That's why they produce cars that scream cheap, no matter what the price point If Unions hadn't gotten greedy it would be different. ___________________ reference text: by poncho167 Apr 13, 2007 (2:35 pm) Replying to: cooterbfd (Apr 13, 2007 8:27 am) Unlike the Cavaliar I am sure they make money on the Cobalt, G5, and HHR though a small amount compared to the non-unionized Japanese plants. It costs GM almost $3,500 a car in employee wages, health insurance so profitability is not much on a small low priced car.

Replying to: poncho167 (Apr 12, 2007 1:21 pm) For example: The Chevrolet Aveo is made in South Korea. The Geo Prizm/Chevrolet Prizm were just cosmetically engineered Toyota Corollas. They rolled off the same factory line in Fremont, California. They succeeded in messin' up one of Australia's Holden cars, otherwise known as the "new" Pontiac GTO (What a joke), let's hope they don't do the same with the new Holden car (Pontiac G8) I don't know where the Cobalt is made, but I doubt if they make that either.I think the Cobalt is a Korean car too. I think they make the Cavalier, I don't know. |

Replying to: gagrice (Apr 11, 2007 4:17 pm) The Corolla has been so successful, GM asked Toyota to make some for them under contract as Geo Prizms and Chevrolet Prizms, and the Corolla has sold more than 30million units since it's inception in the 1960's

Seats with support are not uncomfortable to us that dont have butts as wide as a double door entry to a house. The seats are hard like lawn chairs to keep you from falling asleep on long trips. Seats in cars aren't supposed to be like the interior of caskets (apparently what you like) ...very old fashioned :\ You can have your fake wood trim and recliner soft seats. As a driver I want good support with seats and non distracting trip

Replying to: rockylee (Apr 11, 2007 9:49 am) Why buy new? Buy used, Buy at auction, and save yourself $25,000. Cars are bad investments anyway. |
