People are showing up again and sales are slowly rising, at least where I am... for Corvettes anyway. And looks like the new Caddys are moving too, but DOA for GM trucks.
Like we've all discussed:
GM- Cadillac, Corvette, Cobalt, Malibu, Chevy trucks, Buick, Pontiac Gs, Saturn- PLAY ON!!!
... burn the rest, including upper management, and if they acquire Chrysler, bring back public executions
Chrysler- SEE YAAAAAAAAAAAAA
My .02

But I'm not sure that some of the rest of them really deserve to sell. The Pontiac G6, which, in convertible form, is an easy, cheap way to get a folding hard-top, is exactly that, IMO....cheap. Its interior, unlike that of its its Aura/Malibu brothers, is most unimpressive; materials used are rather cheap except for some center-dash *****, and the all-black coloring is like being inside of a coal mine (also a problem with the G8 GT to an extent). I have not personally test-driven the G6 (yet), but Consumer Reports has a low opinion of how it drives and its well-below-average reliability record. The Cadillac STS has a excellent V6 powertrain, but is otherwise rather mediocre. The senior-citizen DTS, once a soft-riding cloud for those seeking comfort, has been firmed up (unnecessarily) and is no longer quite as comfortable on the road. The whole Saturn line is now missing the nice, unique plastic bodies that their predecessors had (a big selling point) that warded off dents and corrosion, and, except for the rather nice Aura, IMO, has little to recommend them, except for the traditionally excellent Saturn sales/service policies.

January sales numbers up somewhat, wonderful.
Wait 'til we see the billions of dollars lost in GM's operating results for Q1 2009 (they don't publish financial results by month or for January only), the losses will be staggering. Not a healthy business.
