“”GM, FORD and especially CRAPSLER need to be taken out back and thrown under the bus, along with all their useless union workers that could care less about building quality products for patriotic americans. Until you wake up to fact that they could care less about you and only care about their bloated paychecks, they will keep selling you crap products.

Do not bad mouth Toyota for building quality cars, put your frustration where it belongs, the big 3 ripping americans off for so long that they switched to a better product and the big 3 are getting exactly what they deserve.”"”

Youre fing retarded. Thats all I have to say… My dad has worked 31 years for the UAW and he is a hardworking man… and trust me he is not over paid… and whoever said they get paid 76 dollars an hour for screwing in a lug nut its also retarded… You would not know the first thing on working on the line.. Try this on for size … my dad still has 67 firebird and 69 z28 bought in those years in great condition with no restoration… They have been around for over forty years… I have driven the same v6 camaro with over 200 thousand miles with not a problem… JUST because one problem occured with yours doesnt mean it happens with EVERY american car… Problems also happen in japanese cars.. have you considered that you may not know how to take care of a car? Lets face the facts people..

When someone starts a rumor… it is spread like wildfire… So when someone started the rumor that Japanese cars are better, everyone liked japanese cars… Give the big three a chance… It would be a devastating mistake to watch these companies go under… I couldnt imagine… This is the last major industry we have… I dont think people realize this…. The only reason we got out of the recession of the 80s was b/c we had a great deal of manufacturing… Now we are going to watch the last of it die?? What are we thinking… I will always be forever greatful of GM… I will always drive american… Give GM a chance people…. We will regret if we dont

Its a superiority thing.

They say guys with small drive large cars.

Guys with small intelligence buy foreign cars to show they can’t make a decision based on quality.

They just buy foreign to be in style with the Jones.

I saw a person buy a new American car and I though wow someone does care. It was the new Chevy Malibu and it looked great.

If you ask the same ding dong if they bought an apple Ipod or and apple computer its in style.

American engineers designed that apple and it’s an American company. Opps should not have said that it might make people return there ipods.

Its time American people start having some pride!!

Support GM,Ford

Support our new president.

Unbelievable the idiot dumbshit I am a patriot so I buy american bullshit assholes.
Sell your Camery and buy a Ford or GM, …. KISS MY ASS YOU DUMBASS. I don’t like renting cars all the time while the piece of crap FORD is in the shop.
Its you so called patriot assholes that allowed GM and Ford to become second rate car makers. Save the workers…its those same workers that built the crap that breaks down all the time. Screw them.

This is to GMSAJOKE
My wife and I have owned FORD vehicles for over 15 years. Currently we drive an 8 year old truck and 5 year old SUV. We have never had problems and they only been in the shop for required maintenance. In fact some of my friends have had their Toyotas (which were lot newer than mine) in the shop for engine problems and then complained on how much it costs them to fix.

Sorry to put this in a GM VOLT blog site, but I refuse to let some smug Toyota Rules American insult the quality of American Cars. I am interested in the future of American Cars and in this product. I only wish that Ford had the drive to push for this as well or team up and maybe get this plug-in concept on the road faster.

And likewise, I am against the Bailout for the BIG 3. Just by giving them money, it won’t change their business practice. The Big 3 (and its Unions) need to restructure or go the way of the Horse and buggy.

Any goverment takeover that slashes union benefits should slash ALL benefits; that includes the millions and millions that GM pays out annually as benefits to current and former executives. Distribute the pain all across the board.

SINGAPORE (AP) — Oil prices slid to near $55 a barrel Thursday in Asia as more bad economic news from the U.S. heightened fears of a severe global downturn that will pulverize demand for crude.
Light, sweet crude for December delivery was down $1.08 to $55.08 a barrel, after falling to as low as $54.67, in electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange by midafternoon in Singapore.

“As the global economy continues to weaken, we’re going to see further downward pressure on oil,” said Stephen Roach, chairman of Morgan Stanley Asia, in Singapore. “I think we’ll certainly challenge the $50 threshold. We could challenge the $40 threshold.”

The crude futures contract overnight fell $3.50 to settle at $56.16, the lowest closing price since January 2007, after the U.S. Energy Department slashed its 2009 oil consumption forecast.

There you go GM. The dealer lot inventory of heavy vehicles will now sell as pump gas drops to $2 a gallon. Here is the cash you’ve been asking for. I am happy for you and the SUV manufacturing and R&D employees.
