FR739 Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 Wow these results are incredible! Nice to see the rebound but it’s certainly only temporary. Come January, companies will see a decline in revenue for at least the next 4 years. Hope GM is saving a lot of this money. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That being said, that car was the answer that the market needed in the early 80's and if GM built that with even the slightest hint of quality, that car would have been their Camry and the Toyota would have never had a chance. Instead it is the butt of many jokes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With another wave of Covid-19 cases happening all over the world, the automotive industry overall could face some serious setbacks next year. GM has to balance their long term goals with short term survival. The incredible Q3 results show that GM is not just surviving but thriving, but who knows what the next 3 quarters have in store.

Nobody cared about the crowds outside the White House when it was Biden supporters. But if it were Trump supporters, it'd have been the end of the world - mega covid death spreaders blah blah blah. I don't care who you support and/or voted for, but the hypocrisy (on both sides) is ridiculous. Edited November 9, 2020 by rmc523 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 To be fair, you really have to consider Ford and GM 3rd quarter as being both 2nd and 3rd quarter combined with so much getting delayed in March and April. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

valve Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 I know this is a hot topic but maybe we could leave the politics to a different thread, dedicated to that topic, and get back to talking about cars (and competitors)?

Thank you valve sir. GM announced today that it's adding 3,000 jobs in Q4 2020 and Q1 2021 in areas related to the company's software. GM's strong 3Q 2020 results probably played a big role in this decision, along with their long term goal of transitioning to a 100% electric vehicle lineup. https://media.gm.com/media/us/en/gm/home.detail.html/content/Pages/news/us/en/2020/nov/1109-techjobs.html Edited November 10, 2020 by rperez817 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the nature of politics, nothing new there. The important thing for GM and Ford too is that both companies congratulated the new president elect of the USA and are looking forward to working with his administration. GM statement, from VP Ken Morris. Quote "We're looking forward to working with the Biden administration in support of policies that will foster greater adoption of EVs across all 50 states and encourage investments in R&D and manufacturing. At the end of the day, climate change is a global concern. And the best way to remove automobile emissions from the environmental equation is an all-electric zero-emissions future." Ford statement. Quote "We congratulate President-Elect Biden and the newly and re-elected officials across all levels of government. It is our hope these leaders will focus on bringing the country together and pursue policies that encourage U.S. manufacturing, sustainability, and global economic stability."

GM statement, from VP Ken Morris. Ford statement. Biden was instrumental in saving the auto companies back in 2009 and a good friend to Detroit over the years. Metro Detroit got its fair share of Tiger funds during that time. Still remember Mitt Romney who grew up just down the road from me being against the auto bailouts. Btw, the Romney family home in Palmer Park was torn down a few years ago. Kind of symbolic in a way. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True but that’s the orange mans vaccine so I expect half the country not to take it. Heck it may not be available as someone in the new cabinet wants to distribute it to the world before all Americans. Sounds logical. We come up with the vaccine and are the last to get it.

Hi If you guys want to discuss politics, can you create a new thread? This is a very polarizing subject that probably doesn't need to be in the middle of a discussion on GM's third quarter results.

I find it amazing how the party of “inclusion and diversity” is anything but inclusive and diverse if you think differently/don’t agree with everything they say. This us vs. them mentality needs to stop. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This us vs. them mentality needs to stop. That's literally the one thing I'm giving Joe Biden credit for right now is preaching unity. Problem his, practically NOBODY else in the party is, they’re going the exact opposite direction with their Trump supporter/donor lists and whatnot.
