Its really worse than that.GM "paid us back" with othe rmoney it borrowed from the Federal government. The entire advertisement was a lie.
AND don't forget all the debts they never have to pay back because of the bankruptcy !!!
Been saying this all along. After purchasing several new & used GM vehicles, as much as i hate to admit this - I would NEVER buy another new GM vehicle from obama motors. No chance. GM was losing money, and giving bonuses to their brass, and their outta control unions? Screw 'em.
