Didn’t GM already sell Lordstown?


EDIT: looks like the sale is still in the talks stage, not finalized, etc.

I think the strike went down like this, this is just my personal opinion, so I may be wrong here.


Hank: I'm finally ready to buy a new truck, I love the Colorado, will order me one of those.
UAW: We are going on Strike!
Hank: You hate me don't you!
UAW: Shut it down, turn the lights off, we're out.

I'm not sure why my wife is laughing at me, but it did hurt a little.

2021 Canyon.

CT4 priced starting at $33,990. CT4-V at $45,490.

Officially dead.

Do they ever say why?

Why XTS is dead?


It was always meant as just a stopgap until the CT6. That being said it sold relatively well (probably because it was priced cheaper than CTS while being a larger car) so GM pretty much just let it ride for a while. Plus it made for a good luxury fleet car.


But it's just another casualty of the declining sedan market, and the fact that it was a FWD/AWD outlier in Cadillac's RWD/AWD sedan portfolio.

The CT6 that came after XTS that was meant as its replacement also died on the launch pad. Very sad state of affairs for the once premier brand of fine sedans, along with Buick.

Let’s not forget that the Cadillac XTS is/was built at Oshawa, Ontario. One of the plants “without product allocation”.

GM and the UAW have come to a tentative agreement.

[FenwickHockey65]

https://www.wxyz.com/money/auto-news...aw-gm-contract

(WXYZ) — According to sources these are details emerging from the tentative agreement reached between General Motors and the United Autoworkers Union.
The overall package from the company is valued at $9 billion dollars. That's up from the company's original offer of $7 billion.
The deal means 9,000 jobs - retained or new. That's up from the company's original offer of 5,400.
The deal allows the closing of Warren Transmission, Baltimore Transmission and Lordstown, Ohio assembly. The Detroit Hamtramck plant will remain open past January making an all-electric truck. The exact number of jobs has not been made public.
The 4-year deal includes 3% pay raises for two of the years and 4% lump sum payments for the other two.
There will be a ratification bonus for workers, but my sources can't confirm the number. Published reports put the number at $9,000 and $9,500. The original offer from GM was $8,000.
The path for temporary workers to reach full time will be 3 years. They make up 7% of the GM union workforce. They will get a $3,000 signing bonus.
In-Progression workers are 35% of the GM union workforce. They will have a shortened path to reach top tier wages. The current path is 8 years of employment.
Profit-sharing is uncapped. This means if GM has a record year, individual profit-sharing checks will not be limited. The current limit is $12,000.
Health care remains unchanged, workers pay 3% of their insurance. The company had wanted to increase that.

I guess theoretically GM no longer has to find a new assembly plant for CT6, and Impala could live on a little longer.
