the news could be worse. it shows that
gm is “short sighted”; but it also shows
that gm hasn’t completely lost it.

the only thing keeping me clinging to the
brand (after the 9-2x/9-7x b.s.) is the
hope that the 9-3x, with a 6-speed, manual
box, will see the light of day.

No arguments there, Tim. My 99′s got 320,000k and still going strong. Reliability and quality are both something GM’s going to have to overcome if they really want it to be the premium global brand.

Im glad to own 2 cars built in Sweeden. And the GM exects must be smokin crack if they think that where the production matters. The Saab plant turns out fewer cars but the quality is higher than Opel. I have heard from friends in Europe that Opels are not that good. I will not buy a German Saab.
My 1996/900S 2.3 non turbo has currently has 240,000 Km. on the dial. The 2004 9/5 has only about 12,000 Km. on it. I am extremely pleased with both quality of components and construction. Thanks again to the folks that have brought these fine products to me.

damn GM to h*ll…

not a dime to this company… they lack culture, respect, and dedication to hard work. no need to apologize for their business decisions.
