Big Jim, I am not necessarly pro union, nor am I against foriegn made cars; I have a toyota and a hyundai in my herd as well as a jeep, saturn, and a ford. I bought each of them for their own reasons. The guy I spoke with on this subject is not a disgruntled union worker; he is a trusted friend who I spent 24 years in the military with. He worked for GM here the last 4 years as a non-union supervisor and bailed when he saw the hand writing on the wall. In fact he stated that he has never seen such a nightmare of a work environment that GM and the Unions have created in the work place. He also thinks GM knows exactly what needs to be done to get back on track, however it's hard to remodel a house when it's burning down around you. Will they survive? I hope so; but there is indeed a quality control issue in Mexico that needs to be handeled before I can honestly advise anyone that I care about to purchase a GM vehicle. Vr...
