So...wouldja buy a GM?
Dartful Dodger:
I’m very loyal to brands. I’ve owned 3 Chevy Cavaliers a Chevette and a Camero, they were all indestructible. I became a Dodge guy when a 67 Dodge Dart fell into my lap.
I've had nothing but issues with all the Mopars I've owned since, but I’ve remained loyal to Dodge for 7 years.
I don't like that GM needed a bail out and I'd be ok if it was allowed to fail the way we let AMC fail, but I'm not that upset that it's getting a boost from the government. I've said this in another thread, GM cars are built for Americans to drive in America. Unlike Ford it wasn't selling to other nations. The problem as I see it, was Americans decided to sacrifice speed and dependability for cost and conservation.
I'm going to my Credit Union Monday to get a loan to buy my Buddy's SAABaru 9-2X. It's used so GM won't be getting more money from the purchase, but I'll officially be a GM guy again.
...that is until the Sweeds buy back SAAB. ;)

I don't like the bailouts at all, and failing is just a part of capitalism. If we don't fail, how do we learn from our mistakes?

I bought a used 2007 Chevy Trailblazer SS from a dealer back in December. I got a sick deal on it. I traded in my 2002 Chevy Blazer for it.
I guess I am a GM guy, I've owned 7 cars in my life and 5 of those have been GM's, 2 Buicks, and 3 Chevys. I never had any trouble with any of them, so that's where I got my loyalty.
My other 2 vehicles were a Ford and a Dodge, and I had major issues with both.

And there it is.

I'm not saying my animosity won't subside over time. But wife is going to need a new ride in the next year or so. If I don't go Ford, I'll probably go with something foreign. We had 3 straight MOPARs and had mixed results. But the biggest kick to the nuts when it came time for the trade in.
