i think the point is that if they can't avoid putting lead into children's toys and toothpaste, they'll have a tough time with the quality control required to build a car

Those GM pensioners better hope that you're right, but it seems like a huge assumption to me. China has designed and built their own fighter jets -- there's nothing supernaturally difficult about building a reasonable car for less than GM can do it.

the fact that china built is own fighter jets is completely irrelevant due to the fact that they aren't built on the cheap. not to mention they're fighter jets. have you been paying attention at all to news about chinese product recalls lately?

Oh I see -- fighter jets are totally different, since they're fighter jets, but lead paint on Barbie dolls is proof that their brand new cars in the $4000-$9,000 range are poorly engineered and will never sell. Anyone else feel like investing for the long haul in GM right about now? I know I'm going to.
