How much money did GM loose last year? How much did Toyota make? Who had the newest product line? Oh and GMs best MPG vehicle is the Aveo which gets all of 35mpg (one better than I can finagle my XT6 to get on the highway. Toyota has 4 vehicles that exceed that not including the prius and 2 more that match it.

- I make a claim that someone doesn't like - they ask for proof - I provide it - source is called into question If you are going to do this everytime, i'm not going to bother. If you really feel that way, then why are we arguing about this? Niether side will be able to prove anything, because ANY source is faultable. Especially in this subject area. Quote:
How much money did GM loose last year? Alot. How much did Toyota make? Alot. Who had the newest product line? Debatable. Seeing as GM makes about 4x the nameplates that Toyota does. I'm curious as to what the point of the above questions was. Quote:

I love the GM V6 note. Sounds closer to a V8 than any other V6 that I know of. |

YNWMT But funny reading. Maybe you should do some to educate yourself to the automotive world better. GM commercials aren't the best source of information out there.

Apparently you haven't really payed attention to my past posts. Few people here would argue with the claim that I am pretty well educated about the automotive world. They may argue, however, that my conclusions based on that education are crazy, but then that's a matter of opinion and I don't really care. YOU, my friend, are the one who needs education. BTW - most GM commercials suck. I did, however, enjoy the one with the Cobalt picking on the Corvette. I thought that was pretty clever. Anything else? |

No obviously I haven't because obviously you're not well educated about the automotive world as you still drive a GM. I've spent quite a few years working in the industry, going to school studying design at what??? An IVY LEAGUE school???? Some of your posts have made sense in the past, this one is soly based on emotion. Personally I like the sound of the Camaro and Firebird but would never own one because I don't have enough chest hair or a big enough gold chain. I guess your chain is a little too tight around you neck.

I could be wrong, but a friend of mine who's a manager at Enterprise Car Rental told me that they were purchasing more GM vehicles over Toyota...maybe because of price increase? If that's the case for these fleet vehicle purchases, then the margin is shrinking for winning over new customers from Toyota's irongrip in a whooping 2.1% increase. It seems that not many Toyotas were traded in for new GM's though. Not significanly enough to mention. We won't know the results until the next postings to see if the increase hurt Toyota. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Per your source: "That Toyota is increasing prices by 1% or so is not unusual at all. It's what they've done every year," said Jesse Toprak, senior analyst at Edmunds.com, a consumer auto-data service in Santa Monica, Calif. "That they are doing this while most competitors are cutting prices is unique." Toyota, which increased U.S. sales 11% in this year's first half, is raising prices 1.2% on average. GM's first-half sales rose 2.1% because of a 47% surge in June, when it began offering employee discounts to all buyers. Ford Motor Co. and DaimlerChrysler AG's Chrysler Group followed that offer this month, while Asian makers such as Toyota haven't matched it. From your boys at JD Power and Associates: The Power Information Network trade data shows that in both May and June, more than 60 percent of the vehicles traded in on GM purchases have been GM vehicles. There has also been a mild increase in the number of Ford vehicles being traded in for new GM models. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Last edited by Noir; 10-10-2005 at 01:13 PM. |
