3800 GM

true sales are what matter, ...... to the company and its employees, most of the greatest cars were not mass produced, and did not bring much income because of intal cost, or not being in high demand at the time, so that throws that out
my thinking is if its not a gm go import..... for the most part, excptions to every rule
3 pontiacs no probs, 2 fords replaced 2 motors in one,and almost every luxuary feature and expensive abs and air bag replacements
fuck everyone else
go GM!!!!!!!!!!!!!

1 word... ecotec .... those little motors are making crazy power
But I'm glad the focus is still primarily in making V8 enginesNothing like a nearly 500rwhp (w/headers) 427 factory smallblock

Why do you guys keep mentioning engines? Is this the only thing GM can do right?
Shit, ford ressurects companies (bought Jaguar, Aston Martin, and Volvo as they were goin under, and made them into huge successes), made volvo the manufacturer of the safest cars in the world, created the most used differential (even by GM who couldn't figure it out on their own), and patented the FWD tranny that eliminates torque steer (this was a few years ago, and yet GM's still suffer). This is all off the top of my head, I can go further in.

You brought up engines...
DIDN'T involve a smallblock v8?
ecotec doesn't involve smallblock v8s (solstice I believe uses the ecotec motor)
Perhaps you need to reword your origional question ....
lol... unless something's changed recently... isn't Ford junk bond status also?
Regardless... you seem to have created the thread with the motive of trying to create a flame war ...
And FYI Ford's not doing too well w/Jaguar... the S-Type is a POS ... The Station wagon isn't selling, the 2006 models are getting pretty poor reviews, and the latest redesign looks like ass...

Interesting argument, it still doesn't show anything GM did good recently that didn't involve an engine.
Each company has their own engine that was good in one way or another. Shit, volvo has engines that lasted for well over 500k without any major repairs. Then there is the mod4.6 used in lots of cruisers, trucks, police interceptors, that sees thousands of hours of hard work without a hickup.
There is a reason the Ford Crownvic with the sohc4.6 is the most widely used police car out there.
