The vehicles to save Detroit. per Car & Driver
Dodge Ram vs. Chevrolet Silverado vs. Ford F-150
Long but interesting read. The Silverado falls into third from last year. But are these really the vehicles that will save the Big 3? http://editorial.autos.msn.com/artic...topart=pickups |

No they are not and I am not really surprised I dont like the silverado more than those trucks IMO.

This article was written by Car and Driver? Never mind. I am surprised they haven't just condemned the entire American Auto industry by themselves. C and D is pathetic. As far as these vehicles saving the Big Three? No, but sure helps. Japan has tried several times to build a real truck, and failed. :flag2: If people continue to read and believe what they read about American cars in such fishwraps as Car and Driver etc., then the US auto industry has a real problem. It would be nice to see some of the media tell things as they are for a change. Toyota recalls? What are those? Stupid media. Go Detroit!:flag2:

I started to, then stopped because I realized it was C/D. My bad if they actually didn't like the foreign junk. I must admit its my fault for being biased against C/D. I had a subscription to it for 32 years. It was getting so I couldn't stand to read it anymore.Constant American Auto bashing while praising japan and germany. Just wasn't the same as it was years ago. Still don't care what they have to say though...just because.

Considering the silverado and F-150 outsold EVERY other vehicle in the united states (civic, camry, etc) I can definitely see how they are vital to the auto makers.

They're definitely important as GM makes the most profit off trucks. However, it's the volume cars (midsize/full size sedans, compacts, etc) that are going to have to save GM.

Wouldn't it be great if the Malibu sold in the same volume as the Silverado?
