Did GM offer money to the media for a good word?

2007 Silverado Classic Info
yea its a good engine... but i've heard a few people complain about its relitively consumptive behavier... and Consumer reports did a report on vehicles that got better and worse fuel ecconomy then the EPA suggested, and that was the only GM vehicle on the list for worse...

dearly departed... NEW Addition :)
anyone got a recomendation on headers or exhaust that would help with fuel ecconomy, i've had a few customers say they accually notice a big increase in fuel ecconomy with full exhaust swap... so... i guess i'm looking to make this thing growl a little more she's kinda quiet

2007 Silverado Classic Info
are you refering to the Inline 6... the Trailblazer engine that is rated one of GM's most fuel consumptive vehicle? granted that thing has a lot of power, but man it gets horrible fuel ecconomy... it says on the window 16-21 or something... but realistically most people say its more like 11-13... for a mid sized suv...

dearly departed... NEW Addition :)
well today came and as i had talked before about changing my ride... well i did... probably nothing to what i would have expected... but i'll say this ever since Leathal Weapon... Mel Gibson had a midnight blue Chevy(maybe GMC) Crew Cab Duely... well I always wanted one just like that cause it looked awesome... well i got a midnight blue GMC Sierra 3500 Ext Cab Duelly... traded in the 02 trans am... went from 5.7 to 8.1... and damn that tranny shifts great! love the allison I guess i'm done with racing for now... besides i had a few close calls and i know when to call it quits before I get a ticket... anyone know any nice GM truck enthusiast sites that could help me out?

GM's 1st Quarter Results for 2006 are in
one thing that i noticed was that the revenue was either at a record high or near... thanks to high sales prices of the GMT900

Where will GM be gaining market share
the bright spots should be the entire GMT900, should gain marketshare, or atleast maintain if that market tanks... saturn will be revitalized... Sky an additional 12k units... aura, probably 100k a year... outlook probably 100k a year... astra should put in a 50k a year... if buick gets anything new it will be a hit... we still have the pontiac G6 convertable... we have the next gen cadillac CTS should be debuting next year or so... possibly the camaro... next year possibly a new rwd impala with the camaro will increase sales... along with monte carlo... should increase sales... basic new philosophy of not fleeting vehicles out, will improve depreciation, increasing desireable vehicles do to their investment grade as one might call it... i'd say GM can increase NA units by about 500k units by 2008... at least...

07 Silverado and Sierra
well perhaps 4x4 models but i dont see that here in cali... but here in our store we'll see maybe 650+ cars per moth and in the winter months sometimes as low as 400 cars... now with the average public purchasing at that rate... 60% would not be advisable to do a massive launch... perhaps it isnt that strong nationwide... but here thats what i've noticed the winter months are bad for the automotive business... every one wants to save for holidays

i'd also say tho, that launching a new vehicle in the fall is suicide... the silverado although it has a massive amount of sales... it still is the worst time to spend all the advertising budget on the silverado in the winter months... GM may not start to blow the advertising out until january or when we have the full line up of Ext, Crew, and regular cabs... but... who knows

How to pronounce "Ecotec"
it stands for economically responsible and technologically advanced... so thus ECO... TEC Ecotec straight from GM training baby

07 Silverado and Sierra
the new tahoes are doing great...
-
07 Silverado and Sierra
sure to keep hype up... but also to keep hype down... the week they showed us the GMT900 Tahoe and GMC... Tahoe sales died at my dealership... if they still have 500k silverados to sell... thats a lot of inventory to move and as soon as they show us the 2007 no one will want the 06's... thus incentives must move old stock units out...
