The new Malibu seems to be a long-awaited reward for mid-size front drive family car fans. Cadillac has rewarded fans with the CTS. There are lots of vehicles rewarding the fans out there. Does it reward all? NO. It's obvious you feel slighted and there must be a vehicle you desire that they don't have. Please don't issue blanket statements that say GM has abandoned their owners. They haven't. Out of curiosity, what do you own and drive?
Guess I'll try to find the time to watch. You'll excuse me if I find it hard to put much creedence though in a news network thinking it can run a car company. Maybe it will make some points though. Thanks for the heads-up.  |
The G8 is a niche car at best. Most people prefer FWD or AWD in the midwest. Camaro?? brother can you spare $40,000?? Trucks?? The truck market is over as we know it!! Trucks will be for contractors and delivery service. I'm talking about GM being competitive in a $5.00 gallon market!!
I'm talking about the cars people really buy!!! I'm talking about the cars that stole the market from GM!! Like Honda!! Toyota!!! Lexus!!! You think Toyota and Lexus buyers are ever coming back to Buick and Cadillac? Do you really see the Honda Civic buyer considering a Cobalt. Will a person who has owned four Honda Accords in a row even think about a Malibu?
GTO?? I had one!! That car was a complete failure and money loser for GM. You can make fun of the Mustang all you want, but at least Ford makes money on that car and you can still buy it. If the GTO was such a great car, why is it gone? Car companies don't stop building cars people want.
