#1 Very profitable Rose Chevrolet with sales in top 10% of all Chevy dealerships told to close by Gov't Motors. Location? John Baehner's 8th Congressional District, Ohio. Any questions?

#2 Problem with this is that over 80% of all auto dealers give mostly to Republicans.

#3 Please note: that's 42% of their current customer base, which is about 20% of the US market. GM used to be close to 50% of the US market--or, to put it another way, there's a helluva lot of people who bailed on them long ago, for many very understandable reasons.

#4 Perhaps GM's present difficulties are the result of this poll being conducted (& then acted on) over and over for several decades.

#6 I loved my 3 Chevys There just weren't enough of you, and far too many of them.

#7 I drive a Isuzu supercab, it's the same thing as a chevy s-10 just not with the name changed, seems like chevy couldn't make a good small truck, so they simply rebaddged Isuzus.
I like my truck, but as it approaches 200 K it neds work, als it's rusting thru the body (Looks poorly primed) and I'll probably buy something else, not another isuzu/chevy.

#8 Two Buicks and a Saturn in my past. No more GM, ever. It's a shame, I like my current Enclave.

#9 Ironically enough, I just bought my first GM about two years ago. It was made in Korea.

Fuck, man, it was cheap. It gets me where I need to go.

#10 Bought a Pontiac Vibe in '07. Has Toyota parts - even says so on the engine and the Pontiac salesman made a point of pointing this out.

Some sort of joint venture between Pontiac and Toyota. (Wife wanted the Pontiac Vibe over the Toyota Matrix and it was her car).

#12 Love my Pontiac Vibe. However, it's the last car I'll ever buy from Government Motors.
