Done. The current financial crisis isn’t why GM is in trouble; it only exacerbated GM’s problems.
Why is GM going bankrupt? In 1994, I bought a Chevy Lemon. When I demanded, after 5 major repairs in its first year of life, that they take it back, they only wanted to know where I financed it (not with GMAC? - too bad).
I talked to the VP for Customer Service in Detroit. I said, “You promised that the pride and quality was back in American autos, and you didn’t deliver.”
His response, I kid you not, “If you wanted quality, you should have thought about that before you bought a Chevy.”
THAT’S why GM is on the verge of bankruptcy. I’ll NEVER EVER buy another GM product. In MY driveway at this moment: A Toyota and a Hyundai, both bought new, both of which I own, outright.
In the coming meltdown, you won’t be able to afford anything. Do you really believe a country with no manufacturing will remain an economic or military super power? Assume the position necessary to kiss China’s a$$-this is the future of our formerly great nation.
In ‘91 the wife bought a Dynasty. Total lemon. In the shop all the time. She’s now on her4th Toyota. In our driveway sits two Toyotas and a Volvo. All are old but run and ride great and they’re paid for. Knock on wood.
Detroit hasn’t made a good car in years.
