Seriously, will someone post comments related to Car & Driver Praises Chevy Equinox. Somehow this thread became an area for general GM discontent.
Funny, but I thought I did post specifically regarding the Equinox and my dissatisfaction with the Chicom motor and Jap trans. Are comments only welcome if they heap praise on GM and the Equinox? Oh well, can't please everyone.....

dude, get a grip. Its not the 1940's anymore. After all that asian soursing...money still comes back to GM. Dont get all fussy about what is built where. The baddest engine GM has right now, the LS6 is made in Mexico. The nicest sports coupe GM has right now is made in Australia. This is just GM flexing its international muscle. Why do people look negitivly on GM on almost every aspect? When Toyota started making cars here, people praised them and thought that it was a great idea that Toyota bring some of there manufacturing here to the US. But when GM goes to other countries, it is some how bad? Face it, GM cannot and will not be confined to the boarders of the US. Get over it. Chassis are being designed in other countries, power plants are being built in other places, designs are being crafting in another. Everyone gets all pissy about this chineese motor, but over what? Because why? Because its not "Made in America"? Please. I will continue to buy GM. To be nieve and keep everything here in the US is just selling GM short. GM is flexing international muscle. They are taking parts made from all around the world, and building them here in the US for a quality product. I dont see how this is bad. Just another double standard for GM. Its ok when others do it, but when GM does it, shame on them. GM should be praised for what they are doing. [/b][/quote]
#1. I've got a "grip"
#2. I will not "get over it". I will simply go elsewhere to spend my money or buy older vehicles and fix them up instead of making the Chinese rich.
#3. Back to your regularly scheduled Equinox thread.
By the way, thanks for the tip on the LS6 motor. I wasn't aware that America's sportscar had a Mexican heart.
I won't comment further on this thread so that it will stay on the topic of Chevy's newest ******* child from the Orient.
