Well, I guess you needed to look at the bad first.
20% cut in White collar work force
Another 300k truck and suv units cut
Sale of Hummer
Little info ont he cars.
Like jake said, the Cruze will be Chevy's world car, and will have a 1.4turbo engine getting 40-45mpg highway, without the use of hybrid technology. Thats Prius gas milage for thousands less. It will replace the Cobalt, not join it. Cobalt name will disappear.
There will be a new Aveo replacement coming that will also be use this 1.4 engine getting more then 45+mpg. That will be the Fit/Yaris fighter.
The Buick sedan will replace the current LaCrosse, and will also be a world car. This car was designed by GM's Chinese Buick Division. It will bring Enclave's style and luxury into Buick's first not-made-for-old-peopole sedan. No more 3800's, no more 4spd autos, no more vinyl bench seats...
The new Equinox will have GM's new 2.3 liter 4cyl using direct injecton getting 30mpg or more with a GM (no more Toyota) 6 speed automatic transmission out of a car about as big as the new Ford Edge.
The Caddy SRX and Saab 9-4x will use a premium version of the theta platform, and also incorperate modern technology, with Saab possibly bringing in its BioPower turbo engines where they have made 400hp on turbocharged V6's using Ethanol fuel.
And just in case people still think GM doesnt have the cars with the best fuel economy, the 2009 EPA ratings are out
Cobalt XFE will be bumped to 37mpg (class leading)
Malubu and Aura with 2.4/6spd combo will get 33mpg (class leading)
GM trucks get the 6spd autos this year as well, bumping up thier already class leading fuel economy.
Oh...yeah and I forgot about this..

To the Many Friends of Camaro:
We know it seems to many of you this day would never arrive, but on Monday, July 21, 2008, at 4:00 PM, EDT, Ed Peper, Chevrolet’s General Manager, and Ed Welburn, GM’s Director of Design, will unveil the details of the 2010 Chevrolet Camaro. This unveil will be the first step in answering the many questions (or should we say confirming the many rumors) surrounding the new Camaro.
Due to many factors, we are not able to extend an invitation to the entire Camaro community to join us in person for the dual, simultaneous unveilings that will take place in Warren, MI, and Los Angeles, CA.
We understand many of you may be disappointed not being able to see the car “in the flesh” that day (and therefore give you a reason to meet us at Indy in September); therefore, we are arranging a live webcast of the Warren unveiling on the GM Next website.
On Monday, July 21, just before 4:00 PM, EDT, go to http://camaro.gmnext.com and click on the "Camaro webcast" link at the top of the page (the Camaro link goes live July 17) to tune in the unveiling. If you cannot watch the webcast live, no worries, an archive of the broadcast will be available on GMNext.com and Chevy.com/Camaro.
Speaking of Chevy.com/Camaro, the next evolution of the site will also debut late Monday afternoon. The next evolution will include images of the production model, exclusive production animation, and a downloadable PDF file containing specifications on the 2010 Camaro. After the webcast, come on over and see the changes for yourself.
If all your questions are not answered during the reveal, a web-chat on the 2010 Camaro will take place the next day (Tuesday, July 22) at GMNext.com. The chat will start at 9:30 AM, EDT, and will feature experts from Chevrolet Marketing, Design and Engineering.
Since Camaro’s production announcement in August 2006, many people throughout GM have been passionately developing a car worthy of its heritage that features beautiful styling, segment-leading performance, excellent fuel economy and advanced technology. Quite honestly, we can't wait to show you all the work on Monday.
Sincerely,
Team Camaro
