No one is going to buy a Chevy over a Honda or Toyota unless they only drive Chevys and watch NASCAR If they want import buyers in Malibus they have to offer a deal undercutting the price much like Hyundai does and by raising their prices they are doing the Opposite of that Well Razor bumps

Ford at least has the Mustang. And as for GM well, in no particular order...G8, Vette, Cobalt SS, Impala SS, Solstice and soon to be, Camaro. Yes, Toyota is the moneymaker and offers a well rounded lineup, but it is not exciting. They used to be. If they ever decide to be again life could be interesting. Playing catch up, however, is not as easy at it seems even when you have money. autonut: have to half disagree with you on this one. Ford at least has the Mustang.

However, Ford has very dull list to pick off and they don't make money like Toyota. And there is very little to jump about at GM dealership as well, unless you are into trucks. We have dull lineups from losers and moneymakers. There is a hope that moneymakers will produce something in the future. Losers, we have to see. johnny, true.

I bought a 2006 vehicle in 2007 and the price depreciate by 50%. Why buy new to take the hit?
