That was some other GM, not us.

Same thing with the big 3, people keep buying from them because they are american car companies and the fact that they sell an inferior product (warranty quality, looks, lifespan etc....) has no impact on their car purchase.....

The car companies in the country are the dump buckets for anything that has to do with U.S. build quality...because there is so much foreign competition and there is so much emotion tied to automobiles. Yet...you never hear how cheap a Dell computer is in comparison to a Toshiba, do you? GM is typical America..and typical of an American company. Did you ever look at the American military in comparison? The waste, the ineptness, the lack of direction and you think GM is bad? GM is simply a mirror or what this country is...and most of it is on the internet during work hours instead of working.

Look at you what YOU do and YOUR company and now compare it to GM. I can bet GM fairs pretty well. It's too bad we can't outsource our military to Japan. I'm sure we would get a more quality product. Agree? Think about it now apply it to other American industries.
