I love how they are advertising themselves as the world's most popular car company. That's because they spent the summer giving away cars. There's a lot of problems facing GM, such as their insane payroll and pensions thanks to our wonderful unions, but #1 is crappy product. Everybody always says, "but they're improving". Yeah, so are the Japanese, and Koreans, and Germans, and........ Worst of all are the Koreans, now that Kia and Hyundai have surpassed GM in quality, but for the same or less price, I'm amazed anybody buys Cobalts, Aveos, etc. Why can't they open their eyes?

Kia and Hyundai came to America with horrible product, remember the Hyundais that caught fire? In a short period of time they have gone from that to near Japanese levels of quality and reliability, all while keeping their prices competitive. As such, their cars have become more and more successful. It's not marketing or employee pricing, it's product. Someday GM will realize that the American public isn't as stupid as they think, not everybody takes their advertising at face value. You make inferior product, you will fail, that's the way business is. I don't care if they're improving or not, until they are as good or better than the rest of the world, I won't be on their sales lot.
