If I were to buy a car right now, GM would probably be the last place I'd look since there's so many better options out there.
Personal opinion of course. |

But seriously, they need to make a better product, pretty soon the Big Three will be Toyota, Honda, and Hyundai....o.k. maybe not Hyundai, but you get the picture... 1 Cross + 3 Nails = Forgiven Quote: |

I think the only cars currently being made that I actually like the way they look are Fords. |

Combine the lack of quality with the unsustainable labor agreements the Big Three have with their unions, and short of a government funded bailout or a complete reinvention, I don't see any of them existing in anything resembling their current form in another decade or two.

#9 | | SACKBOOOOY!!!! Join Date: Dec 2006 Posts: 4,662 Location: Tukzin, Az Collection Count: A hundred or so News Credits: 3 | I'm not surprised. With the rising popularity(still) of Toyota and Honda, and the fact that car sales in general the first 4 months of 07 compared to 06 were horrible. I can see that happening. The sales at my lot were down 50% from last year. And the finance companies I work with are all hurting because most dealerships are in the same position.
People get out there and buy some cars DAMMIT!!  [my music] |

The problem is the overwhelming perception that there still is. |
