  1. Either you have dementia or you need to come up with better material. You posted that exact article just over a month ago. But hey, what do I know? I’m just pointing out facts. Slight correction. It’s not the exact same article but the last article repeats 80% of what was already in the previous article so my core point stands. Your troll post was obvious and of course, the favored Canadian Lemming bit on it because well…who really cares, but I would run out of space on the this if I responded in kind with all the issues GM has faced just since 2000. Again, for the blind folks in the back, I am not touting Toyota or propping them up. They have had their fair share of screw ups and lemons and their EVs are a joke but it is still a FRACTION of what has happened to GM during the same time period that @David sourced for Toyota. It’s not even close and there is literally mountains of data to back this up but I’m guessing GM fans suffering from the Mandela Effect will never see it that way. To them, I say “tough s***”. Facts are still facts even if you don’t want to agree with them.
  2. Great job at turning this site into just another trolling cesspool @David. Blu would be proud.
  3. https://www.cbsnews.com/video/gm-recalls-1-million-suvs-over-defect-that-could-cause-air-bag-to-rupture/ And who can forget this little gem… https://www.csmonitor.com/Business/In-Gear/2014/0520/GM-recall-General-Motors-adds-2.4-million-vehicles-to-recall?cmpid=mkt:ggl:dsa-np&gad_source=1&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI_KqbyrbfggMV1TjUAR388gXjEAMYASAAEgLDaPD_BwE And I’m out. Enjoy your weekend folks, except for the butthurt A hole up north. Enjoy the misery you’ve kept as company all these years.
  4. Either you have dementia or you need to come up with better material. You posted that exact article just over a month ago. But hey, what do I know? I’m just pointing out facts. And to the lunatic who thinks his opinion means Jack squat, no it’s not Johnny Cash. It’s just little ole me sitting by the morning fire… Leave my name out of any future discussions. It’s that simple lunatic.
  5. You are a premium subscriber so you don't get all the pop ups I do. Not just the ad after the first page clock. It's the constant video pop up that come up and on a mobile device, the "x" (to close) button is so small that you will click on the video 9 times out of 10. The desktop version is much more manageable in this regard but I am all but done with using the site on my phone.
  6. I have to say that the mobile version of this site has become more unusable due to the pop up ads and videos. I get the reason for the ads but the execution of them takes away from the usability.
  7. And speaking of “taken out of context”, while you focused my calling you out for the “NOT” remark, you conveniently skipped over my very first sentence so let me refresh your memory. “This isn't news to anyone in the last few years. Hyundai and Kia have made sure of that, along with Porsche and a few others.” The point there was that the “news” you passed along has been known by everyone here for the last few years, hence my statement about you seeking yet another “gotcha” moment against Tesla. But sure, I’m trolling lol.
  8. Stop overanalyzing my statement about your obvious bias. There is no trolling on my part at all. I called you out on your obvious attempt to throw in your bias against Tesla and now you are trying deflect and flip it on me like somehow I’m the issue. That’s some rich $h! David and I’m not buying it. You said what you said and I’m not the only one who saw through it so save the trolling accusation for your next mirror talk. But I was trolling for calling him out lol. FFS. The narrow focus was made by your “NOT” emphasis but whatever you do, don’t actually admit to $h!. That’s the M.O. around here lately. No one has to admit to anything as long as they can deflect it onto others. Thanks for proving that.
  9. You most certainly did put more than "nothing" into that. Referring the above in bold: "Tesla is NOT the leader." Those are your exact words. Emphasizing with "NOT" is not reporting. That is interjecting opinion, an opinion that has obvious roots in past bias against Tesla. Imagine if ICE vehicles were sold the same way. Brand A will fill up with gas faster than brand B because Brand A is luxury while Brand B is not. I do not like this tactic being used by automakers right now and I promise you, that is a HUGE detriment to potential buyers. Add to that, it just leads to frustration and confusion on potential buyer's part.
  10. Don’t know why you’re acting “confused” David. You know exactly what I’m talking about.
  11. This isn't news to anyone in the last few years. Hyundai and Kia have made sure of that, along with Porsche and a few others. I cannot stand Tesla or Musk but once again, you put your bias and slant into this and as ccap pointed out, where Tesla leads by a mile is their charger network. It's not even debatable but go ahead and have yet another "gotcha" moment by posting stuff that we already knew and have known for a while now.
  12. It's called "trickle down sales" and it will bite them in the ass if they continue to do it while others don't but hey, GM right?
  13. Outside of the long outdated 4 Runner, all of their SUVs and trucks have gone hybrid or have it as an option but according to David, that is still outdated tech.
  14. Agreed on the 3.4L sales prospects but shhhh, he is not supposed to acknowledge that. Only old $h! from Toyota matters here. Didn't you know?
  15. Yeah, Gm is so confident in their future EV product lineup, that they are pushing sales of their trucks out 10-12 years but sure @David, they would do fine without them lol. https://www.reuters.com/business/autos-transportation/gm-could-reap-billions-by-building-combustion-trucks-suvs-through-2035-2023-06-13/
  16. For all of Toyotas present flaws, they are not dependent on one group of vehicles like GM and Ford, to provide their profits. Aside from their EVs, GM has just a much "old tech" floating around as the rest of them (the 3.6L, the 5.3L, the 6.2L, etc). I like you threw that in there because you think I am now some kind of Toyota fan (I am not). I just don't deal in fanboy logic. I'll leave that to you and SMK. ALL OF THIS! For the record, the 5.3L long predates 2000. My mother's '97 Z71 proves that.
  17. Really? "Narrow minded"? This came from a GM site and it is 100% factual. It leaving out what you think matters, does not change those facts. Take away GMs biggest cash cow and they would not last much longer than Ford. You know and I know that but I am the only who will say it out loud while you make excuses for it. But yeah, they're being "narrow minded". "facepalm" away.
  18. Everyone has until 2030 according to David yet GM is banking on their profit driven full size trucks to keep them rolling until 2035, but yeah it's nothing like Ford lol. https://gmauthority.com/blog/2023/06/heres-how-much-profit-gm-makes-on-full-size-trucks-and-suvs/ Now go ahead remove those trucks and see how long GM would last with that "diverse product line". It would be the same result as Ford if they did that.
  19. Yeaaaah, no. GM is absolutely still heavily profit driven by their full size trucks, just as much as Ford. Where else is the profit coming from? -EVs? Not yet. -Sedans? Non-existent outside of low volume Cadillac sedan sales Other than the Vette (which really doesn’t account for that much since it’s produced in far fewer numbers) GM still lives and dies by their full size truck profits and its fanboy logic to say that they don’t. A more diverse lineup does not equal more profit.
  20. And how, exactly, is that any different from GM and their full size cash cow trucks? Hint: It isn’t.
  21. "GMs are much more reliable today and have been for years..." Also GM ☝️ I kid (mostly) but that doesn't look good on a luxury make. That's pretty simple stuff.
  22. But it’s “around” $30K lol.
  23. Did I say you specifically? Nope. Sure didn’t. I said “GM fans” of which there are quite a few here. Again, misreading my words. That’s all I’m saying about it at this point. And it looks like @ccap41 already found it. Sure didn’t look like “around” and “at/@“ were distinguishable there but hey, I’m just looking right at the page lol. Your exact words below: ”Chevrolet has given us the best look today of their all-electric Equinox which they stated will start at $30,000 tapping a market EVs to date have not touched yet, will they deliver?” Now I’m done lol.
