yup that is good 
that is good too!
Toyota's synergy drive is proven and has been in the marketplace for almost 10 years. VOLT isn't even out yet or been tested fully (hell the batteries aren't even finalized yet). We'll see if this holds up when the cars start to show a little age.
I hope so for their sake
details to back this up?
Great feature, but what good is this when you can't get e85 in your town?
remains to be seen if that goes anywhere
yeah but they gave those cars away...72 month financing?
good news
again great news
pathetic, but true... especially in China
hum... there are still PLENTY of stinkers in the lineup but Welburn and Lutz seem to finally push for design again.
true, but this is different... gas prices are not something they can adjust for quick enough and gas prices probably aren't going to go back down.
This I totally agree with, they definitely have had their growing pains! |
Your critique of my post is even handed and well thought out. General Motors is finally making significant progress, but can not rest. General Motors needs to keeping improving at an increasing rate.
The improved labor contract was a major accomplishment that must have taken a lot of skill to negociate. Caterpillar had to take a very long, bitter strike with the UAW to obtain the concessions necessary for Caterpillar to be competitive. Without a competitive cost structure, General Motors was doomed. General Motors' new labor agreement should give them cost parity with the transplants. If General Motors keeps improving in all the other areas I mentioned in my post, they have the potential to turn themselves around and thrive.
