But simply the best vehicle for his uses is gm. Period.
I have owned myself a toyota, two hondas, a dodge, and a gm yukon now. So my experience with vehicles i would say isnt limited. Sorry bro, but you lose.
The reviews from Consumer Reports do say that the gm didnt fair as well as some other manufacturers. Sure. But then again, when you buy hardware for your computer, do you only read one review? If so, good job buddy.
If you buy a vehicle for gas mileage, you have no business buying a vehicle the size of a bus. Period.
The retard still lies in your pockets. Because in all actuality, you know nothing about gm. Nor do you know anything about their vehicles. Also, did you know the engine in the ws6 transam is the one in my yukon?
Learn your products boy.... before you get in too deep in a vehicle discussion about gm with me bud. I know my sh1t.
Im just so sick of hearing all you close minded individuals bagging on a company that has done well for our economy. Sure, we have ups and downs. But they arent enron. You can take that one to the bank. GM has their hands in more stuff than you know of. Believe me, without them, there would be alot of products you wouldnt have.
Bottom line. I would buy certain gm vehicles. There are some i wouldnt buy. Simply because of the motors they put in some of them and also because of my size and my families size.

I don't think so! BMW, Mercs, Jags and Lexus are luxury vehicles in most of Europe. A Ford is the common man's car. Most Euro's would agree they're pretty crap.

I've no problem buying GM stuff. Never bought one but I think they make excellent trucks and vans and decent cars. I like the Suburban, Yukon/Tahoe, and Silverado models. Their cargo vans are nice too. I'm very close to pulling the trigger on some GM stock. I would like to see double bottom before I buy but I don't know if I can wait that long. Maybe a labor dispute will get me that. One thing for sure, I love all the negativity surrounding GM at the moment. Just makes the stock more attactive in my eyes.

well, you could probably shoot a hole in the whole luxury thing about ford. a friend of mine from england ( a bit heavy on the booze sometimes) told me that. i just happened to believe it because it was of course, the only resource i have from over there. so, yea, i shouldnt have said that one. haha

the reviews are bad, because the cars they are reviewing are bad. what more is there to say?

and by the way, the yukon is a POS. sorry, it just is. even the escalade is a POS. yes, i have driven more than one of them.

No more GM for me. I've had plenty and all of them have been a POS. I've had better luck with Dodge and Ford. I'd probably buy a Honda or Toyota before GM now.

Hey, whether or not you believe it... is up to you. As i said before, i meant no harm by generalizing. Its the truth. You guys are right, you dont have to be japanese to buy japanese cars. Either way, you are (on average) not the same size as most americans. Whether that be fat, or skinny. That being said, full sized vehicles make sense to us where smaller sized vehicles fit best for you. I have had japanese cars, and while they were the most dependable vehicles i have ever owned, i still prefer a full sized vehicle because im just a big guy. You cant eve shoehorn my big ass in a mustang.
As i said, sorry about the generalization, but if you read reports, you will find that it is true. Sorry to break the news to you.

show me one of those "true" reports, or are they a figment of your imagination?
