The part that I still have a problem with is that nobody went to jail and nobody lost their SEC license. I think we are headed there again. Matter of fact, if Trump doesnt go in again in 2020 it will happen immediately. If he does go in 2020 it will last a little longer but not much. But its coming, the question is how bad will it be.

I’ve had gm exclusively for the past 13 years. 3 trucks. Gas and diesel. Also driven newer dodges and fords on long hauls pulling boats. I’ll stick to my Gm. They have always treated me well. This news sucks but I read an entire article about it and it’s discontinung **** that doesn’t sell. That is a smart corporate move.

That would not be good if GM and Chrysler had ended up failing. Prices are already rising significantly on new vehicles, if Ford was the only one in the HD/ diesel truck market, prices would be well into the 6 figures since they would have no competition.

Disappointing news. I imagine a giant company such as GM is immensely complex to run but it’s still inexcusable. One thing I always scratched my head at was it’s like they make the same vehicles just with different badges on the front. Chevys and GMCs are just about the exact same thing , but GMC is “professional grade”? So the Chevy is the “average joe grade”? Remember Saturns?....
I was a GM guy before 2009, never cared for anything blue oval, but now I’m a Ford guy. Yes ford took a loan (because the government mandated that they begin designing more fuel efficient vehicles) but loans get paid back! Not bailing them out 10yrs ago would’ve been bad for everyone, employees, customers, even competition. I thought I read somewhere that ford actually voted for the bailout.
