    You really don't have a clue about tax law.

    Some folks are not too bright I guess. Try driving a VW 'automatic.' We
    had a lady customer who drove her import for nearly three years in 'D'
    because as she said I never drive over the speed limit. LOL

    You must be referring to those intelligent people that prefer GM vehicles.
    GM offers more vehicles that get 30 MPG or more than ANY other manufacturer.
    The full size pickups from both GM and Ford get better fuel mileage than do
    the Tundra and Triton, as well. I guess that is why today more buys chose
    GM vehicles than from ANY other manufacture. LOL



    Intelligent people buy quality. They don't buy irrelevant pieces of
    shit that get bad gas mileage.

    I don't buy crappy cars made by ACCOUNTANTS. I buy cars made by
    ENGINEERS.
    ==========================================================
    Like GM, and all other cars, moron.


    I have NEVER OWNED an American car and I never will buy one. I
    predicted Detroit would go bankrupt DECADES AGO. People WON'T BUY
    CRAP.
    ==========================================================
    Never owned one eh? That means your opinion is worth absolutely nothing.
    Congratulations.


    Detroit relied for too long on you flag-wavers who only "buy American".
    ==========================================================
    Wrong again. Detroit's GM still sells more automobiles then any other auto
    maker.



    Intelligent people buy quality.
    ==========================================================
    Nice to know what intelligent people buy. Now, what about you?


    They don't buy irrelevant pieces of shit that get bad gas mileage.
    ==========================================================
    GM produces more fuel efficient vehicles then any other auto maker.


    Even today, Detroit is bragging about 25 miles per gallon. Imagine--
    "bragging" about a measley TWENTY-FIVE MPG!
    ==========================================================
    See above. GM has more fuel efficient vehicles then ANY OTHER auto maker.


    You have got be kidding me! LOL
    ==========================================================
    Get back to class, you shouldn't be using the Internet at school.

    What an amusing, clever picture. To bad it is full of lies, just like your
    post. I highly suggest you do some research next time before you attempt to
    Troll a newsgroup, and make yourself look like a huge ass.

  6. For how many years has this been true?

    You mean, they sold what buyers wanted? How dare they! And if "low mileage
    high margin trucks" were a bad thing, why did Toyota get into that field
    too?
    That Corolla must be used...
    Wrong. Here is a list of the cars Detroit is selling, in the top 20 sales
    through October 2008:
    The Chevy Impala is #9, Ford Focus #10, Chevy Cobalt #12, Chevy Malibu #13,
    Ford Escape #16,
    Ford Fusion #17, and the Pontiac G6 #18. Like I said in another post, the
    facts are GM especially, builds
    more vehicles people want then any other auto maker, as is proven by the
    sales numbers.
    Yes, they are. However, Ford is still Number One, and GM Number Two.
    Your "facts" are though.

    You seem to be confused, buyer have always CHOSEN to buy what they buy. The
    Ford F150 has been, for thirty one years and is still today, the number one
    selling vehicle in the US. The F150 has always sold for the most part at a
    rate nearly twice that of the best selling car. While Toyota had to shut
    down its brand new Tundra plant built by the taxpayers of Texas, because of
    dismal sales, Ford had to add two shifts to one of its F150 plants and a
    second shift to another.

    That may be your opinion but the tax attorney/CPA that works for me, does.
    He stopped buying Lexus' about the time I did because, as he put it, "Japan
    Incorporated" is robbing us blind in this country. The difference is he
    now buy German luxury cars and I buy domestics ;)

    That's what extended warranties are for. That and "American" cars with
    Japanese engines and transmissions, like my wife's Pontiac Vibe (a Toyota
    Matrix in Pontiac drag). I got a GM supplier discount on the car too. ;-)

    In November Fords sales dropped 30%, Toyota 33%

  12. You can't include the F150 in any discussion of passenger vehicles. Being an
    expert on the automobile market, you know why.

    Sounds more to me you are making excuses for your inability to understand
    the operation of a vehicle just like that woman, or the one years ago who
    complained her car did not run well. We discovered she would hang her purse
    on the pulled out the 'choke' lever. ;)

    It is true today, the only time one can buy a NEW car.


    GM offers more vehicles that get 30 MPG or more than ANY other manufacturer.
    The full size pickups from both GM and Ford get better fuel mileage than do
    the Tundra and Triton, as well. I guess that is why today more buys chose
    GM vehicles than from ANY other manufacture. LOL

  15. In other words, for a fraction of GM's existence as a car manufacturer.

    Because everyone who I know who has either a Porsche or a Bimmer has
    it in the shop more than any other cars I know of (except for a few
    Cadillacs) and if the dealer didn't treat them so well, they'd NEVER
    own a second one (the Bimmers in particular) tHEY SAY ANYONE WHO
    THINKS THEY ARE SOMEBODY NEEDS TO OWN one bmw IN THEIR LIFE - IF FOR
    NO OTHER REASON THAN TO KNOW THAT MACHINERY DOESN'T CARE who OR what
    YOU ARE - IT TREATS EVERYONE THE SAME.

    Anyone who buys an extended warty is a fool.

    Industry statistics prove the fact that only around 1% of ALL the extended
    warranties sold in the US EVER pay out more in total than the premium paid
    to buy it and the deductible that apply, period.

    The fact is every manufacturer today foreign or domestic is building good
    dependable, long lasting, vehicles that can easily be run to 150K or more,
    trouble free.
     
    Mike Hunter, Dec 9, 2008

  19. Yeah. Most people pay to have them removed by a doctor.

    You're getting a late start today, Uncle Jemima.

    That may be your opinion but I remember when GM, Ford, Chrysler, Studebaker,
    and Nash vehicles would win the "Mobile Economy Run."

    What happened in the past may be a factor for you but you are likely, like
    most in the NGs, a used car buyer LOL
