GM has more cars that get over 30 MPG, and more Hybrids than Toyota or Honda. What a crock. I love my new Corvette FWIW

GM was simply the biggest because they had the most out there under Chevrolet, GMC, Buick, Pontiac, Saturn, Cadillac, Hummer, Saab, and Oldsmobile. How many freaking models in their lines that overlap one another? When consumers perceive your product to be a bad value, they won't buy from you. The Big Three are a shining example of how they like to live like fat cats when things are great, but they sure don't want to make sacrifices when times are bad.

If you want a Vette, buy it. GM isn't going away, even if they go bankrupt. The govt. has already said they will back the warranty.

Maybe not buy the Corvette but instead stick a third of that money into GM, Citi and some other "value" stocks?

I like my cars with as close to 10 lbs/HP as my money can buy. It must be comfortable and reliable, too. It must also be good on mountain roads. I'm looking at the Audi A6T Quatro, too. There was also some Infinity model. If taxes (my biggest expense) keep going up more than my pay I will just keep my present car running until I can't get parts for it any more. If I won the lottery (you have to play to win) I would buy a Vette before I would get a Ferrari or a Lambo.

Right on.. If you really want a vette bad,,log on to corvette forum.com and look for C6 for sale..There are people wanting to bail on the payments and you can get a cherry ZO6 or regular C6 for a great price.

I know and watching the news last night its said how misinformed people are on the issue. Unfortunately its not limited to one age group. Its every where. This also goes to reliability. JDpowers recent reports on reliability also shows many US manufactures are producing very high quality product. Unfortunately the 80s and erly 90s they took a deagle and shot themselves in the head 2x.

As to hybrids I still laugh at the buyers. My childhood friend works for toyota and discussed just how non eco friendly these cars are. The amount of wiring used the amount of energy to produce and the batteries. These cars are no where near as eco friendly as people think they are. A corolla is more eco friendly than a prius when all factors are included. Why do you think VW green diesel is viewed by many as the greenest vehicle available.

OOO and I buy and drive Ford Trucks. My F250 has been the greatest truck I have owned hands down. Having owned Chevy, Dodge, Toyota. Ford is built the best.

My S10 SS will beat up your F250.

If not, why even talk about it. It's just the same as those news reporters who print first and ask questions later.

I work for a supplier for at least another month, do I get to talk about it?
