I'm sorry if I don't take a magazine article and religiously follow it like it was written by some god. There have been dozens of articles posted here against GM and you run to defend them 9 out of 10 times. Yet, me not believing an article is somehow "bad". Funny how that works out. |
I didnt say anything about following any article in a religious nature.
It has nothing to do with this specific article, but your general outlook on this whole situation.
Dozens of articles against GM? Show me them, and show me my defense of GM whole heartedly and as blind as you. Do I try to correct some misnomers in some articles, or come out against op-eds, then yes.
Your reaction to any of the articles posted ranged from laughing at the thought, to total dismissal?
I dont expect you to follow any brand, but your blindeness on this whole issue of Toyota making faulity product is hilarious. You shrug it off, but then pull out issues some 30+ years ago from GM, to say that they also made bad products. You dont have to bash it, but you dismissal of all the articles sure comes off as you defending them to boarderline apologetic for them.

What would be a better move, of you great PR person? Since we are on a subject of roll overs, can you name me a car that received WORSE roll over rating than a Ford Explorer, in early 2000's? I'll give you a hint, Ford got 2 starts and was sued for millions, this awesome product was ONE, ONE!!!, star and nothing was done about it, if I remember correctly. Is that the right move? Just continue producing junk?

First off, the line was a mention that the GX is an unsafe vehicle, and that it should be haulted. Im not saying it SHOULDNT have been, it was more sarcasim in your general attitude that this is just really a big joke.
A Ford Explorer was not from the 00's, but late 90's, over a decade ago, that had more to do with stupid drivers not checking tire pressures for low grade tires. The problem is that the Explorers were top heavy, and the A/B/C/D pillars were not strong enough to hold the car up.
But Ford fixed it, lowerd its center of gravity, and they dont flip over anymore. They also replaced millions of Firestone tires for free.
