Ford has a bigger hole to climb out of, and still do. Not many of Ford's new products are performing at the levels of GM's new vehicles, but the perception is still that Ford > GM.
I guess being here makes me more of a nut-hugger for GM, but when most, if not every single question on here had a negative tone to it, I think it's more along the lines that most people on here just don't like them. And that's fine.
I just don't like the connotation that because I like a GM vehicle that I automatically like ALL GM vehicles, and will support them to the end of the internet.

Funny you say this. Without bringing anything up, a guy I was speaking with this morning said he would never support gm or mopar because they took bailout money. He said he would stand behind ford for doing it without any help. He drives a Toyota Tacoma.
Why wouldn't you expect a sort of negative tone? I actually see that as people caring about the company's well-being and hopes of them growing and developing into something bigger and better. Would you rather questions like, "How did you make such a great motor for xxx?" or "Where do you come up with your lovely interior layouts?" etc etc. That does nothing for company growth. Constantly challenging them to bring a better product to the market will only strengthen them and help them to better control the market.
