    Agreed.
  • Still waiting for GM to be hit with a $1billion dollar fine for doing the same thing Toyota was said to have done. Oh wait, the government wouldn't fine themselves, only those who compete for sales. ;)

    And since that also means it didn't effect diesel doolies, it's not relevant to "tow vehicles"


    Can a weenie car pull a pop up camper?

    If so, isn't that a 'tow vehicle' :@

  • How is an extra paid vacation considered a disciplinary action? They learned something from govt ownership I guess.

    I agree this doesn't belong in tow vehicles, but got slammed by the GM fanboys yesterday for saying an article about Buick/Cadillac didn't belong here either.
  • How many of you truly believe a couple of engineers orchestrated the cover up? No operation that big does a design change that costs money and affects production without many levels of oversight.

  • How come I never worked for companies that put you on paid administrative leave when you screwed up? These days it seems people get re-assigned and then end up with a promotion and pay raise! Hope I am not being too controversial.
