Shares of General Motors (up $4.99 to $32.76, Research) jumped after investor Kirk Kerkorian made an $868 million tender offer for another 5 percent of GM -- a move that could end in shaking up the troubled automaker. The price -- about $31 a share -- was well above GM's closing price of $27.77 Tuesday.
Sounds like Kirk wants to have a say in the future of the company.

granted the Camaro is a little Aston-ish, but who doesn't like those cars. Also the GNX would be really different from that pic, which was done about 5 years ago, wow that seems like yesterday.

before i go on, i would like to note that i do NOT like GM and i find it humorous that Lutz is butt-rapin' em all.
If i were running things, here is what i would do
1. Buick
ok, this car company is one of my favs and i love the new lacrosse, heres what the line-up needs
1. Buick Luxury Truck--Mark LT Lacks competition
2. Buick Lacrosse -- add a 6 spd Manual and maybe the northstar 4.6l V8?
3. Buick Skylark -- from a 6 to a GS, Buick would compete with the Mustang, it would have the lacrosse's six as a start, then the top model, the GS, would have an LS2
4. HALO - Buick GNX-- this would RULE i'd say a Supercharged Lacrosse V6, with a 6 speed Manual....oh, MAN that would RULE
2. Pontiac
As much as i want this to Die....well, dammit, i loved the T/As (big, deep, dark secret)
1. Pontiac Grand AM - I HATE THIS CAR, but it brought in the sales..a wagon needs to be added, and it should be shifted to a RWD platform, the Grand AM GT will have the lacrosse's V6 and i think a grand am convertible should be offered only in the GT body style
2. Pontiac GTO - ugh, i'd say axe it, but..whatever, i'd say modernize the old T/A F-body, make it low, mean, and still sell it for a high price, as to compete with BMW M3s and such
3. Pontiac Firebird - this HAS to come back to help this company survive, dammit. start out with the 6, end with a Supercharged 4.6 northstar
4. HALO - Pontiac Solstice - yup, this be the Halo. keep the powertrain but add a Solstice GT with an inline Six
3. GMC (WARNING THIS WILL BE TABOO)
1. GMC Performance CAR- you read that right, i think GMC needs to add a CAR to it's line up, im thinking a GTO clone, maybe? it would turn heads, i mean, sing the red letters in the grille of a car..
4. Chevrolet
1. Camaro - ok, as much as i hate to say this, i want this back, the Mustang vs Camaro wars RULED this is what needs to be done
(THIS IS THE ONLY THING CHEVY NEEDS TO GASP IN ENOUGH AIR TO LIVE)
1. Camaro RS - G6/Lacrosse V6
2. Camaro Z28 - 4.6 Northstar V8
3. Camaro SS - LS2
thats all i can think of for the brands that matter at all to me...

The Lacrosse's V6 is a widely used engine by GM. The 3800 Series III can be found in the Grand Prix, Impala, and Monte Carlo.

I have not seen a single Mark LT out there, and doubt I will see many at all. I have seen two blackwoods in my life, both at the dealership.
The Mark LT was just a plain dumb idea.
It will not sell well.
