Chevy Transvestite, What an ugly crappy POS !

This welfare buggy would rot out in a couple of years just like the other Liquidation Motors garbage.

patient451 you must not be American, and if you are, thanks for stimulating our economy.....not!!!! Soon enough the American car industry will be on top again. And the american worker will be employeed...Obama and beyond!!

I am very much an American, regardless of what I think about the US automaker industry. I will not buy a product simply because I'm told it's patriotic to do so. When I bought my latest car a few years back, GM was on the brink of failure with poor build quality, bad public perception and misguided marketing being their shortcomings. I bought a Honda. Do I wish the domestic industry would revive itself? Absolutely, it would mean more jobs for Americans. But GM and Ford need to start paying

[patient451]

more attention to consumer desires and competition in the global marketplace. We're not in the 1950s anymore, you can't sell a car simply because it's American made. I am all for anything American, because I am American and I love this country but I'm also not a blindly loyal idiot.

gm and ford are doing great.

[patient451]

Chevy cars are still ugly, and are still second best behind Europe.

you must be a mental patient, double digit IQ

[patient451]

Because I think GM, Ford and Chrysler have been setting themselves up for failure since the 1970s? When other global auto manufacturers were noticing market trends and following them and the Big Three kept insisting that Americans needed gas guzzling tanks of vehicles because they were made in America?

Look up how the Big Three ignored what foreign carmakers did to gain success domestically over the last 30 years and then look at the financial failure they are now. Who's got the low IQ?

@patient451 I'm not from the U.S. nor am I "supporting" any other particular car-brand. I only wanted to say it's just nice to find someone who can actually look at things from a more objective perspective, not basing himself (herself¿) on a so, sometimes, manipulative patriotic feeling. Thank you.

[patient451]

Himself, and thank you as well. A little rationality is what the world needs sometimes.

American cars are just as competitive on MPG as any other countries autos

[patient451]

If we're talking city mileage, no, they're not. According to studies done by multiple independent parties, European cars average somewhere between 35 and 45 MPG city - non hybrid. Even the best hybrid American car barely hits 30 city. Highway is different, because Europeans don't spend a lot of time on them whereas Americans do.

But it's not just fuel economy. European/Japanese autos have been lightyears ahead of domestics for 2 decades in terms of all around performance and quality.

Lol hell no
