General Motors struggling amid US economic woes - 26 Sep 0

I Love Pontiac and GM.

Support your Economy by buying American/Canadian

[07350zhr]

if you dont like gm cars dont buy one,im glad i didnt

[stitrohccs]

what does buying american mean? dodge builds trucks in mexico gm builds in canada toyota trucks come from baja california .american cars may have good fit and finish( except when the paint peels) but where they are lacking , is in longevity and ease of repairability. how about greasable moving parts. oil filters that can be removed without pouring oil down the side of the block?. electric windows that work. data trouble code accessability that owners can retreive.

GM has been selling Toyotas the last 20 years

up to today

and most people don't even know it !

[ponster888]

"Unfair competition". What the hell is that?

Union president Jim Graham (smartest american): ...."our federal government has been letting them run amuck basically in our country..." I am proud to be an american because we are really really smart, just like this guy. We have our heads in the sand with our asses sticking up, so that the whole can fuck us.

[Giardintek]

Is he on cheap crack or WTF?! "Asian Auto Makers? He has not seen competition yet. Asian auto makers are their only competition, except for BMW, Benz & WW, How about Fiat, Alfa Romeo, Seat, Renault, Peugeot, Skoda, Citroen, Lancia, Rover and many more Auto makers that are not allowed to market or sell in North America?!

[NikolaiAK]

Would be funny to see Toyota Suburban, Nissan Cherokee and Honda Expedition :)

[tamainemiller]

if you dont like american products go live in japan.....

[emforty2]

i just bought a chevy aveo but its made in Korea

[furgedaboudit]

Simple: 1. Kick the foreign car makers out entirely, 2. Get rid of all the robots, 3. Quit making so many models, 3. Make affordable automobiles with normal gas milage, and 4. most important... fuck the green movement and bring normality back into automobiles.

[banga1286]

GM isn't going anywhere...all the have to do is downsize the company...and install the new tools for better environment sufficent cars. The people that are laid off cuz of the downsizing retire them early. Yes it will a problem for a while with money...but it should pick back of it matter of no time.

[818sexyboy]

sure you don't need walfre. don't u guys remember when gm was goin bankrupt they were like screemin from every newspaper and tv to help us? and now once u got it u say u don't need it? wtf???

[IcantBeleieveIT]

People - Union Nazis and lazy Americans are a big part of the failure of the Big 3. When Unions push to pay $30 an hour, full benefits, a pension plan, and paid vacation for INSTALLING TIRES that spells disaster. Solution: Build everything in Mexico close all USA auto plants, say F-you to Unions. It will cut assembly costs by 60%. LIVE BETTER DONT WORK UNION, instead get an education. All you Union workers did this to yourselves. Dont try to blame it on anyone else.

and if you dont like american products go live in japan. screw this anti american bullshit.

1991 cavalier 2.2L original engine and trans 140K miles runs great 25-30 mpg

1989 camaro RS 305 171K, posi swap, t tops, handles and runs great 17-24 MPG when driven sanely.

1998 cavalier, excellent car original engine and trans 103K 23-27

remember that GM makes more than just hummers. look at the new malibu. what a fantasic car.

[DHK59]

hey did u kno dat toyota had a toyota caliver but ur rite GM does make good cars

[ad356]

you GM haters need to go to hell!!! kxnipt, youre an asshole. the cimarron, common ended production in 1988?? it wasnt even that bad of a car, the only reason it didnt sell well was becuase it didnt fit the caddy large luxury car mold. the vega??? yeah it was junk but production ended in 1977??? forget about, you cant complain about a product that ENDED production over 30 years ago. i personally own 3 older chevrolet vehicles they are great.i have a 91, 89 and a 98.

[silver1990chevy]

Unbelievable!!!! You have got to be the sorriest bunch of a-holes that one could come by. You stupid anti-Americans are the reason that the economy is where it is today. I really hope you all end up going through what the employees of GM,Ford, and Chrysler are going through. That is when I want you to repeat the comments that you all have made on the company that you work for. Don't cry when you are without food or shelter. I wish the worst upon you all!!!!!!

[BoydSchidt1]

Hell Yeah!!! Buy American!!!

[kxnipt]

GM is going out of business for one reason. They have built garbage for decades: Cimarron, Vega, Catera, Chevette... Build cars and trucks like an Accord, Camry, Tacoma and people will buy them. Goodbye GM.

[DHK59]

LMAo u do realize dat Toyota and Gm always work togeather and that toyota tried to obtain a 4.3 vortec v6 for there earlyer tacomas and also half the cars toyota makes are gm counter parts u ignorent Person

[jvrsy86]

i hope GM dies and toyota or hyundai buys it. that would be the sheeeeet!!!

they have soooo many shiity cars. check out ma buick. it's the sheeet. ma hummer that gets 10MPG. fuel efficiency of the 1920''s

[silver1990chevy]

IDIOT!!!!!!!

[DHK59]

toyota has more gas gullers then GM does and gm n Toyota are friends

[AAorgCourtCard]

i hope no bail out for loser gm, too bad losers

[emforty2]

if gas is $2 today GM would still be selling HUMMERS

its their fault they blame the workers or workers benefits or blame the Japanese

its ur DUMB products is whats wrong don't blame the workers to Japan

[scotplaya]

Hummer was one of GM's hugest mistake.

[shegax03]

I bet they are shooting themselves in the foot for discontinuing the EV1. This is a bailout period. They got greedy, ignored the selling trends in cars for the longest time. Because of their refusal to get into hybrid, cars (and killing their own line of EV1s in 1999) they slid and slid and slid. Suddenly they change at the last minute....please please give us money, we promise well make your non gass suzzling vehicles! Sorry man, they've had alot of time to change.

[artc27]

Milk the foreign companies off their money and revitalize our local U.S. companies.

[paddleman256]

Nothing will beat toyota they make the best vehicles, although honda is catchin up

[Type59]

Toyota and other makers judged the market accurately. Whera GM and American did not foresee the end of cheap oil. If they survive they better not start thinking short term.

[jerkinp]

There is one person you can thank for all these economic woes President Bush. He spent so much tax payers money and was more concentrated about the events outside the U.S. There are U.S. presidents that most people would not remember because nothing happened during their rein and famous ones. But Bush has joined the category of the infamous. This what you get for electing a C+ student.

[ubuibiok]

Bull...they fought the increase of fuel efficiency standards for years...

Go get the money back from GM lobbyist that they hired and payed to fight the Government laws to make there products more competitive with the importers.

If you follow there logic we all would be driving Model T's and denied the rights to buy Valvo's.

[shegax03]

And the killing of the EV1

[MJoubes]

Places like this town will be the first to feel the crunch of the economy.
