Re: General Motors will file for bankruptcy protection today

As long as the government owns it, I will never buy a car from them. I have always been a GM guy, but I think I would buy a Ford instead now, at least its still non gov't.

Re: General Motors will file for bankruptcy protection today

Is it just me or does it seem like the most ignorant thing in the world to keep GMC when all they are is Chevy's with different grills. :

You would be suprised how many people buy GMC's that would never consider buying the Chevrolet version of the same vehicle. There is a difference in the clientelle between Chevy buyers and GMC buyers.

But couldn't the same be said about all of the divisions? They're all built on the same platforms. Just slightly different sheet metal.

I'm one of those people. Short of getting one for free I don't see myself ever getting a Chevy. I'll buy some other division equivelant.

I'm with Randal and will have a problem if I ever need/want a new car again (ahem "arrowhead"). mrs arrowhead likes the Acadia so she'll be OK :
