truvoice1 Champion Author San Diego Posts:1,273 Points:470,040 Joined:Feb 2011	Message Posted: Jan 4, 2013 9:22:16 PM Ignore truvoice1 Report Abuse Ah, yes, the new 'Government Motors'! Bringing you a shoddily built, second class, run of the mill vehicle while the rank and file of the UAW and their fat cat union bosses bath in the dollars stolen from we taxpayers. Its a shame that all of those retirees and seniors that invested in GM stock for their retirement now have nothing to show for it. I predict that GM will face bankruptcy again by the end of the decade; and this next time let them go through the court system like they should of in the first place. Better yet, let them go belly up; we don't need their inferior products anyway!

It doesn't seem GM has got back to the quality control standards it had before it even needed a bail out. Mind you, I'm not sure a lot of the hype lauded by manifacturers' claim on their efficacy on enhanced QC is real either.
