GMs "new" cars

[Suze]

Is anybody actually impressed with this new line-up?


New GM's new cars - Performance car No. 1: Chevrolet Camaro (1) - CNNMoney.com


No compacts or sub-comps.
Nothing with good fuel economy
Nothing under $22 grand.
In fact nothing here we haven't seen before!


Is this really what the American car buying public is expecting for our tax investment?

And just wait until gas is $4; it's coming

Any idea how long a new concept takes to make its way in to the showroom at the local dealership?

It should NOT be any longer than it took them to convert from making cars to tanks and other things for the war effort back then....wouldn't ya think?

They need to quit the screwing around and just do it...if they can, that is.

Perfectly designed to CLUNKER specs!

When is our next shareholder meeting?

The CARS.gov specs are designed so vehicles like the Camero which get 22mpg or better combined are still eligible to be on the buying end of the C4C program.

under what nameplate is the Solstice going to sold

And does anybody know what small car GM is building in the plant in MI it just chose over Spring Hill TN and Janesville WI?

Seems a bit odd that all of us who lined up to buy a French built German designed world sourced car are dissing GM.

[John_H]

Why the comment, Godfather? I bought a Smart because there's nothing close to it manufactered in the US. I would really love to see US manufacturing survive. I'd also really love to see the US companies produce something I'd like to purchase with respect to quality and economy.

Some of us want to see improvement more quickly than others but I think we all want to see improvement, particularly with the US investment.

Not at all. It seems perfectly natural to me.

I'm ashamed that I can't be proud of American made cars. I truly wish we were leaders in this industry. But we are far from it. Criticizing US car makers is a very good way of sending the message that we want change. The other good method is just not buying sub-standard products. Maybe someday they'll hear us.
