holy *feces*. gm loses more in Q than Exxon profits LOL

I took it as a more general statement that he only gets excited by bad news, or someone to blame it on.  An evaluation of his collective works methinks.

Birdy, laughing at GM's ineptitude is a sport that goes all the way back to the 80's when it started to become quite, quite clear that they were living on their reputation and weren't really interested in The Car Bidness anymore, deciding instead to keep foisting cheaply built and poorly designed crap off on the American Motoring Public while driving profit through the financing end.

Bad things happen to stupid people, and upper management at GM has been stupid for decades...





I could go on, but it's not really necessary.

Even when they farmed the design and manufacturing out to industry leader Toyota, they couldn't figure out how to sell the damn things.




We're talking about a company whose CEO recently announced that they would produce the electric Volt in 2010, and hope the battery technology would catch up by then so that the car would no longer suffer the occasional "Catastrophic Thermodynamic Event", ie the *fudge*er has a tendency to burst into flames unannounced.

The fact that he said with a straight face is amazing, but not really surprising.

That's actually a pretty nice car, and I thought it reflected nicely on what the original GTO actually was, which was a low end compact with a big honkin' motor in it.

I don't disagree that the styling is less than stellar, and it looks like pretty much every other mid-size sedan out there, however.
