Default 2010

Only 9K on the 06 Conv, but the bug is starting to itch. Building my own on the Chevy website, reading the forum twice a day, starting to think about calling dealers etc.

What news do we have on the 2010? Any and all changes that anyone knows would be appreciated.

Thanks much for your help!

Given the state of the economy, and GM's financial difficulties, I would be surprised to see anything more than some minor tweaks.

You'll probably get less speculative responses after the new year.

agree, aside from perhaps two or three msrp increases I would expect them to milk the present C6 and add no additional cost ( that's not to say they won't be looking for ways to reduce cost-maybe lower grade leather? )

GM stock closed below $5.00 a share today. At this rate I may buy the company, but I have not yet decided if there will be any changes for 2010

I hope GM is still in business in 2010!

GM will be around. The government won't let them go.

I'm most interested in knowing what new color(s) they have planned for 2010, I'm really hoping for green to return!

Well, to quote Tom Paxton:

Oh the price of gold is rising out of sight
And the dollar is in sorry shape tonight
What the dollar used to get us
Now won't buy a head of lettuce
No the economic forecast isn't right
But amidst the clouds I spot a shining ray

I can even glimpse a new and better way
And I've demised a plan of action
Worked it down to the last fraction
And I'm going into action here today

CHORUS:
I am changing my name to Chrysler
I am going down to Washington D.C.
I will tell some power broker
What they did for Iacocca
Will be perfectly acceptable to me
I am changing my name to Chrysler
I am headed for that great receiving line
So when they hand a million grand out
I'll be standing with my hand out
Yes sire I'll get mine

When my creditors are screaming for their dough
I'll be proud to tell them all where they can all go
They won't have to scream and holler
They'll be paid to the last dollar
Where the endless streams of money seem to flow
I'll be glad to tell them what they can do
It's a matter of a simple form or two
It's not just renumeration it's a liberal education
Ain't you kind of glad that I'm in debt to you

CHORUS

Since the first amphibians crawled out of the slime
We've been struggling in an unrelenting climb
We were hardly up and walking before money started talking
And it's sad that failure is an awful crime
Well it's been that way for a millenium or two
But now it seems that there's a different point of view
If you're a corporate titanic and your failure is gigantic
Down to congress there's a safety net for you

CHORUS
