GM hosts big customers at Valley resort

General Motors Corp. is wining and dining its biggest customers at the Sheraton Wild Horse Pass Resort this week as its executives in Detroit work to keep the company out of bankruptcy court.

More than 500 of GM's largest fleet and commercial customers, from Shell Oil to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, have been flown to Phoenix at the company's expense to preview the 2010 lineup of GM cars and trucks.

The company trucked in more than 150 vehicles for customers to test-drive on a special track that meandered through the resort's desert setting on the Gila River Indian Reservation.

Besides the test drives, guests were treated to two nights of food and lodging at the posh resort and spa, where the average room goes for $300 per night. GM said it booked the rooms more than a year ago and paid less than $250.
