GM Announces Best Warranty of Full-Line Automakers

Take Brent Dewar for example, the biggest nitwit I've ever met in a business suit.

So I guess that means you wear a Leisure Suit instead.

Wait, they say it's the best one.. but isn't Kia's 10/100,000?

I actually think the TV spot is quite cool.  Love the music for it.

yea but GM is saying theres is the best full line auto manufacture including trucks SUV's Luxuary makes as well as ecconomical rides...

There are rebates coming for those people who already took delivery of 2007s and paid for an extended warranty. Our business managers were wading through the miles of home office letters and forms yesterday.

Contact your dealer and be patient. The paperwork will be endless and everyone has to first figure out what to do.

It would have been great to get a 4/50 BTB warranty. Too bad. I'm not sure it will increase sales.

If that's really what matters to you, you can't complain too much. Half of GM's US Brands already carry a 48/50,000 warranty:

Buick, SAAB, Cadillac, & HUMMER

[I hope GMRULES again]

was just listening to a car talk radio show with some "experts" and they think the new warranty will be more for current GM owners who were thinking of dumping GM because of their bad press lately and maybe some current customers who got burned by the dreaded intake gasket problems What do you guys think? Sales and dealer people out there will have to keep us informed about showroom traffic in the next few months to see what impact this new warranty will have.

This warranty will not be sufficient to gain market share but should slow the loss.

Heres what I know. I have already seen ten to fifteen people come through the door as salesman introduced me to their customers. After talking to them, they all said they were border line about buying from GM, until they saw the warranty. It seems to be working here.

Is this warranty thing a step in the right direction? yes... Is it going to drastically improve sales ? Probably not. GM needs to pick a direction with each brand and run with it. That is the reason that the imports (asian especially) have gained so much market share. Toyota has pushed the quailty durability ads so long that now everyone believes it.
