GM Cars...? What is the best valued car that GM makes? (Based on MPG/Cost)
How come prices not dropping significantly for chrysler and GM cars even though they both filed bankruptcy? many chrysler, GM cars still $25000+ even after filing bankruptcy. Are they serious? Wouldn't a person be better off in buying a toyota, honda or nissan for that kind of price? if they really want to sell they should drop the price to $10,000 or below.
Is there any other GM cars that use the same platform as the current Corvette? Is there any other GM cars that use the same platform as the current Corvette? Most GM cars now are front-wheel-drive so I wasn't sure.
Buying a new GM car, good time or bad time, will the bail out force them to make better cars? Thinking about this: GM's back is to the wall, they either have to make better cars that the public want or they go outta business. Is GM going to care about the American Consumer, or are they still going to screw us by making low quality junk?
Why should Americans buy GM cars and trucks instead of Japanese brands? I want to help Gm but in the recent past, they have left their customers hanging. I mean with things like the problems with the sort of plastic/composite intake manifolds and that special antifreeze that is said to eat through it. Consumers had to get a class action lawsuit going to get compensation. How do I know defect wont continue to show up in the next GM car or truck I buy? Ford for me is definately out of the question due to that sh*tty Ford Escort, Pinto and the Taurus.
Why does Hannity tell people to buy GM (Government Motors) cars and then tells us to reject gov't health care? Hannity says "why trust a government that bankrupted the social security system and runs the post office poorly" and then he then says "Buy great GM cars". GM is owned by the same government that runs social security and the post office. Why trust them to build great cars?
What does everyone think of GM forcing employees to park non-GM cars in a separate lot? The separate lot is as far from the building as possible. The company claims that this is to prevent passers-by from seeing non GM vehicles in the GM lot, however the lot is right by the road that runs in front of the plant! GM vehicles assembled in foreign countries do not have to park in the separate lot. American made cars made by UAW members at Ford and Chrysler must park in the separate lot. This plant does their mowing with a Ford tractor, and hauls their products to and from the plant in Volvo semis.
Will the cars GM produces in the future be completely boring? As a car enthusiast, it saddens me to think in the future we could all be driving the equivilent of the Toyota Prius, Honda Accord, and Malibu...Seriously I love the Cadillac CTS-V! But I feel they will drop cars like that, and most of GM's cars will be glorified mini-vans, and puddle-jumpers, which for people like me who love muscle cars, tuners, and anything that looks cool and is exciting to drive. Who out there agrees with me?
I have a GM mirror with the part #. How do I know which model GM cars it is for? I have a car mirror (i think it is drivers side) that I am looking to sell on eBay. The problem is I do not know which model car(s) it is made for. I have the part number (25823069) and it is a genuine GM part. If anyone can tell me how to find out which model car(s) it is for it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
Is it safe to buy GM cars now? Has the government ensured consumers that GM cars' warranties will be backed? No political comments! Wrong section.
Why are some people loyal to GM, even though they have had bad experiences with their GM cars? I am sick and tired of hearing people say that GM is the best, while they are taking their car into the shop once a month to fix another underengineered part. Other than Cadillac, every GM brand has below average reliability and quality. I used to be GM loyal, and then I test drove a Ford on a dare, and I have never turned back. I have had my Ford truck for almost 8 years and have put 150,000 miles and it has been in the shop one time for a mechanical failure. My Thunderbird had over 200K miles on it when I sold it, and it ran like a top. Every Chevy I have owned has been in the shop at least twice a year. I am now only to loyal to cars that don't break down.

Why won't Dems Allow GM to Import Small Cars they Make in Europe but Toyota Can Import from Japan? Is this just a scheme where, if an American wants to buy a GM car, the car has to be made by high paid UAW workers instead of workers in Europe? bostonidio... read CAFE rules written by Dems. My family has a lot of European blood and we like to support the good people of Europe who stood with us through many wars, etc. ... besides many are family.
Did GM make a critical error when scrapping electric cars over 10 years ago? Electric cars did exist over 10 years ago, but GM decided to scrap all of the cars, even though they worked perfectly. It's all in a documentary called "Who killed the electric car?". GM sold the battery technology to an oil company and the electric car was no more. If they would have worked on the battery technology, think of how far we would have gotten into electric cars.
Why would Obama rather buy GM cars from Communists in China or Socialists in Canada? So he'd rather buy GM cars from China or Canada then keep jobs here in America? So much for saving/creating jobs. http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,519974,00.html For the anti-Fox crowd, I tried to find you an liberal source, unfortunately they don't seem too quick to jump on this story.

I am in nj and was wondering if dealer incentive on GM cars are taken off the invoice price before or aftr tax? I am uusing a supplier discount and was given a selling price but taxes were added before the incentive by gm were taken. Does anyone know the rules in NJ? The price I was quoted was after tax. The supplier price plus tax, then minus the cutomer cash back rebate, the leasee rebate and the cutomer loyalty (total of $4750) was all taken after the tax was calculated. So before I go back to the dealer today or tomorrow to finalize my price with the F&I guy I want to make sure that they are wrong. (in NJ)

WHAT OTHER GM cars were similar to the Oldsmobile Omega in the mid 1970's? I recently saw a 197 ??? Oldsmobile Omega for sale here in Belgium. I liked the body lines, and the interior bench front seat, and the dashboard with lots of dangerous knobs and chrome. WAS there ALSO a similar Chevy? Buick? that I can try to buy while I'm in the USA sometime? GENTLEMEN!! I have visited websites to view photos of all these suggestions. And the rear window roofline, with sloping glass is ALL WRONG?? The car in Belgium had a vertical rear window and the Omega emblem on the trunk lid. PS. I am an old American guy, and thought I knew my US cars from the 70's. GENTLEMAN: Searching for MORE Oldsmobile photos, I now think that the car I saw is an OLDS Cutlass 1978-9? The word "cut" in Dutch is a vulgar word, lacking the "n" from the English word!! So maybe in Belgium, the Cutlass received the OMEGA emblem?? DANIEL G: The "Omega" I saw was a 2 door with small back windows (formal?) and an upwardly curved body line behind the door. I don't remember seeing big fat bumpers of plastic. Have checked YOUTUBE for videos or photos, can you give a photo link? of the 2 door?
Will GM cars suddenly find themselves saddled with wide mirrors? As designers desperately try to suck up to their new boss and design features that mirror the features of their new boss' big ears?
Chrysler is settled with Canada & Fiat, Why not GM if offered to China to mop up & do/make China Cars for US? China can easily purchase up GM to be the manufacturing plant for US market and save the whole situation for USA. LandRover & Jaguar of the British can have deal with TATA of India, why not the China deal. Why no offer for taker? China can sell GM cars and US can sell China Cars.....a good exchange.

Why do Libs claim GM & American car companies make cars that nobody wants to buy? Do they ever look around when they drive down the road? American cars are all over the place! Are Libs really that stupid to think that nobody wants to buy these cars? Just because Liberals would rather support foreign car makers it doesn't mean the rest of us find American cars "crap" like they do. The problem is lack of sales because of the economy and lack of lenders. Even Toyota is loosing money now.

Should Congress dictate the type of cars GM, Ford, and Chrysler should make? If Congress dictates the type of cars to build in return for the bailout, and if people don't buy those cars, should Congress continue bailing out the car companies or should it restrict the use of foreign cars within the U.S. borders? As I write this, I remember the Soviet Union's attempt at the same thing. How ironic.
