Just another marketing ploy. Hoping to boost their stocks up a little bit to make a few extra dollars. If they REALLY wanted to change, they wouldn't write out an apology, they would just start making good fvcking cars for a change.

Back in college, I had 4 super hot girls in my GM car. We were heaeded to the beach, and I was pretty excited. Suddenly, my car broke down in the middle of no where. We had to push it for a mile, wait hours for a wrecker, etc.. . I'd like to kick Roger Smith in the nuts.

If it was a Cavalier, those "hot girls" probably used to be men.

*Waits for the import fanboy morons to show up*

Anyway, The simplest thing they can do to make me happy is give me a HSV GTS Coupe. Directly import it from Australia, right hand drive is cool with me. :D

The girls had BMW 320i's but hell, I drove.
My car was a Buick Century.
The girls looked so good. You know in their bikini tops, with T-Shirt over it and those plastic shorts on.
I swear I will kick Roger Smith in the nuts if I see him.

GM exteriors and interiors (cloths, leathers, plastics) all look like $hit = I don't care how well engineered they are.

Audi is a case in point ;)

i guess ford's model-T was the first SUV, 15+ ft long and 10MPG, of course a century later, ford has improved their SUV's mpg all the way to 12.6mpg. YEAH!!
next century 15MPG OR BUST!!

Actually, one would have either had an inordinately bad experience with a GM vehicle for which they are holding some kind of grudge against GM, or just derives some vain feeling of sophistication from hating domestic vehicles, to deny the quality/reliability gap between Japanese or European cars and American companies has been fastly narrowing over the last decade.

I also find it particularly amusing when domestic-haters pit American models against foreign models costing several thousand dollars more. I've heard dozens and dozens of references to BMW, Audi, Lexus, Infinity, and Mercedes over the years.

Comparing a $40,000 Audi or BMW to a $25,000 Pontiac is quite absurd.

agreed. then again, they sucked twenty years ago, and they still suck now, and they'll probably suck in the future. the only way way to do it right is to fire all the retards on the top and hire people who will scare word QUALITY into the shiznits of the unions and workers.

If they are really confident about their cars, why don't they offer the 7-year warrenties like Dodge is?

Dodge did it because their drivetrains sucked so bad and it was hurting business! Read the fine print. You have to pay a freaking deductible on the thing. Pfffffft!
