They couldn't turn things around with the UAW a whole lot faster than they did. The company is on target to post profits starting midway through 2010. They're getting screwed over by the credit crunch caused by poorly managed banks. GM is one company that I believe will actually be able to pay back a loan by 2015, unlike the shit bags Fannie, Freddie, AIG, etc... (of course they can't go under either).
New vehicles from GM have excellent quality, so I don't know what would bring you to say otherwise. Have you owned a BMW or Mercedes lately or have a friend with one? Heck even Toyota's transmissions and engines are total shit right now but they keep it quiet.
CH 11 would be nice in an ideal world but things are far from ideal right now.
Get your facts straight before you start spouting off, especially in a Cadillac forum. |
Wow, Vrocks , take a deep breath. I actaully agree with your first 2 paragraghs. But as far as my facts, in the last 5 years, I have owned 2 Vettes, 4 Vipers, 7 Hondas (kids/wife) 2 Fords, and 4 Caddies including an XLR and XLR-V, as well as an 06 BMW M5. I can provide the dealer sevice sheets if you like, but my Hondas and Bimmer have been a lot less trouble free than the GM, Dodges and Fords.
Also, as I said if you were reading closely GM quality has gotten much better. I can buy almost any car I want and I would rather have a Caddy than a Bimmer or Mercedes. But, I am a realist. The M5 build quality, etc has been much better than my Caddies. I will still buy a Caddy.
A bailout ain't gonna help GM--just my opinion . It just puts off the inevitable. My family has owned Caddies since the late 30s so don't take umbrage--I am not a Euro snob--just the opposite.
