11/19 if someone gave you a new GM car, would you take it?
\_ Do I have to pay taxes on it?
\_ If it was a corvette, almost certainly (even if I had to pay tax).
\_ I think this is precisely the point. I'm sorry, but problem with
GM is NOT the current financial crisis. They have not be able
to make attractive AND reliable product for decades.
I am in China right now, and I see *PLENTY* of small, fuel
efficient car made by GM. I just don't understand why don't
they just import those back to US again.

\_ Maybe those cars can only get one star in NHTSA crash tests.
tests.
\_ and that is not GM's problem? GM should of made their car
globally accessable a long time ago.

\_ Yes it would be GM's problem. I'm just saying that
this might be GM's reason for not importing those cars
back to the US. -- PP
\_ The other part of the problem is that no matter how good and
attractive GM cars may be, there are plenty of people who
"bought American" to be supportive and patriotic at some
point and got stuck with lemons. If you've ever bought a
bad car, you're very likely to never buy that manufacturer's
cars again. Similarly for friends of people who have
bought lemons.
\_ Is this like when I date white women?
\_ Exactly. White women are like American sportscars.
They're fast and fun in the beginning but they give
you a lot of problems down the road. Asian women
on the other hand are like Japanese sportscars.
They're not as wild and loud as American sportscars
but they sure last a long time. |
