  • Wall Street Breakfast: Must-Know News [View article]
    Re: "GM cars are junk. "
    Mr. Wilberforce,
    Your perception is based on products from the 1970s. I had very bad luck with 70s GM & Fords [even worse]. Since 1983, however, GM reduced the quality gap every single year. By the 21 century, they PASSED Mercedes, Toyota and Honda in quantifiable problems. Only the JD Power first impressions survey has Lexus higher - And people, being suggestable, will never admit that they paid $50,000 for a poor-handling Camry [ES350.] But every long-term study places GM first in measurable quality. Polk has proven through registrations that all GM brands outlast the average.

    This revelational news that GMs have not been junk for the past decade may be a blow to you. Therefore, I will not tell you the news about Ford's most recent model year statistics -- you might gasp so hard that you accidentally suck in the obituaries you were just reading.

    I am sure that you did many bad things in the 1970s, too. But this is 2008.
