Zip CEO Scott Griffith Reveals There's a Reason GM Went Bankrupt

http://autogreenmag.com/2009/06/03/video-scott-griffith-zipcar-ceo-we-have-ne...

Scott Griffith, CEO of Zipcar: We have never bought a GM or Chrysler product. What we do is we survey our members, we ask them what kind of car do they want to drive. And when we hear back what they want to drive, if we dont have it, we consider it and look at it. We have never had a request for a GM product. Thats unfortunate, but thats the way it is. Out of 300,000 users that we survey every six months, I have never had a request.

Gm cars are crap. I owned several and every other week i had to fix something. Not only that, when i had a problem with the new cars,i had to fight with the dealers to get them to honor the warranty. i have owned toyotas since 1986. No problems with warranty, No trips to the repair shop every week. Toyota CORRALLA 166,000 MILES AND I GAVE IT TO MY SON. TOYOTA TACOMA PICKUP TRUCK 230,000 MILES AND GAVE TO MY SON. i WOULD LOVE TO BUY AMERICAN, BUT I WONT. ITS NOT THE AUTO WORKERS FAULT, ITS MGM.

There isnt ONE desirable GM vehicle on the market at the moment. The entire american car industry have been pushing their pigiron dinosaurs for eons. Building 10-15 models over decades all using the same base model while europe and Japan made progress. GM sold Pushrods, leafsprings and low tech.cars by linking them to the american dream! Then made them cheap quality so people would soon buy another. Terms like high mileage, hothatches and compact cars were unheard of in USA until recently.

GM does not put pride in their cars, they simply make cars for profit, therefore they make junk. Us Europeans put our pride into both engineering and manufacturing cars. I guess the difference shows, European Socialism > American Capitalism.

I live in a very rural area but I travel a lot.

In my rural area, nearly all the cars are domestic.

In the city, it is the opposite. Almost all the cars I see on the road are "imports".

Given that zip is focused mostly in urban area and most people rent inexpensive cars with good mileage, I believe his numbers are probably correct.

sorry, i didn't realize saying the f word 3 times in a joking manner was extreme. my bad dude. :)

i don't trust anything michael moore does anymore. ever since i found out 9/11 was an inside job and his film fareinheit 9/11 helped cover it up by making our government look like bumbling idiots and not the perpetrators.
