We love our Nissan Titan and Honda Ridgeline. Perfect for work, travel, hauling, and three kids. I’ll never buy a GM or Chrysler.
I’ve sworn off Government Motors. They allowed Barak A%%hole Obama to essentially fire the president of the company (Rick Wagoner) and perform a hostile takeover. They are dead to me.
Had I been Wagoner I’d have told that forked tongued, demon infested, commie rat 0-bastard to march into the ocean, and then filed for bankruptcy.
Speaking personally I can say that I bought GM products my whole life but when I bought my new truck it was a Ford and I’ll never buy GM again.
I used to be a GM car and Dodge truck man.
I will NEVER buy another GM vehicle - PERIOD! And I am still skiddish about looking at the Dodges.
The company I work for has been in business since 1996 (actually 16 companies (each with at least 35 years of experience) banded together in 1996) and has ALWAYS had GM trucks. In 2009, we canceled our company fleet contract and we are slowly replacing ALL of our trucks, vans and SUVs with Fords!
I never was a Ford man, but the 2010 Ford F150 Crew Cab that I have is AWESOME! Liked it so much, when we were looking for a large SUV, we purchased a used Excursion! First Ford I have ever owned!
We are looking to purchase a new car for my 20 y/o daughter and we are only looking at Fords and foreign (American assembled) cars!!
My 2003 GMC Envoy Denali is the LAST GM product I will ever buy. Ford, Honda and Toyota are the only brands I will look at.
I got a ‘98 Silverado, and a ‘94 Pontiac. Been driving GM since I first got my license in ‘75.
Government Motors has lost my business. My next auto or truck (I’ve already decided my next bike - Yamaha) will either be Ford, or perhaps a Toy. At least the Toy is made in the US in right to work states.
You can’t even get a manual tranny in full sized pickups, it’s NOT OFFERED. The world has become very strange place.
Leave us not forget The Regime’s response when Ford had the temerity to remind folks that it wasn’t a participant in the shake down/bail out.

Ford Caves to Obama Regime
The unscripted Ford ad in which a customer
explains that he bought a Ford because the
company did not allow itself to be bought out by
Big Government has been pulled under
pressure by the same administration that has
seized control of its competitors:
With President Barack Obama tuning his re-
election campaign amid dismal economic
conditions and simmering antipathy toward
his stimulus spending and associated
bailouts, the Ford ad carried the makings of
a political liability when Team Obama can
least afford yet another one. Can’t have
that.
The ad, pulled in response to White House
questions [i.e., pressure] (and, presumably,
carping from rival GM), threatened to
rekindle the negative (if accurate)
association just when the president wants
credit for their positive results (GM and
Chrysler are moving forward, making
money and selling vehicles) and to distance
himself from any public downside of his
decision.
I know that three and a half years ago, when my 2006 GMC Canyon was totaled and I had to unexpectedly buy a new vehicle, I avoided Dodge, Chrysler, GMC and Chevrolet products. I know that now that my wife’s Kia minivan is 9 years old and in need of replacing we’re looking at anything but a Dodge, Chrysler, GMC or Chevrolet product.
Take that as you will.
I’ve bought nothing but Chevy; however, I will never buy another. Once this truck quits, my next truck will be an F250 diesel.
I have a 1997 Chevy K1500. It has stranded me several times, cost me many thousands of dollars in factory-defect-caused repairs (look up Vortec engines and intake manifold gasket leaks), and things have broken on it that should NEVER break. I will NEVER purchase another GM vehicle, due to their poor engineering and quality, and for their taxpayer-funded union bailout.
Why hell yes, happy as I could be with my new F150.
I’ve owned GMs continuously since 1983. I won’t buy another. I’m about two years from my next purchase (I keep them for about 12-15 years).
Yup, GM & Dodge are dead to me.
I can obtain a huge discount from GM, but I will buy from others, like Ford.
I was shopping for a new truck six months ago after selling my F250. GM products were not even A consideration because of the bailout. I ended up buying a Ford F150.
Of course. But our primarly reason has always been, since 1989, that they build POS cars and trucks. And their service center is full of a bunch of boobs.
This was reaffirmed when we tried to get my dad’s Jimmy running so that we could sell it. The car was worth $3500 and the crooked dealership kept trying this and that to get it running. I told them to put it back together when they recommended an engine rebuild. It had already had an engine rebuild. Turns out it was a defective “computer.” We found this out after we sold it for a loss. The POS only had 100K miles.
I was cheering on GM’s demise and glorious end when they filed for bankruptcy. I was very unhappy when the Feds bailed them out.
The question after billions of taxpayer dollars: has anything changed or is it business as usual at GM? I am betting that it is business as usual and they will fail again in the future. Maybe they won’t be so lucky next time. I can only hope.
