Some of my favorites are not listed but they can't list all the great ones.
When I saw this I felt like I was at a funeral. I've always been a "buy American" guy and do wonder what the majority of Americans feel if they ever think about what has been happening to manufacturing in our country.

    Ya right if someone told me that even 5 years ago to buy American I would laugh at them. If gm had spent more time making there cars last longer and more reliable this would not of happened. My father when we were children had a ford touraus and that car was nothing but trouble so he saved up money and went and bough our first Honda. That car lasted for 13 years and had over 398,000 miles on it that start us buying honda, the most reliable cars we have owned now we have 4 hondas in the drive. Moral is people are watching the money now and more cautious with it so there not going to go buy a car from a place that is haveing problems and is not reliable. I am glad it happened maybe ford will wake up as well who knows.

    Well, a lot of those cars are from a much better time for GM, It makes me realize that GM's woes have been from within rather than consumer confidence. Too many brands building the same vehicle. The brands lost their identity long ago.

    I heard the Hummer brand is/ may have been sold to a co. in China.
    Which makes sense, since they'll be the next superpower.
    I refuse to argue with idiots, because people can't tell the DIFFERENCE!
