Purchasing a Chevrolet after the bailout

How do you camaro owners feel about it, and have you had anyone say anything negative to you about it while your out and about? Just curious.

This can get out of hand FAST....so I'll just warn everyone now....keep things in check.

I don't care. For many....LONG reasons...but simply put -- it wasn't a bailout, they're still GM/Chevy...and in fact, better than ever. So why should it matter?

What happened happened. Live with it.

Hell, I slapped GM badges on my Envoy after the bankruptcy.

I should make note that this was not what I meant when I said "I don't care". The bankruptcy does not effect my decision, is what I should have said.

His Civic which was assembled in a factory in the United States that received tax subsidies and other incentives from the government for its construction?

Meanwhile in Japan...everyone there is still loyal to their country's industries.

Well I suppose the two sides will depend whether your views are conservative or liberal. I just couldn't purchase a GM or Chrysler product based on the fact that I don't want any of my money going towards a company that thinks it's okay for the American people to pay for it's mistakes. That and when I saw their commercial about how GM "paid off their debt", which was nothing more than a lie mind you, I really lost a lot of respect for GM as a whole.

So you don't want a GM product...yet you're on a GM-related website...why?

I never said you owned one. I'm merely questioning why you would join a GM-related website when you clearly don't want anything to do with the company.

Makes zero sense.

I edited my post, I like GM cars. The LSX motor is awesome. I feel the company is a sham though.
