That's exactly right Bart, people like to bitch and yet they most likely have a import in there immediate family. If you don't buy from the big three how will they survive. I know there is alot of BS that goes on in these companies, and i'm sure there is at the import companies as well,but the bottom line is if you don't buy the import throw away cars and buy american they might make it!

if we intend to help this country it's time to start bringing all the work back inside our borders. this outsourcing of every thing is killing us. it's time to realize that all of us can't or won't be able to live in the big house on the hill. a little of some pay is better than no pay at all.

I'm surprised that GM would stop making Cobalt and HHR SS's. Seems like there would still be a market for these with the turbocharged Ecotec LNF engine. Seems like you could still get 30+ mpg on the freeway if you drove like a sane person and still have 260+ HP on tap for when the opportunity to have a little fun allowed. Like they said, they still need to build interesting vehicles!!???

Funny, the guy who was so down on GM, his car number is 666? Spawn of the devil maybe? :P LOL
