I would never buy a car in its first year of new bodystyle because they suffer from too many first year issues. I;m sure GM has cars with problems too so its just not Toyota's with problems. |

I think the reason why GM has gotten alot of negative press is because of their financial situtation. I did see where you wrote not until the past two years nobody really payed attention to GM. Thats not true GM did get alot of attention in 01-02 because their sales were up big time after Sept 11th, 2001(WTC) and their market share was up in 2002-2003 from where it was in 2001 I think. Finally, GM did sell alot of cars in the 80's despite Toyota's and Honda's presence a that time. GM sold 5 million cars in the US in 1994 too.

BTW in response to an earlier post (not yours), the WIC program dates back to the 60s -- it didn't start in "Hillary's" administration. IMO, this is a worthwhile program that provides much-needed nutrition assistance for women, infants, and children living in poverty right here in the USA.

Replying to: montzter (Feb 11, 2007 4:05 pm) Ummmm wait a minute here. Last time I checked Toyota, was the one being investigated for hiding recalls for 8 long years. I never criticized GM plastics, but come to think about it, I seemed to have problems with various little knobs, levers, and other pieces that would break off in my 2002 Pontiac. At least on my Honda's they are just cheap looking but stay intact. We are suppose to believe you owned a 2002 pontiac ? I will not call you a liar but the fact that you didn't even list the model raises eyebrows about the credibility of that. Rocky |

Replying to: carguy58 (Feb 11, 2007 4:52 pm) Well it would be nice if this forum wasn't filled with posters spewing yellow belly propoganda. I'd like to talk about issues relating to GM, instead we have to hear how great Toyota and Honda are in what is suppose to be a GM, focused forum. Rocky |

Replying to: carguy58 (Feb 11, 2007 5:02 pm) So you also must believe it's okay for the Chinese lobby congress because they have 6,000 front company's here in the U.S. and own most of our T-Bonds. The Russians also own a good deal of them (I think 2nd) and thus they should be able to dictate domestic policy. I assume you think it's okay for Dubai, Iraq, Iran, etc to lobby congress because they have a vested interest in this country with oil. Does Afghanistan, get those rights also to lobby congress because the majority of their Opium sales end up here in the U.S.  Rocky, I respect you as a poster on this board but I disagree with you on this. I know I went off the deep end to prove my point but where do you draw the line carguy58 ???? I personally don't think any foreign entity has a right to determine our country's future. BTW- I respect your opinion but feel for national security reasons you are wrong. Like I said before, GM sells cars overseas just like honda and Toyota sell cars out of their home country. Does GM, get to lobby the Japanese government ???? Ummmmm, No!!!! Does GM, lobby the Chinese government ? Yeah they have boughten the commies off. Just Curious-I don't see what GM, selling a car in a foreign country has to do with lobbying here in the states ???? Rocky |

Replying to: carguy58 (Feb 11, 2007 5:21 pm) Well I've heard quite the opposite from camcord fans. The ones I've spoken to on these boards and other sites some have said that they see cost cutting in the Camry's interior for 07' and thought the last generation Camry was higher quality. Rocky |
