I bought my wife a nice new car in January - a Toyota. I have purchased GM vehicles for 30 years and always felt good about it. I felt like I was doing my little part to help my country and my fellow Americans. But lately, GM products have really become inferior and the Unions have shown absolutely no limit to their greed. They no longer deserve my loyalty or support. GM left me - I didn’t leave them.

BTW my wife’s Toyota is the most amazing car I have ever owned. I don’t expect to ever buy an American made car again. Too bad.

Ditto To that.

I went though college on a General Motors scholarship - felt enough loyalty to the company to continue to buy GM cars even when they looked like crap and drove about the same - but never again after this governmental hijacking....

Kind of tough to boycott since I bought my last GM product in 1986. Last American vehicle in 1993.

THe last new GM I bought was in 1999. I have purchased 2 Toyota’s since then.

Don’t give me the crap about “American Built,” as 79% of one toyota vehicle was manufactured here in the US, and a similar percentage of the other was as well.

To support GM any longer is to support STATE OWNED industry. See, that’s called SOCIALISM. Whether it’s the nationalist brand of Socialism (Fascism) or the internationalist brand (Communism) it really doesn’t matter much — they both take us to the same place.

IF I consider an “American made” car in the future, it will be a Ford. Like their Founder Henry Ford, who refused government “help” in the Great Depression, the board and CEO of present day Ford said “no thanks” to a Washington Bailout. They MIGHT survive — GM, Chrysler — they are doomed.

Even before this fiasco, I had decided to never buy another GM product because of the union involvement and the stupidity of the GM management to agree to such overblown contracts. I have a GM truck which I bought 5 years ago which is my only transportation but I would drive the damn thing off “the levy” if I thought it would kill the Obama music.

I've not bought any of their products new since 1982. And the only two exceptions were a couple of $400 beaters that I picked up in the 90's that lasted the six months or so that I needed them to.

It has nothing to do with unions or bailouts, I just got tired of being a sucker, getting a car that would not outlast its financing.

[Mr. Jeeves]

Judging by their sales figures, America has been very effectively boycotting GM since the 80’s.

we won't buy another GM product....we work hard for our money, don't get bonuses or pensions or get to sit around in a room and do nothing and get paid for it.....

they can go to hell....bama and his fellow nazis.
