Much of the hole GM is in is because of decades of poorly made crap that they foisted on us. They felt entitled to our business. This gave rise to Japanese companies who made better cars. GM is making better cars than before but in few segments are they as good as the Japanese. People like me who American companies drove into the arms of Honda aren’t switching back without being given a gigantic reason and so far GM’s products aren’t at all compelling enough to win me back. I’m very, very, very happy with my current company and you don’t change horses in mid-stream without good reason.

“gave rise to Japanese companies who made better cars.”

And the Chinese who are busy innovating by trying to make more fuel efficient cars.

Yeah, my 2 Chevy’s and Ford drove me to Nissan and I don’t know when I would trust them with a $25,000 purchase again. Especially when I see how poorly they hold their value.

Just as political parties feel entitled to our votes!

Is anyone blaming the consumer for not raving about GM, Ford, or Chrysler's junk? No!

Yet the voters get the blame when lame or mediocre candidates and campaigns lose elections.

ok ok.... /soapbox

I nrented a Pontiac G-6 a few months ago when I was in California. I was pleasantly surprised, but quickly remembered that it took them forty years to put out a reasonably sized car that handles well and can actually move onto an interstate easily. They are too stupid to be saved, IMO.
