Replying to: dtownfb (Jan 13, 2009 8:46 am) Do not know but GM has greatly reduced their rental fleet sales. I think Pontiac has taken the brunt of the rental sales. |

Replying to: dtownfb (Jan 13, 2009 8:46 am) According to this site, mid year registration for Buick: 21.4% of Lacrosses went to fleets 13.2% of Lucernes 6.3% of Enclaves So after half of the year, Buick fleeted out 4500 Lacrosses, 4300 Lucernes and 1500 Enclaves. Double that and its about 21 thousand Buicks. *Make that 16.3%* link title MY2007, Buicks fleet totals were 19.6% link title But they were also peddling the Terraza Minivan and the Rainier SUV at this time too.

So Buick is still higher than what Accord/Camry do in the midsize but much lower than for large car and much lower what it used to be. |

Replying to: 210delray (Jan 13, 2009 8:33 am) It can't be done by executive fiat. It was a campaign promise by our President elect. Are you saying that the 111th Congress will not jump when President Obama says to? One of his many statements on the subject: "Give the 12 million people who are here illegally… many of whom have U.S. citizens for children…a pathway to legalization." Again with that many more legal workers looking for good jobs the Auto industry is a Natural. They are hard working people that are used to a tough life. The sooner GM sheds itself of the UAW burden the sooner they will start to compete with the imports being built here.

Replying to: gagrice (Jan 13, 2009 11:07 am) C'Mon, Gary !! ( I really don't know how much FARTHER we could get from the topic, but I can't let that comment stand.) "A pathway to legalization" is so far, far, FAR away from saying "on this date you are automagically a citizen" that I can't believe a person would associate the two comments.

I gotta tell you this is totally bogus. All GM work/parts are warrantied at any GM dealer. Hey, I'm just telling reality. Whether you want to believe it or not is your choice. Surely there's a good reason a longtime GM loyalist turned his back on GM right when GM needs him. |
