I'd drop Dodge -- nm - ty97 Oct 29, 10:39
I've heard them suggest killing Buick, though I thought that was a strong brand.. -- nm - ty97 Oct 29, 10:37 1
- I think there's alot of loyalty in the Buick brand -- nm - kilboooo Oct 29, 10:38
half of all models and the less selling half would the best idear -- nm - DaneDukeNuuk Oct 29, 10:32
Pontiac. Just...Pontiac. - JaxSean Oct 29, 10:29 1
- Good call, on both fronts. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 29, 10:30
the brands still have value. they should just be sold after bankruptcy to the highest bidder...nm - x Oct 29, 10:26 10
- I bid five dolla. -- nm - Don Homer Oct 29, 10:27 9
  - tata motors of india has already bought jaguar and land rover, and has made googly eyes at chrysler's jeep line....nm - x Oct 29, 10:29 8
    - I doubt GM/Chrysler will give up Jeep - it's on of the few money makers I believe -- nm - decline Oct 29, 10:36 2
      - cerberus has been actively shopping it. renault, fiat and tata are all interested....nm - x Oct 29, 10:41 1
        
        GM Canada should take it, and just spin themselves off as a separate entity just making Jeeps. - Beryllium Oct 29, 10:44
    - an indian company making Jeeps? Man, they'll be as safe as they were in 1965. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 29, 10:30 4
      - tata motors is an excellent company with worldwide operations. they'll be standing long after gm, chrysler and ford are gone...nm - x Oct 29, 10:31 3
        
        I have no doubt. I was just making a joke about safety standards in India. (Which are far better than the standards at that chinese version of tata) -- nm - Beryllium Oct 29, 10:33
        
        plus their name is amusing to say. -- nm - Reagen Oct 29, 10:31 1
        
        Bodacious tata motors. -- nm - Inigo Oct 29, 10:38
All of them. I don't know who in their right mind would buy a vehicle from either company. -- nm - Don Homer Oct 29, 10:26 4
- I paid $11k for my brand new Cobalt. I can't complain. 30mpg and it works. -- nm - kilboooo Oct 29, 10:33
- seriously. I'd only ever be in the market for a Mini at this point. -- nm - znufrii Oct 29, 10:30
- I'd buy a cheap jeep, but that's about the extent of it. - Beryllium Oct 29, 10:28 1
  - (Well, I mean, a 4x2 would work for me, of course - but it doesn't make sense to buy a 4x2 jeep :)) -- nm - Beryllium Oct 29, 10:29
if they're killing the Escalade, are they also killing this much hyped hybrid-Escalade? - Reagen Oct 29, 10:25 9
- "I get 16 mpg, I'm saving the environment, bay-beeeee!!!!" -- nm - Don Homer Oct 29, 10:26 8
  - I'd rather them get that than 7. -- nm - Reagen Oct 29, 10:29 7
    - If a manufactuer was serious about hybrids, stop selling the regular version and only sell the hybrid version. -- nm - JaxSean Oct 29, 10:30 6
      - And then watch as people stop buying cars because they don't want to pay the 10k extra? -- nm - kilboooo Oct 29, 10:32 1
        
        But they won't have the option to pay $10k *less*. - JaxSean Oct 29, 10:35
      - I was interested in the Ford Escape and Mercury Mariner hybrids, but I'm out of the market for the time being -- nm - Beryllium Oct 29, 10:32 3
        
        I loved the redesigned Mariner - but the seats were horribly uncomfortable. - JaxSean Oct 29, 10:34 2
        
        Meh, probably better off with the Camry anyway. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 29, 10:35 1
        
        I'm sure. -- nm - JaxSean Oct 29, 10:36
yes -- nm - Count Beakula Oct 29, 10:25 1
- ysmm! -- nm - znufrii Oct 29, 10:25
How about all of them? -- nm - ceregon Oct 29, 10:25
Cobalt. That's about it. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 29, 10:25 2
- Hey. I like my Cobalt. Get rid of the Aveo! -- nm - kilboooo Oct 29, 10:29
- (Replace the Cobalt with the Avenger, IMO) -- nm - Beryllium Oct 29, 10:25
