Default GM Bailout

General Motors made the final payment today of: 5.8 billion dollars to the United States and Canadian Governments. This payment is part of the 6.7 billion dollars GM borrowed during the bailout and bankruptcy.

As a multiple Vette owner...just wanted to let you know that GM is no longer "Government Motors"...

I just received this email from GM......

Dear Mark,

We value and appreciate your loyalty more than anything. We are proud to announce we have repaid our government loan – in full, with interest, five years ahead of the original schedule. We realize we still have more to do. Our goal is to exceed every expectation you've set for us. We're designing, building and selling the best cars and trucks in the world. Like the award-winning Chevy Malibu, the all-new Buick LaCrosse, the versatile Cadillac CTS Sport Wagon and the innovative GMC Terrain, just to name a few. As we move into the future, we're thankful to have loyal owners like you. We invite you to learn more about the new GM and join our community, by visiting gm.com. And once again, thank you for your support.


Susan E. Docherty
Vice President, U.S. Marketing
