Default GM gets 9million from giving Gallaraga a Corvette

They may have lost $53k on a vette, but thanks to the media they got $9million dollars from it.

Explains why they did it, smart move by them...they knew the media would want to eat it up and so they did and GM made some bank from it.

Title is a little misleading. GM didn't get $9 million from this stunt, the coverage from the media is the equivalent they would have spent for the same advertising.

Very clever none-the-less. Kudos to GM.
