No title

By Jim Mateja F ool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. Pontiac vowed to revive its performance heritage with the GTO in 2004, but the "Goat" lasted only two model years, notching just 50,000 ...

GM's marketing campaign for this car is bad.

I predict that this model will flourish initially and then meet the same demise as the recently put to rest GTO.

Good horsepower combined with average styling and below average fuel economy, build quality, and sub par warranties are not a recipe for success.

Nice try.

Mateja said: "Acceleration is straight and sure without jiggle, very reassuring when the speedometer tops 90 m.p.h. before, with apologies to tree huggers and the constabulary, we ease off the pedal."

Well...Happy Earth Hour to you too, Mateja! Whatta schmuck!

This gas hog excuse for a car will tank when gas hits $5/gallon.

GM is nothing but a flop, regardless of which brand they are selling. They should studdy the successful brands such as Toyota and Honda. Maybe then there cars will be worth something and have resale value.

In return for 15mpg around town, this car does zero to 60 in 5.3 seconds. That's just a bit slower than my motorcycle, which gets 50mpg around town. I think I'll keep the bike...

It's good to see the USA taking such a high quality mass produced product that was developed and manufactured here in Australia - we've got plenty more uniquely Australian produced cars to share with the world.......

Just ask!

We are very concerned about mileage in the States, what have you got besides thirsty petrol-guzzlers?

listen new to country -if you were doing such a great job and offering such great products Michigan wouldn't be where it's at today - stop pushing your farce and try to design and build something marketable...your resale values (or lack thereof) tell the whole story - case closed.
