There only way to get money.buy selling the only thing gm had exclusive to them

Huge mistake on GM’s part. This is the only thing that they had that was a key selling feature over other brands.

Note on the coffee table… check.

Gun to head…. check.

Sell off our #1 selling point….. check. (Gotta pay the execs with something)

Pull the trigger……

GM is going to be down for years to come.

Praying for a coup d’stat at GM.

I don’t want the f-ing thing anyway.

Onstar is like satrad – I don’t want either on my vehicle

You people are idiots, you know that? Just because GM is offering Onstar to other car makers doesn’t make their cars any more desireable. It is just one feature, and buyers will still overlook it just to get in to a GM vehicle which is about more than just Onstar. Other automakers can’t come close to matching GM in quality, dependibility and performance so whether or not they offer Onstar will just be more profits in GM’s pockets with no loss of sales. It is a win-win setup.

Buy American. Buy GM. It is your duty

NMOGM, you are right, that is why we don’t deserve GM cars. GM will keep cars and we keep the money.

In reality, cell phones and GPS makes on-star redundant.

Need more oil for GM your an idiot. Plan and simple.

Actually OnStar is a pretty neat system. Need More Kool Aid from GM, how come you never speak of resale value on GM?

People who keep up their OnStar subscriptions are probably the same ones who payed the dealer 700 bucks to have their new vehicle ‘rustproofed’.

I should change my name to need more Duct tape to keep Need more oil for GM’s MOUTH shut (and hands secured away from a keyboad)! GM does NOT have a better track record for reliability than any of the other American car companies, and none of the major japanese car companies….I will agree and admit they are better than Jaguar, possibly better than Suzuki and Isuzu andDaewoo (which they own a chunk of all three)…. GM had thier best years in the late 60’s and early 70’s….. thunder chicken, BLazer, Camaro………….. Now, besides some good loking sedans (malibu and the Aura), they dont have anyhting to offer…..And don’t mention the SS cobalt…. its cheap its fast, and it looks like you bought it cause you couldnt afford a honda or a mazda or a subaru! The HHR had potential untill you drive it, Its likes a coffin, low ceiling and your so far from the windshield……… but it does look cool on the outside, for a inport with an american name! SO NMOFGM….. please stop sucking the Teet of GM…………… its really boring and getting to the point of STUPID (oh wait it passed that too)

Onstar was cool in an emergency, but its also a tool for big brother……. do you want to have some one always know where you are and what you are doing? No me!

I have had Onstar on my past 3 cars and I only used it twice.
Once- to talk to someone at 2:00 in the morning driving from San Diego,CA to Santa Cruz,CA and diden’t want to wake up any friends.
second- A business partner of mine took my keys of my desk to use a key and left the office with them. I needed to get something out of my car and he could’nt make it back to the office in time and I called Onstar and they onlocked my doors.
Also does’nt Onstar call the police for you when you get in a crash? I would have to say that’s a good system.
As for the people that think people only by GM cars just because of Onstar. You are right that is the only reason I bought my CTS-V. Had nothing to do with the fact that it smokes almost every car on the road.

@ Need more oil, what do you know, your just a lot porter. Go wash a car, and day dream it’s yours…

Need oil stop day dreaming….

sure you have a cts-v! i have a veyron! wanna race? onstar is the only thing that comes out of gm that someone doesn’t already have

I do if you want to come to the house i’ll even let you sit in it.
Or if you want to bring your civic I’ll let you see the back of it.( ALL DAY F*G)

OnStar can listen in on conversations, and with the American government having become Big Brother, that’s kind of scary.

CADDY-V,
my comment was actually towards Need more oil for GM. It makes sense for you to have a ctz-v since your name is CADDY-V!

OnStar can’t hear the conversations if you’re wearing half a roll of aluminum foil around your head. Secondly, its not the gov’t listening in on you, its the NCAA. By some fluke in a legal dispute, the National College Athletic Association gained eavesdropping capability in all OnStar equipped passenger vehicles.

By using this capability, they’ve made the decision to keep opting out of a true college football championship set up. That’s who is listening to you in your Malibu.

I thought about that abter I sent it. He had copied what I siad.
My Bad

every company will have a version of their own in 2-7 years so better for GM to sell it to them and make a profit.

Does this mean I have to fill out the annoying paper work regarding OnStar at my dealership? And also get annoying emails from the OnStar represenative?

When I was looking to get my wife’s Chevy….. ya I know…… That was one option I did not want simply because of the at the time $65.bucks a month. I felt that the trucks blue tooth will covered all that the on star can do. And ya it can, but the Crash alert… And now that I think of it, I think I’ll look in it some more.

But still, it will only be some time before they will finger out a way to have crash alert available as a extra for your cell/car/ something or other… You know what I mean….

Onstar is garbage along with GM’s ****ty quality.

“Just because GM is offering Onstar to other car makers doesn’t make their cars any more desireable.”

NMOFGM got something right, finally. On-Star in other cars doesn’t make GM cars any more desirable.

I like OnStar. I’d like to retrofit my car with it. I wonder if that’s possible. The ability to monitor problems and run diagnostics is really cool to me, and having an online maintenance record is something I can use. I’d feel a lot better about my family driving around if I had something like OnStar installed in my family car.

@ JohnnyC

Yeah, anyone who pays that much for rust proofing is an idiot. I got mine half off for $350 and that included fabric guarding the leather seats and paint sealent. Pssh, 700 dollars.

^sarcasm^

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH NMOFGM says he has a CTS-V. In your dreams.

NFOFGM is that Jap loving 1115 !

Well, at least it’s a way for them to make money. Everyone’s scrambling to keep afloat, I can’t really blame them.

Although as for GM reliability and service, my friend has bad experiences with them. He’s got an Ion that had a bad fuel pump. Cost him $800 to get that fixed cause they wouldn’t cover it under warranty. Then his timing chain broke, they wanted god knows how much for that so he and his brother did it. He misses his Topaz, it never gave him trouble.

Still, it’s good to see that GM is at least trying to get some much-needed funding.

BMW assist with satnav is better, from experience, owning both a gmc and a BMW, the BMW system is easier to use and free for 4 yrs instead of 1. On top of that, Who actually ever uses either. I’ve used BMW assist twice, once because the tire pressure monitors were acting up and once because I couldn’t get the car to turn over (the clutch wasnt all the way down… I’m an idiot). I’ve used onstar once. I was lost in the hills of west virginia… I know scary. I was misdirected and it took twenty minutes to get a real person on the phone.
