Government Motors may still have some quality issues. Maybe some of this is politically correct propaganda, though. Is the F-250 that bad? I have an F-150 with 90k miles and no problems yet.

I don’t know about the F-250, but I just bought an F-150 STX....that truck gets 20.5 MPG which is much better than the prior two Dodges I had. I am entirely happy with this truck - and it is not Government Made.

Worst made car on the road right there. Gas milleage doesn't really mean a whole lot when you are a red smear on the highway.

And I have a 1998 Ford Expedition SUV with 196,000 miles and still running like a charm. Conversely every GM product I have owned (Olds Cutlass, Pontiac 6000, Chev Lumina, Pontiac Grand Am) have been complete dogs. I have literally replaced the entire vehicles with major repairs & maintenance. I will never buy another GM product again, especially now that they are GM (Gubmint Motors) products.
FUBO!!!

The Jeep Wrangler is included. Not to cast doubt on this report but there’s only one car in the list, the Aveo. All the rest are larger vehicles which leads me to believe the test criteria is skewed towards fuel economy and safety crash tests.

Boycott all GM products. The government beast must be starved; in fact, boycott most union-made products.

I can see all the others on the list, but the F-250? I’m puzzled by that. I never owned one, but I’ve been in several and know folks who have them.

I love my 2007 H3. I had a 1996 Ford Explorer that I loved as well.

Neither of my Nissan’s are on the list! Plus, they weren’t made by union thugs!

Trucks are obviously a no-no.

That's discrimination against rednecks!

So: what do you do with your Prius when it has 100,000 miles on it and it needs a new $6,000 dollar battery?

You've put 90,000 miles on a truck since Obama bailed GM out?

I am currently driving a Chevy Astro Van with 780,000+ miles. Runs great.

At 6'5" and 250 pounds, I just don't fit comfortably in those tiny econo-boxes. If I'm not comfortable, I cannot drive safely

Isn’t the Escalade just a tricked up Chevy Suburban?

For GM cars and trucks made before the 2009 model year, it’s a question of priorities, and I haven’t owned a GM car since my first lemon. Post-2009, it’s a question of patriotism, and I would not own a GM government motors car at any price, including for free. GM is on my permanent boycott list.

As long as I’m still breathing I will never buy another vehicle from either GM or Chrysler.

I wish i had a brand new copy of my old 87 Toyota Supra Turbo.

That car was sweet, smooth and lasted forever.

Remember when GM meant quality-built, stylish and fast cars?

In Atlas Shrugged, Century motors went through the same transformation - from meaning the best to meaning the worst, from idol to laughingstock.

Sigh
