Hybrid BMW’s are a good news for the forever fans of BMW. Not anyone can afford a BMW and that’s because BMW are strong heavy power cars with a relatively high fuel consumption. Let’s hope the fuel consumption part will soon change, that would make the

The GM is the topmost brand in the automotive field and to maintain the position the continuous development should be done. Now a days the most considerable fact about the car is the fuel efficiency and GM don’t neglect it for the big market of fuel efficient cars.

great point you are trying to make bill - but below average we have:

GMC
Chevy
Hummer
Dodge
Jeep
Saturn
Pontiac

near the top for reliability or better than average (admittedly after Buick)
Lexus
Toyota
infiniti
Acura
Honda
Hyundai
Subaru

You arent making a very good case for buying (pretend) American

GMs Marketing dept seem determined to hammer the nails into there own coffin.
while their company is on the precipice of bankruptcy they are busy trying to sell us the Volt - a car that doesnt even exist yet. This is there idea of trying to tell us that all GMs arent all lumbering dinosaurs.
Well heres an idea why not highlight a few of the more modern vehicles you already have like the CTS instead of something that likely will never appear.
Ford have the right idea - have you seen the Ads for the Lincoln MKZ, they are promoting that they allready have modern technology. Its no surprise that they havent went cap in hand to the Government. Somebody fire the ad-men before its too late.

Buick is the highest quality car in the world

Beats lexus but 5 points.

So GM makes the best cars in the world.

I dont see your point. Japanese make worse cars.

Bill you’re full of it. Let’s see… Consumer reports rates Ford, Honda and Nissan as manufacturers that produce better quality than GM. Are they all paying Consumer Reports to rate their cars better? Consumer reports does rate the new Malibu high and recommends it, does that mean GM is now paying Consumer Reports?
Consumer Reports downgraded the 07 Camry V6. They dislike the Toyota FJ Cruiser and think there are better choices than the Yaris. That doesn’t sound like Toyota owns Consumer Reports.
GM became large by cranking out descent cars for cheap. Lately American consumers have been demanding higher quality and more fuel efficient cars. GM has been behind in these two areas. That is why they may be filing for bankruptcy protection. I think the change in the economy will help GM (if it survives) in the long run as inflation will force the price of Japanese vehicles out of reach of most Americans.

I just bought a new GM

I love it . It was so much better than the same priced toyota.

I think GM cars now are much better than toyota cars.

The only problem is Toyota has a more money to give to Consumer Distorts.

So I never read that magizine anymore. CR is a huge fraud.

GM is like many CEOs, they work on the short term incentives, not for the long term future. The so-called Production Guru Bob Lutz had a very nearsighted vision, laughing at hybrids and he kept his position in the Company for a long long time. No wonder.
The guys who sit at the top of GM think that cars will use ICE (alone) forever, oil will last forever. How naive.
As veek said: Do we need such a company?
