    • Was July the Bottom for Auto Sales? [view article]
      This is the most intelligent Seeking Alpha piece I've read...ever. Sep 05 12:50 PM
    • General Motors: The Next Delisting from the Dow? [view article]
      Unlike the U.S., Asian and European countries are committed to supporting their auto industries and ensuring their success. When (not if) GM returns to profitability and strength, it will do so in spite of the Federal Government and media bashers, not because of them. Sep 05 12:46 PM
    • Sharing Speculative Interest in GM [view article]
      I bought and meticulously maintained a new 2004 Toyota Sienna and it cost me nearly $3,000 in unwarranted repairs before it hit 70K miles. So spare me the "Toyota-is-wonder... schtick. The dealership was arrogant and uncooperative as hell. I'll never own another. I've owned much better U.S. brands. Aug 27 02:31 PM
    • Automakers: Seeking Billions from Uncle Sam [view article]
      It's not "inevitable"... GM and Ford have segment-leading cars (Malibu. Fusion, etc.) and thriving businesses overseas. If the Federal Government started working with (instead of against) our domestic auto industry, it would become healthy much sooner. Aug 23 07:11 AM
    • Sick and Tired of Financials, Carmakers Blaming Everyone but Themselves [view article]
      Thankfully, this useless article was a short one. Where in God's name does Seeking Alpha get know-nothings like this ranting fool? Aug 22 12:19 PM
    • GM Goes Lean to Stay Ahead of Toyota [view article]
      The Prius and the Volt have several major differences. The Prius has a nickel-cadmium battery and utilizes its gas engine to power the drive train at higher RPM's. The Volt will have a more-powerful lithium-ion battery and its gas engine ONLY re-charges the battery. It could conceivably never need the gas engine if no more than 40 miles are driven on a single over-night charge. Not so with the Prius, which is NOT a true purely electric car like the Volt.

    • The US Auto Crisis [view article]
      Lots of truth in this article. Had lots of big $$$ mechanical and electrical problems with my two Chrysler mini-vans, in spite of regular mainenance, but my 2004 Toyota Sienna was a JOKE: $3,000 in repairs before 70K miles. It came with Toyota's exclusive "if it broke down, you did it" attitude. Such arrogance, and misplaced public perception. Jul 21 08:27 AM
    • Is General Motors Closer to a Default? [view article]
      BioInvestor, if you believe the US economy is "humming along", you and I have a huge perception gap. Jul 02 02:05 AM
    • Is General Motors Closer to a Default? [view article]
      Oh, please. Camrys, Accords, Sequoias, and Tundras do not get 40mpg, city OR highway. And if you need to haul drywall, cement, farm products, or lumber for a living you cannot do it with something that gets 40mpg, either...unless you're willing to drive an ox cart. Jul 01 01:18 PM
    • Is General Motors Closer to a Default? [view article]
      My apologies. I just read Mr. Pezzutti's bio and learned that he "is a Commander in the Italian Navy, specializing in telecommunications&quo... Mama Mia!!! Impeccable qualifications for being a U.S. auto industry pundit!!! Jun 30 11:18 PM
    • Is General Motors Closer to a Default? [view article]
      What a load of crap: "Low quality, low quality/cost ratio, lack of attractiveness of products". My well-maintained 2004 Toyota Sienna required nearly $3,000 of electronic and mechanical repairs before 70,000 miles. Even during the warranty period, my Toyota dealer took a "you did it" attitude. GM has the J.D. Power award and several categories and three (3) GM vehicles made the Motor Trend "top ten" (No Toyota made the list). If "Paolo Pezzutti" is going to write about the auto industry, he should read a little bit about it, too. Jun 30 11:09 PM
    • How I Plan to Trade My Depressed GM Stock [view article]
      I leased a 2004 Toyota Sienna and suffered almost $3,000 in electronic and mechnanical repairs, all due to component failures, before 70,000 miles. Even in the warranty period, Toyota dealers take a "you did it" attitude. Japanese vehicles are tremendously overrated and trading off of a 20-year-old reputation, just as the Detroit car makers are suffering from the bad product of 20 years ago. The facts have changed. The perception hasn't. Jun 27 05:16 PM
    • Strong Global Push Means GM Likely to Succeed in the Long Run [view article]
      GM, Ford, and Chrysler: near bankruptcy. Toyota, Nissan, Honda: flush with cash and gaining market share. How did ALL 3 American companies fail, and ALL 3 Japanese firms win? Yes, the American industry made mistakes and was burdened by much higher labor costs, but it was ultimately the victim of a U.S. government policy to give the industry away to our largest creditor: The New Empire of Japan.

    • Is the Chevy Cobalt as Good as a Hybrid? [view article]
      "Have Toyota replace it under warranty. What will you do if your gas powered engine blows?"

      You don't seem to recall the class action lawsuit that finally forced Toyota to replace those sludge-filled engines of theirs.       Jun 21 02:20 PM
    • How Will UAW Strike Impact GM's Chevy Malibu? [view article]
      I have lost any remaining respect for the UAW. The union hijacked a critical new GM product in order to advance its own selfish agenda. The writing has been on the wall for a long time: companies and workers can only win by being competitive. GM did it with the Malibu. The union is trying to win by stealing it. May 09 12:36 PM
