GM Planning to Close Oshawa Assembly
- Thread starter joesregalproject

I read this entire blog with a high degree of interest. Many valid points were made and as a long time GM fan, it got me thinking about the reported reasoning for GM to close these plants.
My household has four drivers ( one male, three females) . ALL of us drive a GMC/Chevy pickup and my wife drives a Chevy Trailblazer. We are not exactly farmers or laborers or whatnot, we just appreciate the style or utility of these types of vehicles. There is not a sedan or station wagon in the mix anywhere. I do have a Camaro, and several El Caminos and a GBody Cutlass (that I might just rob the drivetrain out of it and scrap the rest).
It all looks like GM has legitimate reasoning for dumping certain body styles ( AND, Ford has already began leading the way)
Everyone who said the GM's advertising is lacking is also Spot On! GM should take a page or two from Chrysler's advertising strategy ( I am not a fan of Chrysler cars and trucks, but their commercials are cool)
Kinda glad I updated my truck earlier this year to a Used 2013 Sierra. I, like many of you, cannot see any good reason to buy a new vehicle at current prices, only to lose half the value in a few short years!.
The only brand new vehicle I ever bought was a 2005 Harley Fatboy and shoot, a 2018 Fatboy has almost the same MSRP!
the quality is still there, my truck does do some truck stuff I use it to tow, a lot!
I hope this isn't the demise of GM, I hope they get their collective heads out of their collective asses and bring back the jobs!

I'm with you on this one. I have a pay as you go phone, that stays in the car unless I'm out on the bike. If someone needs to reach me, they have my house number. Do not like cell phones and refuse to carry one around.
