I have to agree - I have owned GM all my life, but just bought a New Ford Escape.
 
I will never again buy from GM and Chrysler. I hope more people do the same. Let the unions and employees keep them in business. I for one hope they fail!!

I don't think it's stupid, I think buying another brand supports some other dealer and manufacturer. I feel sorry for Dodge and GM dealers, much of what has happened is not their fault, but some blame may be theirs - there are sales and service issues as well. I will vote with my wallet against Government Motors and either buy Fords or Toyotas or from someone who is good enough at their line of business not to require government intervention.

and billions of dollars, handed to these automakers with no hope of repayment. Dealers summarily dismissed. Bondholders, stockholders, told to take a hike after losing their entire investments. Just so that Fiat can have all the parts of Chrysler it wants for free, and 95% of the key execs at GM can keep their jobs. And they will go right on pumping out the same old schlock, STILL without a course to steer the ship or a way to turn it even if they had one.
 
If there is a groundswell of support across America for the notion not to buy from this pair as a result, I don't think I would shed any tears. All that money we gave them is already long gone either way, so let's at least let them meet the end they deserve. In the case of Fiatler, I don't think we will have TOO long to wait.....

GM and Chrysler get my first preference regardless of the political situation because I've always liked them. I've only had one Chrysler product and it was one of the best cars I've ever owned. I'd buy a Chrysler 300-C SRT8 tomorrow if I needed a new car.

Really? If GM and Chrysler go under, I really have nothing left to look forward to. All my money is just so much worthless toilet paper to enable me to survive to purchase commodities in an increasingly joyless world. Armageddon couldn't come soon enough. I will mourn the loss of GM and Chrysler more than my own impending death.

I think you need to look into a Ford Flex. Armor plating would be useful where you live. It is long and sleek. What more could a guy want in a car. Then you can always get a pre 1984 car of your choice. Those are not being crushed by the goons in DC. Face it, GM is history. Unless you want a Chinese Buick or Hummer. They have all the good looking Buicks in China anyway. Nothing here looks as good as this Buick:

Yeah, but it's still a Ford! Yuck! A world with nothing but Ford and Asian imports is like going to Baskin Robbins and all they have is unflavored ice milk! What good is money if there's nothing worthwhile to spend it on?

Buy a couch and some 13 inch rims and tires. It'll feel just like a Buick.

I thought that was a Genesis at first glance.
