First of all, I’m not your pal. Only my friends call me pal and I don’t consider you a friend nor will I ever. I don’t even know you other than that you run this site. GM has some half decent people but they are stretched doing with what they have now. They are trying so hard to impress the American public that it’s halfway pathetic but then again if you are in such a bad way PR wise then it’s understandable. They can’t handle Pontiac coming back and I’m not the only one who said this. That is what I mean. You may prop them up if you like but if they are this stretched with 4 brands then we don’t need a fifth.
You’re right, never mind that. I guess it makes people who aren’t supportive of GM un-American. Should they revoke their citizenship as well? You expect GM’s dead brand supporters to be happy that GM is successful and buy their vehicles as well. You can’t have your cake and eat it too. If they do buy GM then I don’t care but you shouldn’t expect them to be supportive of GM. Plenty of people had to pay to save GM from their sorry ways and many of those people wouldn’t dare by GM. For them, it was their hard earned money forcefully being taken from them. They would never get a return on their investment. I love Dan Akerson’s quote “GM was saved by the extreme generosity of Americans.” Really, if you want to praise the Americans (and Canadians) for compulsory generosity then so be it. It was probably best that GM was bailed out but that doesn’t mean that everybody wanted to. Chevy runs deep but not in my family (BMW runs very deep).
Thirdly, you don’t know what Pontiac I want so that makes your entire point irrelevant unless you are a mind reader.
Lastly, you can take your recommendations and shove them back into Dan Akerson’s mouth and let him choke on it. There are plenty of manual and RWD vehicles which deserve my attention (unlike the Camaro and Corvette). I do apologize I should have been more specific and said “outside of GM”. However, I will gladly consider recommendations for manual and RWD cars from foreign brands. I’m looking at a Hyundai Genesis Coupe, Subaru BRZ or even waiting longer for the next M3.
