Re: NY Times Gets Opinions on GM Killing Pontiac-
I dont thick you can place all the blame on GM. To me its a combination (so called perfect storm) where the problem lies with GM's business policy, Labors overburden and Washingtons over regulation. I think GM missed the boat with the small car movement and allowed foreign cars to grab a foot in the market, even a late start would have been better than the lethargic pace they had in that area.
I have never owned anything but a GM until my last truck which was a Ford.I have to say I have been happy with all of them.
I think part of the problem is people no longer realize that a car needs to be maintained. I think the public in general treats the like a TV set or other electronic appliance which you can use for years without maintenance. Then when something goes wrong they dont understand the concept of wearing parts.
