GM should have been allowed to go through Chapter 11 bankruptcy. They should have broken the union contracts and started over without the UAW.

I buy Toyota trucks for precise reason that they are non-union made.

I would have purchased a new GM, Dodge or a Ford last fall except for the fact that they are all union made and bought the Toyota instead. Made in a non-union factory in Indiana.

I am like you. We just purchased a new car to replace our 10 year GM vehicle.

We did not visit a GM or Chrysler dealership in our shopping trips.

I felt that if a company is so incompetent that it let itself go bankrupt, then I have no desire to buy their products.

I have my first Toyota, a Tacoma and love it.

My last truck was a Ford Ranger XLT that gave me almost 10 years with maybe a week total downtime.

And I bet you like the quality of the workmanship on your Toyota better than the UAW cars as well. I will never buy a new GM or Chrysler product again...indeed, it breaks my heart cause I love the Jeep Commander...but, I will not support the UAW!

I love Toyota!!!

The sad fact for the UAW automakers is that they jumped in bed with the liberals with the bailouts, when in fact their customer base was middle class conservative males.

They make nothing on eco-twit buzzbomb toy cars, all their profits came from full size trucks and SUVs. Something liberals mock and don't buy.

Now they pissed off their middle class taxpaying buyers and are doomed. When the bailouts end they are out of business.
