Great, now all of Oshawa will reflect the downtown portion of it. It's bad enough having a hillybilly with a 3 foot grey beard wearing a pink shirt roaming the streets looking for **** and whiskey.

Perhaps this will be a solution to the traffic problems in North Oshawa and the people will move out...sarcasm aside, it hurts everyone

Rather then getting rid of the line altogether, they should get rid of the cars that are exactly the saME!!!! i.e - The Cobalt and Pursuit, The Equinox and Torrent, The Sierra and Silverado.., That ugly *** Chevy van and Pontiac van.

JUST FRIGGN PICK ONE!@#%#%^!#^

Brand new car that was introduced by GM this year I like is the Solstice.

Hummer is also part of the GM line up. I don't think they should get rid of Hummer, but no on mentioned them in the list...lol

I personally dont feel sorry for any of the poeple working at gm, majority of them got their jobs because they new somone on the inside.

I dont feel sorry for poeple wokring at places like Johnsons control(make buick parts), and TDS, their big suppliers for gm.

im hoping that this causes a domino effect that will raise interest rates and lower the prices of homes in toronto.

one thing is for certain: things are going to change.

I agree with people here about the union screwing the big 3. GM has a hell of a line up though. Look at the Cobalt SS or the Monte Carlo SS. GM's reliability is either on par or better than the industry average. The good thing about the big 3 is they are bringing back V8 powered cars and they're affordable. Honda has no V8. Toyota does but most people can't afford a Lexus. GM is on the right track all they need are good Public Relations people.
