This was said by someone here (Trush maybe) and it made a heck of a lot of sense to me.

"Both GM and Toyota run into a burning building with 5 children in it. They both save two kids and one does not make it out alive. The next days headlines read...."

"Toyota saves two, GM allows one to die"

The US media hates all things US, seems to me. 70% of the housing "Crisis" is being perpetuated by the media. The remaining 30% are and have been in place in any market. GM has made some mistakes, but I will tell you this, I have a 2003 Chevy Silverado 1500 extended cab truck. I have put 105K miles on it without so much as a tune up. I pulled the plugs and they are clean as a firetruck. I was going to install new ones but decided to leave them on the shelf. GM is doing a lot right. It has a 500 plus horse car (Z06 vette) that will run rings around the global competition with the A/C running and still get 23 MPG and do 11 second quarter miles. I have seen many debates about dropping 75-100K on a PT car or buying a Z06. If I had a do-over....
