@alex: Life is risky. You can never totally eliminate risk. I WOULD entrust my family’s safety to an automaker other than GM. It would be a stretch, wouldn’t it, to say that non-GM automakers build unsafe vehicles. Also, HOW MUCH of the BUSINESS world ISN’T about “good-ol'” ECONOMICS?
@Grawdaddy: It’s seems to me that you’re presuming yourself to be the voice of God, making such provocative statements as, “Pontiac simply isn’t desirable” Does that you mean you raise zero websites when you Google “Bring Back Pontiac”? And what about the Pontiac loyalists on THIS thread?. Also, I’m only ONE consumer. I never suggested that my economic sanctions alone would “make a dent in GM’s balance sheet.” However, I would assume that as a business, GM would–and perhaps should–care about car buyers’ demands. And, isn’t “small, costly demands” an oxymoron? Finally, might you not be hoisting yourself on your own petard, when you mention Classic Coke? (And how’s THAT for IRONY?) At one time, no one thought THAT would return.
