Same with pickups. SUV sales are in the toilet for everyone. Except the small SUV's. Chevy has been building junk since the 60's. Brand loyalty is rapidly evaporating. Their market share is the incredible shrinking woman. Chevrolet excited folks with the prototype concept car the "Volt" and then the Harvard MBA's at GM redesigned it from a 400 mile range to 40 miles and they wonder WHY the queue to order them evaporated overnight. NEVER buy a car designed by a Harvard MBA! |

"they would actually say in the weekly sales meetings, “do anything, say anything, promise anything, lie if you have to, just get the people on paper, we’ll worry about the problems later”. “Attorney Barry Weathers calls Bill Heard “a cancer on the community” and says the problems reflect the company’s corporate culture. ” "the largest and nicest looking dealers are the ones that treat you poorly."

Chrysler kind of cleaned that up some, but screwing people has been their strong suit for the past 75 years or so.That's why I drive a HONDA. |
