I love our 1996 Suburban but chose to recently buy a Lincoln Navigator. Will never buy another GM car. Love the Navigator.

[Revolting cat!]

An Opel I'd hit.

I’m strictly Acura/Toyota. Reliable as can be. My Sequoia has 160,000 and is still in perfect shape. My Acura TSX is the best car I’ve ever owned.

[cookcounty]

Yup, no GM or Chrysler for me...

When the government sends me a check for the damage, I’ll reconsider.

I have a Honda and a Ford, and like them both.

Ford has the Expedition el, an expanded version, thats nearly identical dimension/ wheelbase as suburban, instead of excursion.

This happened to my 80 year old Dad, who lost 90% on the value of his GM bonds, which he was going to use for his retirement. He lost about $200,000. GM? Dead to me...

[Iron head mike]

I’m definately hanmging on to my ‘08 silverado, just love it!

[Iron head mike]

I’m definately hanging on to my ‘08 silverado, just love it!

[plain talk]

I quit buying GM in the 80s. I like toyota.

[nascarnation]

Your Dad was getting very bad investment advice. It was pretty obvious GM was going to auger in at least a year before they went bk.

[stevio]

I won’t buy one.

[tanknetter]

Not sure what I will replace it with in a couple of years. Ford quit making the Excursion. But I know it won’t be a Gubment Motors product.

Ford pulled a really sly fast-one with getting rid of the Excursion. They were taking a lot of flak over it, and given that it went against their stated direction of becoming more eco-friendly, they announced - in a VERY big way - that it was going to be discontinued. Lefties cheered! Focuses were sold!

THEN they came out with an expanded/extended version of the Expedition that's basically an Excursion with different sheet-metal tweaking and a different nameplate.

I simply WILL NOT buy a car made from UAW people (or any unionized people).

I want the people that put together my car to love their company and their job, rather than HATE their company and this country.

That simple.

Had a 2011 Camaro as a rental for a week. I agree it is a beautiful machine with a ferocious amount of power but I couldn’t get over feeling as though I was sitting in a bathtub the whole time I was driving it.

[geege]

LOL.....Never thought of it as having a bathtub feel to it but I’ll judge that for myself whenever I can afford to buy one(:
