So we might see a lwb epII Impala instead of zeta. I'm not totally against it. Cause I'm not sure there's enough demand for all those RWD cars. People who love RWD will have the G8 and Camaro.

GM has to put money on the development of the Volt, which would be a lot more successful than a RWD Impala and it would change its gas guzzler image.

Title is misleading, sales are down 12%. 28 selling days vs 27 last year.

Toyota cars are filling up rental lots in my area.

Perfect design, I don't think it's bland. Personally, I like the hood scoops.

Easy to explain the sales drop, product not good enough!

Oh no, bad fuel economy! Seems that GM can't build a small engine with world class fuel economy.

From what I heard, u can buy an Accord for up to 5K$ under sticker.

Nope, I'm pretty sure the Balt will be at chicago...

I hear they have a few 08s being tested now.....

THough I think that changeover is late this summer...

I'm pretty sure the new SS is that 260hp turbo...

It sounds like it gets the 08 malibu front end, nip tuck the sides, freshen up the rear, and update the interior.....

Any word on the 2.2 getting VVT?

Not good. Anybody else thinks that the new Tundra is gonna sell like crazy. Becoming the best selling fullsized PU? I would not be surprised at all.

It will look nice in person. But what a hood!

I kind of agree with him that GM is still a bean counters company. G6 and Aura concepts were great, but production cars are just ok. why?

Well I did my part. Picked up a Cobalt LT coupe on Nov. 27. And I love it!

Congrats. I like mine too, but you will find that some interiormaterial are cheap and tend to creak and rattle a bit. Was there a huge discount? Cause GM is supposed to get away from rebates.

SRX up 9.5%, new interior paying off????

The average of incentive spent per car is more than 4000$. It's going to work for a while.

Impressive, Camry outsold the Accord by over 10k units this month.

The Corolla is outselling the Accord as well.

34000 more slippin tranny on the road. Toyota is giving more rebates than ever.

And I wonder the % of fleet sales. I see so many fleet Camrys.

Here you can buy a Civic and get a 500-750$ of gas. Why they do that if they are in short supply? Oh yeah, ang you get a free auto transmission with the Fit.

Truck are doing ok, but car sales are a bit disappointing. Toyota sells more cars than all GM's divisions combined.

Total Toyota division: 160K

Total Chevrolet division: 171K units. That's close.

Not good, considering that Toyota sold 196K units in november.

the new Altima will make huge gains if it is a reliable car and the Camry's go down the toilet.

from the yahoo link

it should be interesting to see what consumer reports will say in the end

Funny that none of those problems were reported in their last edition. The car was quoted as perfect.

Nothing is perfect.

I don't think a Halo car would improve sales of the Lacrosse and Lucerne. I would prefer a new Lacrosse cause the current one is such an old design with a dated engine and platform. This can't bring new customers.

To me, that car is too bland. The GTO don't sell, I don't see why the Commodore would.

I doubt of the success of that car if it's not designed and built in NA.

GM should not give up the market, but build just one version, a Chevrolet. The current ones are just awful.

Great looking. Certainly world class, I hope there is a new interior planned for the G6 next year, cause compare to this interior the G6's looks like total crap.

What a successful american company!

Is this from popular mechanics?
