Pontiac gone...GM kills off this div.

[Adman]

i kinda agree scoop, BUT at the same time without the unions the employees dont get the pay the should be getting or the hours or rights, but ur right the unions are outdated and a little overboard with alot of the shit the try and pull and do hurt the company a little

Japenese automakers do not have unions. They are doing just fine. :fear:

Buicks do quite well in China, they are considered luxury cars and you see them everywhere. Actually I wonder why they don't sell the same Buicks here, because in China they really are quite nice.

Considering China is like the only place where GM is making tons of money, they have a good reason to keep selling Buicks.

i have read this, and seen some of those badass buicks. their reason for not importing it was that over here, they wouldnt sell because of buick's image. i guess that sort of thing is why they are bankrupt

cars makers are aiming at the emerging markets.

My American cars in the past 10 years?

I own two Buicks and they are quality cars. They're comfortable, reliable, good on gas (not incredibly), and are fairly cheap. As have been the Fords I've owned.

My old Dodge Durango, on the other hand, didn't last more than five years before becoming too expensive to continually repair, I still have my 'old' Plymouth Neon after about 12 years and it is still running perfectly, after more than 200k miles. Save for a trunk that randomly lets water leak into it on a random rainy day (say once every two years).

GM has made the mistake of trying to appeal to the wrong crowd, and not making quality cars. Ford has had its ups and downs quality wise, but from what I hear, this year's lines are looking to be top notch. Edit: Oh, this is where I heard it: http://www.theday.com/re.aspx?re=d6b...5-2dfc179013cf

The newest thing I have is a 2006 Jeep Gran Cherokee, and it rules, hope that helps.

I saw a lot when I was in China last year... they're all leather seats with European-style headlights and all... very classy.

I think I thought up a new term.. pseudo-lemon socialism

There comes a time when coalitions like these, that once served a good purpose, only stick around just because they have been around a long time and wish to continue. They have become a hindrance, and I, for one, hope that they disband.

Coming from an art school background in design, the Chevy line is not attractive in its interior as well as it's exterior appearance and overall design.

To be honest though, if I won the lottery, the sports car I'd buy wouldn't be American.... unless it wasn't a multi-million jackpot, then I'd go for the Viper B)
