how is the g8 so far. I was thinking about looking at one but then I remembered it snowed here. Well that and my dad has a rear wheel drive sts at the time and he got stuck getting into the drive way once this winter.
If GM goes down they are pulling so much others stuff down with them that it will be years until any of the auto industry is healthy. A lot of suppliers are already hurting and gm going down would absolutely kill them. Which would negatively impact the other manufactures as they scramble to get capacity or parts even made any where else.
Its not as easy as flipping a switch to start making new parts. It can take months to validate a new supplier and get them producing parts up to the quality that is demanded. It takes less time if the supplier is already on the list of okay suppliers but it still takes time to get the process setup. As not all supplier use the same manufacturing equipment or process for production. So each setup has to be tweaked a bit to make it work.
