But if a young person buys a Cobalt SS, he has a higher chance of "graduating" to other GM vehicles in the future. Think about it, GM needs vehicles like that to prevent the youth market from assuming that only imports make cool vehicles.

I'm not disagreeing with you. I'm saying GM is bleeding waaaaay too much and it had to go.

Besides, the young guy buys a truck first then an SS Cobalt.

And rental companies are still buying fleets of plain cars.

General Motors made bad decisions that have now put them in this position. People stopped buying their cars because they weren't the quality of other manufacturers.

yes, GM has made great strides in improving the quality of their vehicles, My 2006 Saturn is my second Saturn. But, I will also say, it is not as good of car our '01 was, and will be our last, rather GM closes them or not.

Like all mega corporations...and governments...their massive size creates real problems with efficiency and fosters an "I don't give a shit about my job except getting paid" attitude, which drives customers away

I wonder if the Car Czar has anything to do with this?
