General Motors Commercial Touting Loan Payback (FAIL!)

[tbzooski]

GM "SUCKS"

How did GM get away with filling bankruptcy when they received the BILLIONS from the tax payer bailout? What a sham! I thought the bailout was to prevent a bankruptcy I don't even think they needed the money to begin with! I feel GM's greed took the American people and our government for fools! And we won't ever get our tax dollars back. It makes me sick to hear how much there white collar employees are getting in bonuses when they still owe the tax payers billions!

[fdjizm]

They should have let GM die, worthless lying scumbags.

Tell they us to our face that they paid off a loan they clearly did not.

[TheKaffeeKlatsch]

GM Dirtbags are LYING.

[TheKaffeeKlatsch]

@TheKaffeeKlatsch Watch the vid on Reason..... NIck lays out the truth about these A-holes.

[Janusha]

Today GM is shoe-horned into China by massive pressure from Obama. Their long term goal is to set up business there and ship Chinese built GMs back to the american people.. So much for fucking pride and patriotism.

GM took their 50 billion bailout money and effectively fled the country. Leaving 90 factories behind in Michigan for Obama to clean out. Todays GMs are built in Mexico, Brazil and 5-6 of them are simply rebadged Korean Daewoo. Never touched by american hands.

[ClevelandOrangeDawgs]

LONG LIVE GM!!!! your all crying over this why arent you crying over money being spent that isnt creating american jobs like the billions we spend in pakistan, irsrael, the wars, the military budget, etc. you think this is alot of money, go look at those numbers at what we spend ANNUALLY on a bunch of crap that doesnt even help americans.

[ts0yep]

to hell with goverment motors and that junk slowmaro.

[MrEastRyder]

Ironically I just bought a Chevy Camaro SS, not BAD! But GM better pay back those tarp LOANs! FUCKERS!!!!. BTW the Chevy runs great!

[Janusha]

@MrEastRyder

You do realise the Chevvy Camaro SS is just a re-worked Australian Holden with a Corvette engine right ? With fake carbon (actually plastic) airintakes. Its GM for you.. Nothing has changed.

[DrWeird74]

This goes to show how misled the rest of our country is & how the believe the bailouts are helping for all these companies. Working for GM/OnStar(I work contract) I get paid very weakly(I make about 12.50 an hr & have been their for 5yrs I started out making 10.50). I loved how the distributed that money to all the executives & over paid desk jockeys(aka engineers & etc). Then they bring out the Volt which costs 41k. GM needs to be exposed & they should have let the company die & fade away.

[Janusha]

@DrWeird74

The Volt has yet to sell many cars. They also blew 40 million of taxpayers money on advertising it last January I believe. Its been widely talked about as a hoax after it turns out it gives a tenth of the mileage they originally posted. Its entire gimmic was to have the wheels driven by electric engine alone. instead they fitted a gas engine that drives the battery.... that drives the wheels. So just another hybrid then. With a twist. Big deal.

GM LIES, BLAMES, AND CHEATS! DEATH TO GOVERNMENT MOTORS

[schoepeo1]

These GM commercials are aggravating. Take our taxes and give them to a business that failed. Bullshit. Screw you GM for trying to make us feel good about it. I hope you fail again and again.

[area51johnp]

A LIE, THEY USED GOVT. TARP FUNDS TO REPAY LOANS!

[helpAmerica1]

One specific Commercial for Canadians one specific commercial for Americans. Really Dumb commercial

[KhmerD0g]

GM used taxpayers' monies (from TARP) to pay off it loan. fucking bitch. GM #FAIL

[mikeboosh]

Here's a misleading advertisement paid by your taxdollars for a company run by a government appointed CEO, staffed with union workers with juicy contracts. All to sell you a car you don't want and don't need, unless the government tells you you need it. Isn't socialism great!

[Quy4life]

few weeks i read how GM was paying back its loan. I was surprised that they could do it that fast and i was happy for them. Now i know why. Is the government that easy to exploit? Willing to settle for such sucker method?

[dan0601]

ceo=liar

just search " How The Hell Did GM Pay Back Its Loans "in Full And Ahead of Schedule"? Well, It Didn't ".

[srsmedia1]

what next ? the 2011 covair!!

[jdrizzo21]

did we somehow forget that ed took home about 21m from that loan in just bonuses? i think not. america has quickly become the scum of the world with this too big to fail bullshit goin on? wut ever happened to the mom and pop places.... oh yeah thats right corporate america destroyed those dreams.... damn. if its a company, it shouldnt have govt involved. shame on gm and shame on us ppl for believing and being so ignorant to blatent lies.

[ExquisiteDoom]

Paying back a credit card with another is not my idea of paying back a loan. You should be sued, but wait, we can't. the government backs your ass up. Can't people just ignore government and stop buying these cock sucking products? Capitalism works when people aren't fucking stupid.

[luigi2413]

unfortunately, this 60 second ad will change the minds of most dumbass americans, and they'll go out and buy a gm car tomorrow.

[planetcaravan666]

I laugh so hard every time I see this... such complete bullshit

[tracyalita]

sleazy dirtbag liar stfu

[uberster]

this dude think we are idiot, he play us for a fool....where is our money scum bags.

[Kroban3]

If I buy a new car or truck it'll be a ford.

[funwitJimmy]

Full O CRAP, paid it back with their escrow account money given to them by the Gov.

Pay off a loan with bailout money. Jackass with a G...

[jjrglobal]

This was a huge mistake by GM. You dont go out and lie to the American people like they're idiots that will believe anything

[pef286]

Ed, You LIE!!! I can not respect you!!!!!!!!! I should be a diehard loyal GM person, I've owned a Corvair convertible 26 years.

[pranavb99]

Short youtube video explains Ed's lie. watch?v=SOaS2SymjQ4

[WAMill3R]

Actually, it's worse than that. A lot of that money came from selling stock to the government at a higher rate than would have been possible on the market, which means taxpayers are porbably never going to see it again.

[mikez565]

im sorry but this place is doomed to fail again if they dont cut down those insane union benefits and wages....there is no way in hell they can survive paying these people high wages like they used to.

[ITRIEDEL]

what the fuck is wrong with people... I have 3 MUSTANGS...however GM is an AMERICAN COMPANY and everyones bitching because AMERICA helped an AMERICAN COMPANY.... why dont we feed our economy on a silver platter to CHINA, so they own our economy, so when they decide to change prices, they can...and we cant do shit but buy 50k cars... Save America Buy American Products.

[Shadoglare]

@ITRIEDEL Do you know how many AMERICAN COMPANIES fail every single year, due to many of the same issues that GM has had? Would you propose that they taxpayers shell out the money to give them cash to help them out as well? If GM can't figure out how to adjust their business model in a way that allows them to actually make money, they need to go under, just like so many other car companies have over the decades, and another company with better vision will step in. It's the way business works.

[jmsazboy]

@ITRIEDEL If they didn't ship jobs oversees I may have some sympathy, but to go on TV and flat out LIE to give an impression that they have fullfilled their obligation to tax payers is horse shit.

The only American company's now are small businesses who create 75% of the jobs...oh btw, they got 1% of the stimulus.

[KhaosCombat]

thery cant beat Ford....Ford's power level is OVER 9000!!!!!!!!!

[devster65]

horse shit...cowboy

[jbz1965]

Never bought a ford b4....always chrysler or gm. Last month we bought a ford.

[leestauf]

YOU LIE!!!

GM belongs to obama now. Did you expect anything but lies?

[israelandersonvideo]

Liars.

[catobear1704]

FAIL.

[ACORNCriminals]

THIS IS AN ABSOLUTE LIE. They used $6 Billion dollars in tax payer money from a $13 Billion dollar escrow account to "pay the loan off early." The US tax payers are out over $50 BILLION dollars on this horrible transaction. By the way these thieves are also trying to get another low interest "loan" for another $10 Billion dollars so that they can retool their plants.

[secularstupidest]

Buy your next car from a lying, loser car company on Gov. welfare. And by the way, one whose owners attack their competitors with the bullying power of Government! This willl help America!

[banyon]

That guys is some kind of robot.

[DaniOcean]

GM payed their loan with money they'v got from the bailout. Do they think we are idiots?

GM = Government Motors = Epic Fail

[Megabyxos]

@malibuss 19- you are inarticulate and non-sensical even by Youtube comment standards

[malibuss19]

Let me tell all yell a little something when I seen this commerical i was thinking is GM lying about paying back their loan if they are lying so fucking what all of those auto maker ly about shit like TOYOTA ben a liar for 10 year's about that shit they make that's call a car and FORD is junk too I have had them they are shit and don't be talking about GM they 1 of the best auto maker in this world alot of yell getting mad because GM have sum nice looking cars comeing out.

[ENCOMAN]

@malibuss19 Hey if you don't mind seeing how your tax money gets ripped off on TV that's cool.

[sedatedlife18]

@malibuss19 So lets get this straight really quick. You care deeply that car manufacturers are lying to people about the quality of their vehicles, but you can overlook mass theft and fraudulent business practices as long as they make half decent cars. Right well that makes sense I guess...

[leestauf]

@malibuss19

Moron

[queenambeach]

What a liar!!! Nice try buddy........paying off gov't loans with TARP money that was placed in an escrow account..................I don't know what is more, the fact that he has to gull to lie so blatantly with a straight face, or that he thought we'd be stupid even to believe this verbal bowel movement.

[EndTheFedRes]

GM is a JOKE!!!

[ohiovr]

In a fascist takeover the first thing to die is the truth.

[alliecat148]

does anyone know the name of this song? it may just be one they recorded for the commercial.

anyone know?

[enfurno]

Here is the problem, these guys with all of the money seem too believe that the rest of us are morons. We have higher priorities other than stealing as much money from as many people as possible. Some of us still care about our family and neighbors. Shame on GM, I hope that this company folds within the year, lying scum bags.

[Tinker1Stinks]

How can this guy lie so blatantly? Something is wrong, does anybody pay attention?

[roadofthegypsy]

they didn't pay back the loan, they took money from one bail-out fund, and transferred it to another bail-out fund. it was just a giant shell-game.

[JViello]

This guy must have been put in place by the Obama admin with that kind of spin. You pissed me off with the bailouts, now you insult my intelligence by trying to make me into a "hater who didn't want GM to have a second chance". I was against the bailout idiot, not GM surviving. You should have gone into bankruptcy like every other company and reoganized. Losers. I'm a Ford man now and have a brand new Powerstroke to show for it.

[shawnsherman66]

this is why i drive a ford.

gm is a dying horse that the goverment keeps giving cpr to so they can make crapy cars and the presidental limo. and the only reson that ford still does isn't build the presidental limo is kenndey got killed in one. yeah gm has have some gains in the past few months but so has every other car company not for japan. ford is still and always will be better and brighter than gm.

[Zinizzle]

@shawnsherman66 exactly let them fail they are nothing but lying poor managing assholes then they want the US taxpayers to pay for there mistakes, all they did was borrow from peter to pay paul within GM, Thank you ''FORD'' for knowing how to run a company and making profitable growth in the US. now hopefully the reliability scores will be excellent on the vehicles.

[msqueenyep]

give me a back my car repo man!!!

[mrredhatter]

LOL
