Good lord. I seriously thing GM may be finished.

I, somehow, found myself in the middle of one of those big 'ol truck conversations with my redneck brother-in-law. He and one of his friends were discussing how shitty Chevrolet and GMC HD trucks are compared to the F250s and F350s. Sadly, I was right there with them. I have driven several of these big 'ol trucks over the years and I can definitely tell a major quality difference between Ford and Chevrolet.

Sick a fork in 'em. They're done.

That is a little deceiving. Half the cars returned under the guarantee program were for the same model with a higher trim level. I am actually guilty of that as I had signed the paperwork to purchase a new Granma that was a trim level below my old car, but I did not get the car off the dealers lot when I figured out that my wussy butt could not handle the lesser trim level. So I pulled the car back on the lot and picked up an LS model that was exactly like my old car, minus the power passenger seat.

The KEY to the article is this:

What wasn’t heavily advertised however was the fact that the money-back guarantee program was only available for buyers that opted out of an optional $500 discount from the purchase price.

Which means that those people who took another $500 off the price couldnt return the car if they wanted to. Wonder who many of THOSE would have? That might have made it 50%!
