This is why they are on the verge of bankruptcy. You'd have to go straight to the Bush administration to actually find dumber management than at GM. The only way I'd pay that much for this thing is if Jessica Alba popped out from under the steering column and blew me while I was driving. Even then I'd probably wait for the year end clearance sale. $32K V6 Faux Truck = GM is on crack.

No wonder americans get the crap cars they do, they want a big, powerful V8 that do 0-60 in 4 seconds but its gotta get 50MPG. You cant have it both ways, you also dont understand the concept of certain vehicles. Thats why you get V8 hybrids that drive like a fridge, whats the point?! At laest aussies and europeans know what they want, thats why they get the good cars.
