GM regained a some of those dealers because they were forced to, my dealership included

Al, face it, Ford was better prepared for the collapse than the other 2, PERIOD. Maybe you're right, maybe it IS image but again, just another area where GM fails...more of the same. BTW, those debt relief commercials are completely different compared to this. Also, you're trying to make the comparison of Ford getting bailout money because the banks they used EVENTUALLY got bailout money?

C'mon....really man? The deal was cut in 2006 with those banks/investment firms, Citi,Goldman and J.P. didn't get bailout $$$ until years later. MAYBE you can make the argument that since Ford had a revolving credit door and still had fund tied up with those firms in '09 you could make the argument they took "bailout" money but that's a big maybe. And yes, the government is an organized crime organization, we're not talking about banks right now so deflecting to that topic is irrelevant.

Now I'm not one of those 'tards that says I'm never going to buy a GM product because of the bailout...however I can understand why people feel that way. I just won't buy a product with that f'in 3.6 motor in it

. Three have come in for timing chains in the last month and a half....baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad things happen when those chains snap on those motors.
