However, if I am wrong the few of you that own these vehicles will be sitting on a gold mine!
Sorry in advance, but I think this analysis is wrong. There is nothing special about the V2 or ZR1 in the grand scheme of things. They are great cars relative to their class but if GM went BK they would end up as low volume cars with high cost parts and zero aftermarket.

I live in a region where people despise the American automakers. I've spent a lot of time thinking about why people hate them so much. It almost always seems like perception. The press pulls peoples emotional strings and convinces them that their own soverign manufacturing companies and employees are the enemy.

This is gut check time people. The Japanese government supports their companies, it is time to stand up and be counted or start heading to the rice boards.

I support the Big 3.
