There's no doubt that GM didn't perform up to standards in the 80s. My dad could tell you stories about the 3rd gen F-bodies that he built that would make you cringe.

The thing is, GM is no longer the company it was 30 years ago (literally). If you could get more consumers to just consider GM brands, you would see a spike in sales.

I would say the media is starting to turn against the company they've promoted for years: toyota. I've never seen more negative articles and reviews about toyota products than what we're seeing now. The common theme in this trend? Title of "World's Largest Automaker." The minute toyota hit that mark, everything started crashing down.
