Famous journalist and TV personality Geraldo Rivera has written a column on the problems at General Motors. Rivera slams Lori Queen, a GM executive, for “whining” about poor Consumer Reports ratings, rather than making better cars. “The real problem for GM, and Ford for that matter, is that too many of their cars are crap.” However, Rivera still likes some American cars. “Note that I specifically exclude Chrysler from the melancholy list. Having bought one of the sharp 300’s, I think it’s the one American-based (although German-owned) auto company that still has spunk.” Rivera agrees with CR’s analysis of many card from Ford and GM. “Among the lowest rated vehicles on the Consumer Reports list are the once mighty, now tired, Ford Taurus , the homely Pontiac Grand Prix, and the dreadful Chevy Equinox. And unless you live in Kabul or Baghdad, isn’t the Hummer the ugliest, dumbest vehicle on the road today?” Since publishing the column, Rivera has posted some reader feedback on his thoughts.
