They were definitely. Even when I left my last pace GM and Ford were really making it hard for them ... not just because of their own financial situation - but they operated like bullies, they said do it our way or we'll go somewhere else ... I still think they got what they deserved. Just my opinion based on what I saw and experienced after 5 years in the auto industry ... wish niner was hear to throw around another opinion ....

if I could drive off the lot under 17 grand for a brand new tdi I would be super happy ... the fuel cost savings alone would be worth it ... if i get 28 in her civic i could get close to 48 in a new tuned tdi ... thats a lot of fuel

i knew a lot of people that drove hyundais, and they were all junk. not one of them had a tranny go past 75k. thats usually about a year after the warranty expires.

Re: Detroit auto show *** pic!
some of our dealers are matching the rebate here, I'm trying to trade in my old zj 5.2l for a new Jeep Wrangler, so after the rebate I should get it for about 11K or so. I'm having trouble making it happen cause the dodge dealers that are offering it dont carry jeeps.

Re: Detroit auto show *** pic!
they're trying to get gas hogs off the road and boost the economy at the same time. The program is already out of money. Supposedly more will be added.
I like the idea of this program but the one thing they should have done is restricted it to new gm, ford, and chrysler vehicles. No sense in sending this money to japan.

At the end of the day all of the profit goes back to Japan/Korea.
