I just want to hear from GM that they finally clearly get that people want Fuel Efficient Vehicles. That everyone does not want to drive a Pick-up/Tahoe etc. That hi tech 4 cylinders with Direct Injection and Turbos are the way to go over "high value" engines which are not competetive and ruin GM's image.

PLEASE DEAR LORD, COULD THEY JUST SAY IT ONCE???? Oh, and if they say it could they actually mean it and not use it as a P.R. stunt? Oh, and if they build it, could they actually try and sell it and not just "steer" us to stuff we don't want?

Dear GM,

We are ready for smaller engines and smaller vehicles.

Totally Serious.
