SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) -- Fitch Ratings said Monday downgraded General Motors Corp.'s issuer default rating to CCC from B- because of the auto maker's diminishing liquidity and lack of access to capital.

It can still go lower. To "CC", and then to "C".

Then, after GM has started defaulting on their debt, they will still be rated (there are ratings in the Ds) based on how likely the company is to survive. These ratings are even further below their current CCC.

So, yeah, there's room down there. Get the lawnchair and popcorn.

Wagoner is a crook intent on destroying dealers, suppliers, and retirees. shame on us for allowing this madman to continue. shame on those here who listen in any way shape or form to the advocates of continuing this guy's pitiful performance. if people would have any common snese, they would have listened to Ron Paul regarding Washington and Buickman regarding GM. I have the answers, problem is the ignorance in acceptability. oh well...see what happens when you don't LISTEN?

We can all name you over 100 posts to which you have been very wrong about GM and another 100 posts on how many of your ideas wouldn't work and would cost GM more money. The rest of your posts are as this one, your 3 sentence copy and paste with a few words.

merge ford/gm, suspend dealership lawsuits over franchise termination, suspend cafe for 20 years for the new american car co(or get trucks out of the calculation), give em $75 billion, big tax credits toward volt technology. Do all this and yes I have been saying this for 2 or 3 years, except the cafe part which wasnt around, then.
