Gm
Hi Lee, I think the Japenese car Co's just go wild over GM. They own Suzuki, Isuzu, 20% of FHI, and have coproduction deal with Toyota for cars(New United Manuf.) in Ca. and an engine deal with Honda. I think GM would be in serious trouble business wise if the DUMB Japenese had not pitched in snd helped out the beast. No you didn't begin to be tough on GM. Take care BOBB

On a side note, GM is responsible for some of the ugliest things driving around: Aztek, Avalanche, Monte Carlo, the new Cavalier, the Sunfire, the Buick Rendevous,
oh yeah, also the most BORING line up of any marque: BUICK. I'd rather have a freaking razor scooter than a new buick. BLECH. Talk about coma-inducing. - Rob |

The Monte Carlo is truly an ugly car. Wow. I mean, The Aztek is ugly in a ponderous sort of way. But the Monte Carlo is a different kind of ugly - it literally pisses me off every time I see one.

Hey Bobb! Don't forget about the Korean connection with GM now. Daowoo's as Suzuki's and Chevys!

I wouldn't consider the Neon an inspiring design either, but Chrysler does have some good designs and even better concepts. I'd love to see the Copperhead, Chronos, Phaeton, or the Hemi 300C actually make it to production. If the car manufacturers keep turning out these jellybean cars, I'm going to start riding the bus.

now it looks like the 9-2 might get its own body and just roll on an impreza chassis.. but what about the motor? will we see a saab with a pancake motor? that'd be pretty neat, i'll admit.. but i kind of like the "affordable boxer" as a subaru-exclusive thing.. -adam |

consolidation
Hi SVX'ers, I'm afraid the world wide consolidation in the automotive business can only lead to more bad product coming down the line. Ask the Firebird and Camaro owners how GM took their concerns to heart. A Subaru with the Chevy name. An Impreza badged as a Saab. GM has no clue about owner loyalty and the sad truth is 50 years from now no one will remember. They all will be looking forward to the new 2054 Suby-Saab-Chevy. take care BOBB

P.S.
Want to have a nightmare? Think what our cars would be like if GM had designed them. BOBB
