I agree that if GM started making fantastic, ultra reliable cars today that it would take 10 years to turn things around profit wise. But we have to face facts, GM has made and continues to make cars that aren't up to the competition in many cases, trucks excluded. Ridden in a 2004 Impala lately and then compared it to a 2004 Camry or Accord? The two Japanese cars have the Impala beat out in almost every way, build quality, fit and finsih, ergonomics, interior quality, you name it. It's not just in that class either. Been in an Equinox, it's a piece of crap compared to a RAV4 a CRV or a Forester. Compare a Corolla or Civic to a Cavailer, a Blazer to a 4-runner or a Pilot. Hell even compare any GM minivan to a Sienna or a Odessy, and tell me the general public, (not car nuts) will say the GM is superior in any case.

GM's own decision to not truly compete with the Japanese auto makers, coupled with their decisons that have made their customers downright despise their cars will be their downfall.



In the order of fairness... Subaru is largely a part of GM, just like Isuzu and Suzuki.
