GMs are not that bad.

Besides, the ills that affect GM also affect Ford, like the pension and
health care costs.

Possibly because each of the Big Three are facing the same economic issues,
only GM is getting hit a little harder. Ford is by no means running well at
the moment.

Got nothing to do if one prefers Ford cars over GM, the business issues are
generally the same for each of the Big Three.

The same reason so many people hate the NY Yankees. Where your team is not
as good the only thing you can do is hate those that are better. LOL

Most of the posters are import buyers that love to go into other NGs a
denigrate the other brands. They are just trying to justify to themselves,
why they spent so much more to buy their import, now that they realize their
car is no better than any of the other brands. LOL

1) GM is not "Garbage Motors." They make some good cars and trucks.
2) If you are not interested in a particular thread, you can ignore it.

Really? Prove that their car is not any better than any of the other
brands.]

If GM products are so good, how can other car makers sell any cars?

Who said imports do not make good vehicles? All manufactures today are
building good reliable vehicles. The reason people by imports is because the
people that buy them think they are better, obviously. The fact remains
far more buyers believe GM makes better stuff since the buy millions more of
them every year. The same reason they buy more Ford and Chrysler vehicles
every year than any import

It is true that imports are really not much better if better at all. A lot
of it is the old addage that others peoples ice are colder than someone
elses. My brothers wifes Mazda has literally fallen apart before there eyes,
2 transmissions already and I dont think it even has 130 miles on it yet. I
when riding in it sounds like its falling apart with the rattles. I think
its a 96 model MX6 or something like that.
My mother had a Toyota Camary 1982 or 83, that car stayed in the shop, she
got so sick of it and sold it to the mechanic. I personally have a 97
Pontiac with 129k miles which is still nice and tight and rattle free, the
only problem I had was an Intake water gasket failure at about 80k miles.
Other than that just regular maintenance and very dependable. I dont see any
foreign cars in my near future.
