An important message from Troy Clarke, President, GM North America

[Stingr69]

Did any of you guys get this message from Troy Clarke, President of GM North America? I got this email this morning:

Dear Mark XXXXX,

As you may know, GM is using an expedited, court-supervised process to accelerate the reinvention of our company. At the core of that reinvention is a commitment that we will put the customer first in all that we do — starting with great cars, trucks and crossovers, and the best sales and service experience possible. We want to earn your trust in several ways, including:

GM Dealers — They are very much open for business and ready to meet your sales and service needs. And even though we are seeking buyers for our Saturn and Saab brands, have just announced the selection of a buyer for the HUMMER brand, and have decided to eventually phase out Pontiac, those dealerships also remain open and ready for service. The bottom line is service for GM vehicles will always be available through authorized GM retail and service facilities by GM-trained Goodwrench experts, with Genuine GM Parts on hand.

GM Vehicles — At this, the most important moment in the history of our company, our dedication to high-quality, fuel-efficient and outstanding-value vehicles has never been greater. Purchase a new GM product, and we stand behind it with a U.S. government-backed,1 comprehensive 100,000-Mile/5-Year Powertrain Limited Warranty.2 Combined with Roadside Assistance and Courtesy Transportation Programs, it is the Best Coverage in America. As I said before, our GM dealerships are very much open for business, and banks and credit unions are lending and continue to offer some of the best rates available to qualified buyers. To find information about GM dealerships in your area, please visit GM.com/vehicles/dealer.

General Motors — For over 100 years, GM has fueled America's passion for the automobile. Propelled by the spirit and commitment of our people, we will become the New GM, a company that makes Americans proud, and one that can compete successfully with anyone in the world. All of us at GM are confident that we will emerge a leaner, stronger company for you, offering the most compelling vehicles possible from our Chevrolet, Buick, GMC and Cadillac brands.

Thank you for your interest in our GM vehicles. As we move forward, I invite you to stay up to date on our promising new future by visiting GMreinvention.com.

Sincerely,

Troy A. Clarke
Group Vice President
President, GM North America

I knew about the US government backing up the GM warranty but I did not know it was a 100,000 Mile/5 Yr Powertrain Warranty. Pretty good coverage if you ask me. This is probably old news but I like the sound of it now that I am paying attention to it. The dates for the coverage are sales between March 30 and July 31, 2009. I am picking mine up today so this is good news.

-Mark.

Yup...got this e-mail this morning. (Not sure how GM got my e-mail address though???) I haven't given it to anyone, not even my dealer.

[2002b4c]

I got one also.

[Lee9710]

Same here..........but never gave my email address out either

[Hemlawk]

I'll have to check my email, even though I've never bought a car from GM.

[OrangeCruSSh]

Yeah I got this as well. I'm assuming they got my email when I registered for the GM credit Union discount program. Or...I hate to say this...God forbid...this site sold our email addresses... Not implying anything moderators..just sayin'. Please don't flame me.

If you set up the monthly newsletter regarding the camaro a few months ago, then that would be how they have your email, otherwise no earthly idea. I got the same letter this morning. My welcome packet was sent to my moms house in a state I have never lived in and at an address I have never used or have ever given to anyone.

[JPAYORK]

I also got this email from "Your GM Team". I read about half of it and deleted it.

[FenwickHockey65]

Yup.

[tjd24]

Got an email as well - I assume if we registered our email for Camaro info on the launch site they took those - probably any contact with GM they'll consolidate the email addresses for marketing.

Some communication and positive reinforcement that GM cares about our business is OK with me - just don't over-do it...

[LSP2010]

i got that

[WhoDat24]

i got that too.. i think its because i signed up for a thing at autotrader.com about camaros.. now i get spam emails from all these dealerships. not a big deal, i probably asked for it, but hey, it held me over till my camaro got here.
