Welcome to the results of purchasing foreign on unfounded bias.

I'm not talking Porsche, BMW, or other sporty cars where GM really doesn't have an alternative.

The Malibu with one of those old-school pushrod V6s gets 32 MPG highway. The previous generation, while not a great car, was ranked more reliable than a Camry. I'm sure the new one is better.

Meahwhile, who asked for a CAFE exemption? Nissan. It's not just the Big Three that are rolling out the trucks like there's no tomorrow

The union and management are part of the problem, but when half the country sets in to buy a family car and says "I'm not buying American because my 1978 Oldsmobile diesel blew up," that's idiotic.

Meanwhile, GM sold 100 American cars in Japan one year around the beginning of this century. Other nations are loyal to their industries. We tax, legislate, and buy against them enough to drive them bankrupt or out of the country.
