Well, the guy down the street doesn’t make cars, so I am kind of stuck here. I won’t by Jap, and euro cars are too expensive.

Help me out here....

Thanks for posting. Interesting.

I see it as this...(posted on “Automotive Industry Continues a Slow Death” thread)...

They’re (government/industry/union/judges/propagandists) are already floating the new lexicon, “managed bankruptcy” (managed economy/life anyone?) where they offload much of the legacy costs on EVERY U.S. taxpayer. Some of hard-working retirees (with no voice) are in effect told to eat a crap sandwich and die. Then the government/industry/union/judges/propagandists/fascists/collectivists can emerge from this with happy faces, take some pictures, talk to each other, kiss some babies and do some greasy gladhanding before they move forward to their next scam.

...their assembly (build) quality is below Ford’s - on a par with Chrysler/Dodge/Plymouth.

I have owned vehicles from all three and I love my current Chrysler Town & Country as well as my previous Plymouth Grand Voyagers.

My last Grand Voyager, an 1990, had the 3.3 liter Chrysler engine and I finally sold it for $500 in 2006 with 258,000 miles on it.

It needed paint but other than that was still in very good mechanical shape and the interior was still is very good shape.

The worst built car I had was when I married and thus inherited a 1979 Datsun 210 (not the B210, just the plain old 210).

Worst piece of junk to ever roll the roads.

My favorites were my 5 liter Mustangs and my Corvettes.

Someone should ask these Bozos to quote a Founding Father who pontificated about transferring trillions of dollars from one Group to another group in order to help them while devastating the other .
I would like them to enlighten the masses on the section of the Constitution that they swore an oath to that allows them to turn us from a Republic into a Dictatorship .

"..GM cars have great design and engineering sophistication.."

Uhhh...no, they don't have great design and engineering sophistication.

You must be thinking of some other company.

"GM cars. Their build, design, and quality have always been superior...I havent had problems with GM cars."

I have had problems, so I guess that means their consistency is not good.

Either.

“Their build, design, and quality have always been superior.”

I’d have to say that’s a matter of either luck or opinion. I used to have a Chevy and it needed a new electrical system after 37,000 (how convienent as that’s right after the 3/36 warranty). My husband’s friend has been a GM guy all his life and finally caved when he bought a brand new Duramax truck that needed a new tranny after only 300 miles, then again at 25,000. His wife just got put new brakes and rotors on her 6 month old Equinox.

Not to mention their vehicles, along with Chrysler and Ford, have nothing but cheap plastic interior. $25,000 for plastic. It’s s shame.

I won a Dodge Avenger, unfortunately and it’s the same deal-junk quality, junk engineering, junk design.

These vehicles are not made with pride or exception. They are union junk, mass-made to get a quick buck.

the panel of experts we've assembled on the auto industry is working with GM and the others on their plan

The Central Planning Committee. Evil arising from the ashes of Communism.
