GM Spin

Have you seen the new GM commercials, advertising their trucks through the years, and how they have helped "build America"? And at the end they make a comment to the effect of "if we are going to rebuild America" that GM's trucks, by golly, will lead the way to salvation?

And, as a loyal GM owner, I received a letter from GM in the mail a couple of days ago. Instead of an admission of inept management and decades to bring forth a good reliable fuel efficient auto at a reasonable price, and instead of admitting that they were bankrupt, they offered this spin...

"As you may know, GM is using an expedited, court-supervised process to accelerate the reinvention of our company. At the core of that reinvention is a commitment that we will put the customer first in all that we do - ..."

Okay, I get it. You built lousy cars in the 70's, 80's, 90's and into the 00's and now, only through "an expedited, court-supervised process to accelerate [your] reinvention" and a gobsmacking from the Democrats that now control you, you are finally realizing something needs to be done to compete with the Japanese automakers et al.

Guess what? Keep the rest of the GM points that I have earned from my GM credit card. I will not be redeeming them. After owning, lets see...I believe the number is 11 GM made vehicles, I am not going to be loyal any longer. Good bye GM. You have gone from the creator of such greatness as the Cadillac, Corvette and my beloved 1972 Grand Prix into Toilet Motors, on your own accord, and are now controlled by the US Government. I will not buy a vehicle from a government controlled, taxpayer funded GM.
