  2. Never said or thought that.GM was at one point the largest company in the world. And their bankruptcy was completely their own doing. Their trail of errors goes all the ways back to the early 60's.My Dad was a GM guy but by 1976,he had all he could take of GM garbage and he bought a Datsun. ANd Datsun never let him down. Back in the early 70's all of the Big Three sent high ranking people out to the west coast to have a look at the "import phenomenon ". They all decided that the Datsun's, Toyota's and Honda's rolling of the ships were a "fad". They returned to Detroit and re-inserted their heads up their asses. When they finally were forced to pull them out,the best they could offer was the Pinto & the Vega. And until someone takes a flamethrower to the 14th floor,nothing will ever change at GM.
  3. McNamara is also the idiot that decided to make the T-bird into a four-seater when the car(two seat version) had out-sold the Corvette almost 3 to 1.He also became Secretary of Defense and ran the war in Viet Nam.
  4. Precisely-We aren't talking about other makes.
  5. 59 Bel-Air 4-door with a I-6 was 3600lbs as a base model. Advertised weight of the Malibu is 3,649 at the upper end(3400 lower end). Marketing bullshit at it's finest.
  6. What was bullshit is that they INTENTIONALLY pick that year car to do the test with. That old Chebby has a X-frame which were found to be vastly inferior in crash protection and side impacts and was superseded by the perimeter frame which is found on all of GM cars 65( I think) & later.The people putting this test on PURPOSELY chose the earlier car as they knew if they chose a car like a 70 full size GM car-the 09 Malibu would be wadded up like tin foil. So,yes-it is more GM bullshit.
  7. Wix is superior.Period.
  8. Absolutely.And it only to GM 61 years to get it right.
