(Funny how J D Powers dissagrees with your statement.....quite a few GM products are far more reliable than Mercedes....and hold the top 10 best slots....)

I never said that MB is a reliable car, I guess that's why more people jumps ship to high performance and reliable cars like Lexus. I also never said that GM cars are less reliable... We as consumers speak loudly as far as choices for our money, unfortunately GM does not make cars that consumers want right now. Number speaks for itself, GM stock drops 40% in 12 months, GM is closing down 12 plants... I feel sad for all of my friends who work for GM. Will Ford and Chrysler be next? Only time would tell. The truth is, in my opinion, we are now competing in the global market, 30-40 yrs ago "made in USA" was king, just because nobody could make the products that we made, so there was nothing to compare to, now people have more choices and consumers are smarter and better educated. My company bends backward to please customers for "sustainable" business and so far it's working. We quickly pull products off market if customers don't want them , we only work on project with customer's needs in mind. The years when IBM and Bell Lab worked on "blue sky" projects are gone... Lesson to be learned
