I just assumed that there would be 2010 production delays. I expect GM to file bankruptcy later next month. I think that would benefit them more than getting involved with our gov't. I just read where the Obama admin are preparing bankruptcy filings for Chrysler.

Now you've done it. You're going to hear from the folks on this forum who don't want any bad news about GM to be posted. 
But to some of us, that's welcome news. Hopefully for those waiting for a new 2010 Corvette, BG will only be down an extra week.

Just watched the Mayor of Bowling Green give an "official" announcement that "The new 2010 Corvette will be introduced THIS Friday" and the Corvette plant is slowing production and closing for an extra week" .... ALL in the same statement. You can't make this stuff up. Then after quizzing, she said that yes the permanent closing of the GM Bowling Green facility WILL have a huge impact on the City's tax base and that 'they' are already making adjustments to the City budget to prepare. WOW, what a positive interview
