Fbodfather thanks for the info, as always much appreciated.

But with all due respect to you, the Asian automobile makers "out did" the US cars with the attention to detail and quality that the US makers didn't care or think they needed to worry about. Annual changes instead of quality started the American auto downfall. Funny thing is Quality Control was "born" in the USA. But like so many things, the foreign makers took it to heart and made it better. And it worked. GM, Chrysler and Ford talked the quality game with their advertising and marketing. But it was all talk, no show.

As stated earlier, foreign makers/dealerships also made the customer feel...well, like a "customer". (At least up until the last few years where Toyota dealers thought their s#@t didn't stink and are arrogant a$$holes.)

I feel sorry for the reputable GM dealerships who really cared about their customers and their communities. They have families, and employees, the suppliers, etc are going to be hurt big time. And with the economy reeling, I hope they somehow recover. I know all too well what it's like to be out of work and what I've done best for 30+ years is no longer needed...

"I am however, buying a Camaro-not to help GM out-but to re-live the past..somewhat." Agreed.
