The other guy said "brilliant fellas.. argue with a car salesman..." He didn't say anything of worth at all, just some more GM trash talk. Like I said typical ET.Quote from Rehoboth:
What on earth are you talking about? Most of this discussion is either about the battery/warranty or the cost effectiveness of this car. Yes there is the gm=shit talk, but besides that people have very good points which you cant answer; which is fine, you answer what you dont know. So what points are you saying? Because I really want this car to work, but as a representative, you are doing a terrible job.

Explain this to a potential chevy customer first:

Window get stuck ok, AC broke fine, transmission goes bad tough luck. Steering wheel falls over while going 65MPH. And this is from the "new and improved" GM. I think the chinese BYD engineers are laughing their ass off.
Just admit you are working for a dead company that's the laughingstock of this country and move on.
Quote from StonewallJ:
This is the first ever trading thread I have read with multiple GM truck fans. I hope you need a truck for work b/c otherwise there is no reason to buy one. My first car was a Pontiac Grand Prix GTP and I learned fast that sadly the USA, the industrial power that won WWII, now makes sh*tty automotive products. If you want quality go German. As an American not proud to say it, but its true. The unions destroyed our auto industry.

Hey Chevy fans, who is the best selling truck maker for thirty-four years in a row?
Tell me.
Quote from Magic8:
Best selling... doesn't mean better.

Chevy blew the doors off Ford. Read and weep.
Keep in mind that GM sells the same truck under two different names - Silverado and Sienna. I really don't care about bashing Ford, they are putting out some really good products.Quote from BSAM:
LOL...Some test, somewhere. Big deal.
Thirty-four years, Mr. Magic. Thirty-four years! Now that's impressive!

Yes sorry, I meant Sierra. The truth is almost any car you buy these days is a good one. It's really just about your preference. But it seems Chevy, Ford, Hyundai, and Subaru are really leading the pack. When somebody comes in to drive a Cruze, I ask them what else they are considering. Usually before they answer, I say the Focus and Elantra, right? They give me a weird look and ask me how did I know. I've lost a few deals to them, but I'm sure I have swiped a few as well. It's funny, they never mention Honda or Toyota. My dealership also sells Honda's. It's really no comparison between the two. Mr Opportunity can keep knocking, but it seems nobody's home.Quote from BSAM:
Hmmm...Perhaps you meant "Sierra", since "Sienna" is a Toyota minivan. Maybe your dealer carries Toyotas also? Otherwise, thanks for your honesty concerning Ford.
