GM doesn't have the capital to up and move. Period.

LOL. HELLO!

Has no one questioned that it's a big rumor only because the OP put the statement out there? The only reason Texas is in this post is because that's where the OP lives.


The issue here is if GM will leave downtown Detroit and move to a suburb of Detroit. There was never any talk of GM leaving the state. Read a news article.

It's all Detroit vs. Warren....

GM has a facility in Arlington. That is my bet on a new HQ. Lower taxes, lower cost of living, it all adds up. Plus, with the new Cowboys stadium, this area is HOT!

They have been spending huge money overseas on facilities while posting big gain loses here in the U.S. I think they have the capital by switching some money around.

The only thing hot about Dallas is the weather.

I'm thinking it's just that, a rumor that I've never heard. Did you come up with this BIG rumor?

Even though this would be great for Texas--and just maybe some of that would spill into my state--I can't possibly wish this final blow on the city of Detroit and the State of Michigan.
