Replying to: 62vetteefp (Jan 08, 2009 4:42 am) Seems to me the lion's share of design work on the Camaro was done in Australia. I suppose the US-based powertrain crew would count for a few hundred jobs.

Replying to: m4d_cow (Jan 08, 2009 7:18 am) You claim there are about 40 crappy GM models. can you give specifics? Maybe put together a list from crappy to really crappy. maybe starting with Escalade, Lucerne, Sierra and Surburban, and ending with Cobalt, G6, Impala, and Lacrosse. When I study these vehicles, I can't find the list of problems you insist exists.

Replying to: dave8697 (Jan 08, 2009 4:35 pm) Cobalt Aveo Impala Equinox G3 G6 Solstice Sky (but they look good) Astra Those are just off the top of my head, not as familiar with trucks and SUVs; feel free to pitch in.

You forgot to include the HHR in the crappy category. Definitely a front runner for Turkey of the year in 2008 or 2009.

Replying to: andres3 (Jan 08, 2009 6:26 pm) I agree there. I rented one for a week in Alaska. I thought the Equinox in Hawaii was bad. The HHR is not something I would consider worth paying insurance on if someone gave it to me. The sad list goes on. I was a GM truck fan for nearly 20 years. I do not like what GM is building and selling as trucks. I would probably pick Ford that I think is ugly over a GM PU truck. |

Replying to: plekto (Jan 07, 2009 11:52 pm) Moral - only buy cars with a 1 as the first number in the VIN. Anything else is literally shipping dollars out of our economy and overseas. The Cruze will built in Lordstown, Ohio. It is also a world car and will be built in other plants around the world. Nothing wrong with that. GM just got the loan and you think they managed to build a plant in China? Things don't move that quickly. The Cruze will be in production in the next couple of months and for sale in many parts of the world. The delay for US production is because they are building an engine plant (in Michigan) that will supply the Cruze engines for the US version (1.4L DI Turbo). |
