Quote: “We want to sell Malibus, Impalas and pickup trucks in December.” from a Chevy dealer in Michigan.

Yes, I understand that they want to sell all those to make $, but don’t they see that their customer base is shifting away from those big comfy gas guzzling mid class sedans?

They should be grateful that people bailed them out; they could have been bankrupt & in ruins right now if the bail out didn’t happen. Frankly speaking, they should be focusing on how they can turn the VOLT momentum in their favour by showing off their newest high MPG cars like the Cruze or Equinox, not complaining how Malibus, Impalas, and pickup trucks are not getting favorable spotlights. They should get it into their ever THICK skull that no matter how much money GM throws at advertising those, consumers will likely ignore those ads or even take further negative views of GM.

LRGVProVolt: You got to be kidding or blind! GM has been hitting the airways with plenty of advertisements on current models.Cook Chevrolet most likely is having a hard time getting sales and is unhappy and will leap out at any opportunity to muster more advertising out of GM. Auto shows are the place where new technology should be shown, the appropriate venue for the Volt.Look, Cook Chevrolet is in Michigan, one of the states with the highest unemployment.I don’t agree with your conclusion that it won’t do much good. Everything I hear from friends and acquaintances about Chevrolet models has been positive.Happy trails to you ’til we meet again.  (Quote)

Yeah, I’m blind. I didn’t see the 24 hour all-Chevy, all the time channel that you apparently watch on my Comcast channel guide. On the channels that I watch, Chevy ads are as scarce as hen’s teeth. FYI, I abandoned the major TV networks ABC, CBS, and NBC for cable. I tried increasing the brightness while watching the news with Peter Jennings, but it didn’t work. He’s just as stupid and clueless as ever. (LOL) But I digress…

GM needs to help the dealers now. Honda, Toyota, Kia, and Hyundai ate GM’s lunch during “cash for clunkers”, and the trend is continuing. Gm must do something, and just talking about quality isn’t working any more. A huge warranty would do wonders for sales.

Oh, I forgot – they can just get more taxpayer money to stay afloat. Never mind, GM. Just keep talking about quality – someone’s bound to believe it sooner or later. And with taxpayer money, there will always be a “later”. GM, after all, is too big to fail – or is it?

Jean-Charles Jacquemin: That is exactly what I’m doing now, I will keep my Astra and my Corsa and NOT buy a new car until I could drive an Ampera, … or a Bluecar … or a Renault-Nissan EV. The new Astras and Insignas are fantastic products but they are ICE only … so no for me nor for my family (at large, they also are waiting).

That’s what we’re doing as well. BTW, did you see my comment about the Belgian Grand Prix poster? Actually, I went back and checked and it was 1898, not 1908 as I had thought.
