So sad to see another great American made product get shut down.

More jobs lost and anther great off road product extinct. Just makes me wonder what the future of our sport will be. With Pres. Barry's proposed CAFE standards it wont be long before anything with 4wd is a thing of the past.

I hate that we have to lose choices. sooner or later we will all drive the same vehicle:mad: Probably have to be painted with milk based paint, too

And the company that makes Interco tires is looking for a buyer also.

Looks like GM restructuring is going to pot! Buick can't be far down the road from going away. I read something about Chevy badges going to cars only and all trucks would carry a GMC badge, with Caddy being the high end of course...

But what do I know I'm a Dodge/Jeep guy...

I never got over them stealing the Jeep grill, but anything that pissed off the Siera Club was okay with me.
