You of all people know that the media is corrupted. Don't suddenly use that as an excuse for why sales=competitive. It doesn't and any person with a drop of objectivity should know that.
We're talking about sales equalling competitiveness, not success. Uncompetitive cars can be successful, but that's not justification to make a car uncompetitive. That's just retarded. Take that any way you want but GM cannot continue to get by making uncompetitive cars. Obviously, GM realizes that too. Look at the upcoming Aura, the Enclave concept, the new Tahoe... All thoroughly competitive. Well, the Aura and Enclave should be going by the concepts...
Do you forget who the hell your talking to? It's me, BV. Remember now? Yeah, I like Imports. It's no secret but I originally came here as a GM fan. Yeah, GM annoys me sometimes and only really like them for Pontiac. Still, I'm in the middle. I don't have much against imports or domestics, I just like what I like and I call it like I see it. I won't give slack to any manufacturer for doing something I'm not a fan of. I especially won't deny something that's deserved.
Now, do me a favor and never come at me like that again. I've never said anything against you and I respect you. I wasn't calling you or Sixty8 "completely retarded". The logic in what he was saying? Yes, but not him. Got it?
However, what I said was true. Factor in the f@#king fleet sales! I garantee you that Chevy will not be the best selling car brand after doing so. Especially when somewhere around half of Impalas and Malibus go to fleets.
Again, I said nothing about success or money. I'm strictly talking about the cars themselves and whether they are competitive or not. In case you forgot, competitive means to be as good or better than the car it is competing with. In this way, most of GM's midsizers are uncompetitive. Don't like it? Yell at GM, not me. I'm just calling it like I see it, as I said.
Um... what? I said using the logic Sixty8 displayed in his post would surely run GM into the ground had he been in charge. Looking at what's happening at GM now, they don't use that logic. They realize they have to make vehicles that are as good or better than the competition and will finally starting to put out competitive products.
But it's okay for you to criticize me and foreign brands?
Ding, ding, ding! That's my point. Sales do not equal the best vehicle, as shown by Toyota and *gasp* GM.
Really? Its just to piss people like you and Sixty8 off... Huh... I would have thought it was to make GM a better company. Guess not... If that isn't a conspiracy theory if I ever saw one...
