Few companies make it back from bankruptcy, one of the reasons is that consumer confidence is eroded in that company. Cars are a major purchase and you have to believe that the company that you bought yours from will be there to stand behind that car.
I fly an airlines that went bankrupt... I think a failure in the sky is more deadly than a failure in a car on the ground. One just stops moving the other starts moving faster UNTIL it hits the GROUND.

Yes I would still buy a ZR1, or CTS-V or Z06 or Escallade if GM files chapter 11.
Even more so if they completely go bally up. What better car to have, the crown jewl, once they stop making them.
