should I Stay or Should I Go" by "The Clash"

Actually, I do know some stuff......I get updates every now and then. I generally don't post them until they're confirmed, but I can tell you that there'* alot of confusion within GM on some of the latest rumors.

Bah! Some veggie, new age, tree hugging jerk probably had an editorial of how all GM cars are crap and when GM asked for the article to be rescinded they got blown off. So as retaliation GM yanks all of it'* advertising in that paper(mondo $$$).

Bill knows everything before anyone else. Lucky bastard.

However, repin is right, GM does need to get it'* **** together. If they don't, other companies are going to pass by them so fast they will just fail horribly and disappear under the sunset.
