I don't want to come across as an angry, shallow jerk with sour grapes, but I would really love to see GM go under. For all the stupid decisions they've made in the past and are making once again, they don't deserve to be in business. What would be even more amusing is watching all of the execs sit there scratching their heads with stupid, blank stares on their face asking, "Why? Where did we go wrong?"
And wanna know what the saddest part of this whole thing is? Go to their website to contact them (i.e. send them a letter) and it specifically lists on the site that they are NOT addressing ANY letters regarding the styling of their products. What can I say, GM knows what we want to buy, right? That's why they're doing so well in the first place; because they THINK my 66 year-old dad wants an "old bastard mobile" like a Buick. Little do they know.
Well, regarding their styling and not taking letters, nobody likes to hear they suck, right? Sounds to me like a case of, "Yeah, we know, our styling sucks." I call it the "Metallica Disease." They used to be great, but now they suck and they know it. Now they want to "do what they want to do and don't care who likes it."
Basically, what's happening here is GM is telling us what we want to drive, and what we're going to drive. They've been doing this for years with belching out mediocre automobiles and low-quality SUVs. Now, it's only gotten worse with government involvement. Pretty soon we'll be driving around in cars with Eco-Tec 3 cylinders with hybrid powertrains, weigh 5000 lbs, and make 106 hp.
