So now you/he are going to key every BMW or Honda in Michigan because, by God, it's un-American to use your brain and not piss away money on cars that fall apart and depreciate faster than GM stock?? I'm from Steeler country and I can assure you I'm far more "American" than you pretend to be. This country became great becasue it gives people the opportunity to compete and, if they do it well, succeed. Not because it subscribes to a protectionist policy that guarantees they will win no matter how sorry assed their product is. So you want to talk about busting China's chops for manipulating their currency to an unfair trade advantage? Fine, I'll stand with you. But you want to call me un-American or handcuff my wallet and tell me I can't buy a superior product to a GM? Screw you. What's next, a federal law to allow the Lions to play 15 men against the Steelers? Get real. GM is exactly where it deserves to be. Hey “Need More Oil” -

The string is attached to the ball and an unbelievable amount of servos following a tiny while where the sting goes through...which is all controlled by one computer. I actually find NMOFGM's statement to be making fun of the US when he writes, "GM AN American Revolution!" GM is going down, which coincides with US's economy going down. If you think GM is leading the american revolution(tumbling economy), and you approve of GM, you must also be loving our current economy! You know what I got to say to you? Here it is- FNCK OFF!

NEVER COMING BACK! Many Americans like myself waiting patiently for it to happen. Just like your POS Honda, Germany does not belong here. They should not have the rights to sell their POS vehicles here in America. Americans should not have the rights to buy any vehicles from Germany as it contributes to foreign economies rather than our own. And that goes for any unAmerican assshole who actually is stupid enough to go work for these coksuckers. Americans need to stick by our own and continue to make GM great again. Bk or not, GM is coming back with a vengence and will be back to the 50% marketshare befoee long becasue everyone would rather drive an American made vehicle from General Motors. it's unAmerican to drive imports. Slowly but surely the message is becomeing clear. Witness GM's skyrocketing sales and the continuing decline of POS japcrap brands like Toyota and Honda. Witness GM's pinnacle of quality, reliability and desirablity while models from those failed brands don't sell without huge incentives. Get with the program. GM is the Standard of the World.
