I think, given all GM's problems, it's dead.

That's the first I have heard about Volvo possibly buying GM out. Its kind of sad to even think about the Corvette no longer existing, but on the other hand I think I would rather see it go away then let Volvo build it....I don't know

I am not sure I would put much trust in that rumor.
Volvo is owned by Ford, so I doubt Volvo would buy GM. I can't see Ford trying to either: they certainly want GM's market share but they probably sense they can get it gradually, without all the hassles of taking over a debt-ridden company, without all the investment, just by building and marketing better cars (which they are doing, overall, by a small but noticeable margin). I can see Ford stepping in to buy GM only if it felt another buyer looking at it was a threat to it (i.e., Toyota or Kia or -- God forbid -- Renault(probably the only people who could screw GM up worse than it is already)).
I expect, as with Chrysler back before the K-car, our government will not let GM go bankrupt, at least while the current adminstration is running Washington, and would not let it fall to an unacceptable foriegn buyer.
