Here's something to bring a tear to your eye...

10-to-1 your 10-to-1 is off a wee bit, Hylton. Your visit, 6 weeks ago in Kingston, was to a shining example of a Dealer who won't come close to filling the void...and he's only one of many in the same pickle...

As for GM emulating Toyota, say it isn't so... You mean, after 25 years together, GM is finally learning something? If GM had paid a little closer attention to Kettering, 55 years ago, and Toyota for the last 25, no telling what the auto landscape might look like today. For GM and for Toyota (without his input)...

People WILL drive for a quality experience; they will NOT drive for a rebate, only. And the perception of Toyota, even now, far surpasses that of GM, much to many people's dismay and outright anger, here...

NOT because I say so, it's just the way it is... "World's Greatest Marketing", someone on here said tongue-in-cheek about Toyota on another thread...and that, my friends, just may be true. So the comments, here, about "product', NOT marketing, is only one part of GM's problems to overcome, and ALL those problems properly and demonstably overcome will be long after most Pontiac/Olds/Saturn/SAAB/HUMMER owners are dead and gone...

RIP

For those of you with a few spare hours on your hands, read "Crash Course". Very illuminating...
