@alex: Yes, I would. GM isn’t the only automaker building safe, practical, and reliable family vehicles. And by the way, this anti-GM “vendetta,” as you put it, will continue ONLY if Pontiac DOESN’T return. Quite frankly, I think “vendetta” is a little too strong a term. In Economics, this is referred to as an “economic sanction.” An “economic sanction” is defined as a withholding of economic rewards (in this case, revenue) from those (in this case, GM) who refuse to emit desired production activity (in this case, bringing Pontiac back into production). In Economics, this isn’t considered a vendetta. It’s about sending “market signals.” These are signals that consumers send–via their purchases–to producers of goods and services, that these producers might make adjustments to what they offer on markets. Of course, in THIS case, we’re talking about the “market” for new autos.
