good for gm. keep it up. it just sucks that theyre not gaining anything from the other big 2- all the ford and chrysler guys are going import. theyre associating gm with the crappiness they exerience with ford and chrysler. all america is bad mentality is killing gm.

They produce small fuel efficient and quality cars that keep their value. Detroit failed to do that. They went for big profit in suvs and trucks and now they are paying for it. This is what happens when you have idiots in control of a company

the cobalt matches corolla's mpg. both get 35. the new focus also gets 35. civic gets 36. im pretty sure thats competitive, 1 mpg seperates them?
theres nothing gm can do yet about resale value- thats all perception. until the word spreads on the new stuff, that wont change. the new silverado is already projected to have the highest resale value among competitors. that wont change overnight.
i think gm is doing good to hold 22% when three companies combined own 55.
you cant blame gm for investing in its trucks, they do sell over a million a year. you have to keep whats good good, otherwise then what? you have nothing.
so youre saying they shouldve ditched theyre money makers and made cars that people wont buy? perception is a huge thing that needs to be conquered- and that doesnt happen in one model year, that takes awhile.
