But this doesn't mean GM is the BEST. They already burned their bridge with me by building unreliable garbage, but that's just my experience and I'm only one in 7+ billion so what's it matter.

Yeah, 'cause your one experience trumps millions of other postive experiences.
If one unreliable example was all it took, there would be no manufacturers left to like, as they ALL have had their share of turds. I've had bad Hondas and Toyotas. And completely reliable Fords and GMs (including my current Volt).
Gotta love people that can admit that they are closed minded. Makes it so much easier to know who to completely ignore.
GM should never have been rescued. Same with Chrysler - both times. The US told the auto industry: "It is ok to suck and make poor quality vehicles for decades. No need to worry about over spending on labor and employing bad management. We'll save you if you need it."

Except the rescue came about due to the failure of the BANKING industry that threatend to put MILLIONS out of work. Had nothing to do with GM or Chrysler making bad cars (Hell, GM was in the middle of a product rennaisance and turnaround at the time), and Ford almost got caught up in it, too, except that they had just "mortgaged the house" in order to get credit. See all manufacturing industries run on credit to get the materials to build their product. Credit had dried up with the banking failure and that threatened the major industries, of which auto manufacturing was the biggie. Bush's advisors rightly saw that if we let the banking failure kill off the automakers, we'd have a domino effect where the suppliers and local economies would fail heavily.
Meh...used to like GM...but their car line has really gone downhill and when test driving Silverados vs. F150s we went with the Ford. Only car they have that looks remotely interesting is the SS...and that is a platform that Holden has been selling in Australia for years.
