    Anyone who thinks GM's quality sucks has by far lost it. All american and most foreign all have their "base" model cars that no one has taken the time to work the bugs out and they are slapped together and sold but I'm sure GM's top people are on top of things on these new camaros. I've had over 100 vehicles and I'm only 23 so everything has been 1990+ models and as much as I love imported cars I have NEVER seen anything that last as long as a chevy truck. I have NEVER torn a chevy up and I aint did a fuckin thing but ride out. Chevy the shit

    WRONG, take it from someone who knows how the car building business works. You are completely off. Let me give you an example so you won't go saying stupid shit anymore to embarrass yourself.

    In Huntsville, AL there is a huge factory plant owned by SIEMEN TECHNOLOGIES, not by Chrysler/Diamler. This factory makes engines, transmissions, radios, gauges, and a shit ton of other parts for every single Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep vehicle. So this is how it works, Siemen has a contract with C/D and they sell there shit they make for them at a set cost, so the whole idea for Siemens is to lower the price of manufacturing, labor, and parts for these parts. Basically Siemens works like a "wal-mart" in this manner sense they have the buying power here on a huge market. Siemens sends out a bid for the cheapest part of whatever they need. So for example my dad use to sell, and still does, the tiny radio lights that go in every Chrysler, Dodge, and Jeep vehicle, he use to sell them at .55 lamp. Then Siemens bid out the lamps to any company, and what came from that was a bunch of shitty cheap ass companies coming with there horrible shitty lights. So my dad had to lower the price of his lamps to .21 a lamp and had to get his manufacture to start making the quality of lamps worse to save money on there end as well. Then from there Siemen gives D/L the finished product (a whole radio) with the cheapest and worst quality bidded out parts. Now this is done in about EVERY SINGLE PART THAT IS IN YOUR AMERICAN MADE CAR. This is why pretty much all American made cars are pure junk, but GM is the worse about this and has a horrible reputation of having the worse quality of any manufacture, and yes I have seen this first hand, even in a corvette C5 hardtop, the fucking seatbelt holder broke 11 times in 3 months, the guy hated the shitty quality so bad he traded it in with 3 1/2 years left on his lease cause it was such a piece of shit. This is also one of the main reasons all American car companies are going dead broke.

    You're welcome for your class lesson today, now no more saying stupid shit.
