They paid back the government supplied loans, but the context in which "bailout" is being used is referring to the government owned stock that is still present inside the company at 61%.

In my opinion, strictly speaking from economic terms, the bailout, for any of the bankrupt companies that received it, should have never happened. However, now that the past is done and nothing can be changed, it is in the best of interest of GM to rid itself of government involvement ASAP.

Yeah me too. I think if you're going to use another company's name, at least make it look exclusive. I mean besides the badging, you can barely tell the difference between it and a regular F-150.

UPDATE: The first available Volt is subject to huge dealer markup! http://www.autoblog.com/2010/08/02/report-chevrolet-dealer-ready-to-charge-20-000-over-msrp-for-v/ While I think this article is a little too hasty in condemning GM, which seems to be the norm by critics, it still shows the...

It was found in a recent study that the majority (95%+ if I recall correctly) only drive 40 miles a day. So it seems to be wrong that the gas motor will be used at all for the majority of Americans.

The engines going into the new 2011 F150 are going to be the 3.7L and 5.0L from the 2011 Mustangs. The third one will be the 3.5L EcoBoost engine, which is found in the Taurus SHO.
