Hear say is that the Pontiac dealer in Eklhart Indiana, Battjes Pontiac, is toast. Supposedly they have thru 2010 then they're done. But Pontiac is suposed to be gone too so what could one suspect.....

My wife and I were there today to see the last truck come off the line. Not a fun time. However, there was a compound full of 2010 Camaros sitting across the road. I was also told today that the new Camaro flex line will be building the Equinox and one other vehicle as well. We can always hope that things get better. http://rides.webshots.com/album/572065527ajvsFG

A very sad day yesterday indeed. I was always proud of that truck plant. ALmost 50 years building trucks coming to an end. Sad indeed..........

I heard that in the latest corporate audit, Oshawa was number one. Guess who was at the bottom.....the Mexican plant which will still be running. I also heard that the Mexicans took a huge wage cut to less than $3 per hour. Somehow I don't think that GM has learned their lessons on what happens when quality doesn't count. Remember the cars of the '80s.
