  1. Keith Crain, editor at Automotive News calls a ball is a ball,and a strike is a strike. He has it figured out..........how come the guys running GM don't ????? Listen what he has to say GM. "It's a good thing that General Motors has North America and China to rely on for sales, products and profits. But what's going on in Europe? No one understood why GM got involved with PSA Peugeot Citroen by acquiring 7 percent of the company in March. Now, only a few months into the deal, it looks like GM executives made a big blunder. The weak European car market has made the value of the Peugeot stock worth less than the valuation carried on GM's balance sheet. I hope GM executives were smart enough to stick an escape clause into their deal with Peugeot so they can put their tails between their legs and quietly slip away. It didn't make sense then, and it makes less sense now. Meanwhile, instead of trying to fix Opel, which has decades of strong recognition with Europeans, the same GM officials are adding Chevrolet into the mix and completely confusing customers. It will take decades for Chevrolet to establish anywhere near the recognition that Opel has. GM got rid of some pretty strong car brands in North America, including Pontiac, and is starting from scratch to introduce Chevrolet in Europe. GM will spend billions of euros to establish a new brand and dealer organization when it already has the well-established Opel and Vauxhall brands. GM should allocate that money to fixing Opel rather than trashing a strong existing brand. GM needs good car people and European finance folks to figure out what Opel needs and then do it. It would be more productive and less expensive than starting another brand in Europe. People who know the car business realize how difficult and expensive it is to establish a brand in a market, particularly an American brand that is an import to Europeans. GM needs people with automotive experience at the top of the corporation. It needs top executives who have had operational experience in the automotive industry. The current situation offers plenty of evidence for the GM board. Much work remains for GM before the U.S. government has a prayer of getting back its money. The government still has a big stake in GM, but it's up to the company's directors to figure out what needs to be done. It will be interesting to see if they do what has to be done."

  11. Trailblazer SS without leather and nav, Offer them 19.5K tops. Check the trailvoy.com website for all the info on SS Trailblazers. I hear some had tranny problems with lead footed owners. I've seen some nice under 50k miles SS Trailblazers Loaded with AWD, nav, sunroof, etc for under 22K on ebay. Good Luck on your purchase on any Trailblazer SS you buy. They are really a nice truck.

  20. I want an issue of Chevy 100 "Special Edition" for $30.00. Count me in. Thanks. Email me so I can give you the money.
  21. GM is Never going to have 40-50 thousand Corvette buyers ever again. Turbocharging, 3 Litre engine will not bring buyers over to Corvette. And do you think the price will go down for this "new" technology ???? Dream on. Price has KILLED this car. Very hard to justify 50-60K for a two seater, yet alone 80-90K for a Z06. 120K for a ZR1. All beatiful cars but not for those prices. Price will sell volume, and volume with generate profits. DON'T put a turbo, 3 litre, or what ever else these young genuis engineers are tinkering with the "coke" formula. Get some REAL car guys with gas in there blood to make the Corvette great again. Wake up GM.
  22. I couldn't wait to turn 21 to buy my first Corvette. My parents asked me to wait till I turned 21 so I could afford the insurance. I listen to them. I wanted the true American Sports Car. Power, looks, the best Chevrolet had to offer. Every red blooded American boy wanted one of these cars back in the late 50's,60's and 70's. GM kept raising the price so they made it impossible for a young person to own. Look at all GM car prices. The prices for the complete car line in GM is nuts, plus the most important thing is they LOST the die hard GM customer. A Buick is not a Buick anymore, Chevrolet is not a Chevrolet anymore,Oldsmobile......first to go. Pontiac.....gone. Saturn shouldn't happened,not needed, but Roger Smith (dumb) wanted it. Here's the key, kids (younger generation) don't want American cars. There are plenty of "cheap" used Corvettes and no younger man would buy them. People don't care about buying American cars, they rather buy a $18,000 Nissan, etc than buy a used 95 Corvette for say $10,000. GM lost all these loyal customers because of not following keeping customers.......cradle to the grave. Us die hard GM (Corvette)people are a dying breed, we are the iconic "Oldsmobile" buyer. I thought for sure Toyota would buy GM (you probably laughing) who would believe bankruptcy. GM needs to give Corvettes away to the young star crowd in Hollywood, music types, high profile people in the news (internet, facebook) and put the Corvette out in public view, this goes for all GM products. Make it AMERICAN again to buy GM. Give cheap leases to customers on GM high end (Corvette & Cadillac)cars. GM needs a Joe Pike to "sell" the Corvette. It can be done.
