They are the same sorts of folks you see around here with a Suburban on one side of the driveway, and a Civic on the other....while simultaneously saying things like "I'd never buy one of those crappy small GM cars".

Hi Ming:
You are supposed to be
merciless, but I too share your above-entitled sentiments. Too many of GMI members give GM the
wrong impression of the market, and
don't purchase what they have pushed. How many have asked that the Camaro be re-introduced and now that the factory has given it the greenlight,
will never purchase one?
GM must create smaller more long-range vehicles using State of the Art technology, or the company will come to a grinding halt. I have seen another poster say "I expect Gasoline to return to $60.00 a barrel by next year." These are the same people who should return to High School and get a GED. When you have lived for a while you realize "Prices never come back down, they continue to go up! This is what all the auto manufacturers should have known, if they didn't, they will pay with dwindling market share, or possible insolvency.
