Apparently it’s never been made clear to you that American Automakers don’t count as actual functioning companies on this website.  Rather, we should all buy a truck from a company that has little history of making trucks, and is still clawing it’s way back from one of the greatest corporate cover ups of all time. …

Electric cars have been “inevitable” for a long time now and are still a minuscule fraction of the market. I’m pretty confident I’ll be able to buy brand new internal combustion engine cars for the rest of my life (I’m 34).

Lots of variables here. Hell, the mortgage interest rates have dropped back to 4% down from almost 5% - maybe people are buying homes rather than super-priced new cars. When a Suburban (my vehicle of choice) now costs invoice $62,000 + TTL, you, as a manufacturer, might make some great bucks up front, but slowly…

Blaming Trump really isn’t the answer. Shit got too high, and wages haven’t kept up.

“Gosh, have I heard lots of complaints about this year’s tax returns.”

That’s why I come here less and less often. Too much editorializing, not enough fact based information presented.  Some of the writers are much better about this than others.

Yeah.. and you have to go to a body shop to get the metal framed glass welded to your vehicle...

Imagine a future where a cracked windshield costs $4000 to replace!

I think you’re reading the right things from this. Jalopnik isn’t GM’s biggest fan and nothing is going to change that.

This is Jalopnik. Business bad. Unions good. Real communism hasn’t be tried yet.

Who would have thought that!?!?

Because it’s GM doing it.

THANK YOU! I came to say the same. GM’s main problem is that everyone hates GM and no matter what they do it will never be good enough. 

This is Jalopnik, GM is always bad here. GM makes affordable, manual, RWD sports cars? Their interiors aren’t as nice as cars 10x the price, so clearly they suck and are awful. I think GM could end world hunger and Jalopnik would find a way to complain about it.

So we bash GM for not trimming the fat then we bash GM for trimming the fat.

Logic need not apply when trying to make a point.

1st and 2nd gear are a bit at odds with each other today. PSA cuts 3700 hundred jobs and gets praised for screwing over unions to generate profits for a failing former GM brand. GM tries to do something similar to save its own current brands and everyone’s like, “Hey, GM’s trying to screw over the unions! Grrrr!”

I’m not an expert, so can someone explain to me why GM trying to close unprofitable plants is a bad thing? I understand that it is bad for the workers, but if the plant isn’t making the company money, it seems like a really bad business decision to keep it open. It seems like GM sees another recession coming, and…

Just remember, GM bad
