Replying to: gagrice (Apr 06, 2007 6:12 pm) It shouldn't be the luck of the draw, but who knows. I don't have all the answers. I can only go by my own experience. I don't abuse cars, and I don't tend to buy automatic transmission, if that makes any difference. I can't stand cars with automatic transmissions. They're BORING. Can you spell B-O-R-I-N-G? My experience with Hondas and Toyotas have been very good. I sure do miss my Honda Accord EX sedan with the sunroof and power everything and trunkwing. Talk about envious stares that I used to get. Man do I miss that car. It was like riding a tight cloud. I'm probably going to buy another one, and just keep it forever and buy a new engine for it. Who knows, there are so many good and diverse choices when it comes to cars these days |

Good luck when the automatic goes in that Lexus. $3500 versus $1600 for the GM. And the list goes on and on. The imports are getting almost as pricey to maintain as Mercedes and BMW. My mother's 2001 LeSabre is running perfectly fine - been in the shop once in its life for a broken sensor, which is pretty routine on a car with almost 80K miles on it. The GM of today isn't the GM of 1980.

So this forum went from talking about Cadillac, to become the bash everything GM, forum.  I've never read so much propaganda in 10-15 minutes in my whole life. I feel I might of lowered my I.Q.  As imidazol97, has pointed out the statistics say different but I guess since it's GM, the facts don't apply.  Yeah I know every GM, car ever made is a  Rocky

Why doesn't GM just start building most of their cars in China? They don't need to build them in the U.S.A. anyway. And they're already building many in China and Canada, already. The Chinese version of the Buick Lacrosse is built there....Then they could just export them here. That might improve the quality of their products.

Well the Lucerne, 08 CTS, Aura, Silverado, Tahoe, look like quality vehicles to me and that's not all of them just a few. If GM, built buicks in China, people like myself who are "buy american" types with good jobs would not buy chinese made buicks. Rocky

Replying to: rockylee (Apr 06, 2007 6:58 pm) I sure wouldn't trust any Chinese-made vehicle when the Chinese can't even get the formula for pet food straight. Seems our cats and dogs are dying due to pet food components sourced from over there.

Replying to: mediapusher (Apr 06, 2007 7:18 pm) I will also will add I'd rather buy a car made in Canada, than in China. As far as your comment goes about GM, should build in China, so they get their quality up sounded like a cheap shot. But I'll leave it alone. Rocky
