Good point. The Asian cars are built better and last longer with fewer breakdowns. However, the earthquake and tsunami did a number on their manufacturing

Sounds like bonus time for the brilliant managers that made it all happen.

Isn't it amazing that GM bubbles to the "top" right here in an election year?
IF their figures are true and not propped up by stimulus money and fleet (Volt) sales to the government, then I would suspect that their trucks are the bulk of the sales.
I have vowed - due directly to obama and his cronyism with unions - that I will never purchase another vehicle made by a unionized company...especially GM.
Obama and unions are the bane of America's problems.

Wow - from your link: Through November, Chevy sold over 35% of its production to fleets
We noticed that our city's utility department is driving new Chevy trucks.

they dont pay taxes, borrow huge amount of money for zero interests, huge subsides from government and government buying GM cars as well.they stiff their lenders, too. Hard to beat that "edge."

General Motors re-emerges as world's top vehicle-maker two years after near bankruptcy GM did go bankrupt and no longer exists. It did not re-emerge. A new company was capitalized by the government to buy votes and is using the GM name. Barky's administration has carefully studied the mistakes of the Japanese and has set out to make every one of them.

GM is now active in the B-B-Q grill market.....Only 40,000.00 each
To: Arrowhead1952
Here's the best part: Because margins on fleet sales are low, GM may have made little or lost money on the deal.
Unless, of course, the gov't paid an inflated price for the vehicles in order to shovel some more taxpayer money GM's way.....?

As of 8:54am CDT...GM stock is up 15 cents (less than half a percent) and dropping..
...don't it make sense that if the "news" was really good, the stock should be going out of sight....??...

The single best reason NOT to buy a Government Motors Car:
Every GM car sold enrichens the UAW labor union.
Obama has turned GM into a multi-billion dollar pipeline to funnel taxpayer money to the UAW.
Exactly how much taxpayer money per car is Obama giving GM as a subsidy?
How many GM cars are being forced on government agencies by the Obama administration to pump up sales?

Exactly. Meanwhile, too many people who should know better pretend nothing has changed since The Marxist Onada usurped the presidency.

The new name is General Motors Company but you’d think it was General Miracle Company.
