If G.M. goes down, it would be a disaster, so many thousands thrown out of work, and probably a depression next. Forget recession, it would be a depression.
I don't know about all their products, but I remember my brother buying a new 1986 S15 Jimmy 4x4. He used it to get to wells that he drilled, he's a geologist drilling for oil and gas.
He went through 4 transmissions. The dealer's service people told him it wasn't made for mud muck driving. Really???
The tranny was going when he traded for something else.
In 1998 he bought a new Jimmy 4x4 4 door. Basically a new version of the '86 but with 4 doors and a 4.3 V6.
He figured they must have their problems solved by now, the tranny trouble couldn't happen again after 12 years.
But it did. It was deja-vu all over again.
He never bought a GM truck again.
On a happier note, he does have a new Malibu, and it's a nice car. We'll see how it goes. It does NOT see oil well use. Strictly street driving.
A work mate traded a 1988 GMC truck in for a new 1998, and said it has all the same rattles, sqeaks and noises in the same places as the old one. But it is a reliable truck.
Let's hope GM makes it.
And yes, they should stop outsourcing.
And there is also our neighbour with a late model Caddy. Every few months the power windows quit working. They are afraid to open the windows because they might not go back up! That has happened, in the rain.
