Time for Jeff Bridges to dump Hyundai

Err. Sure..Tell GM chairman to talk to just about every other tech company that is surviving/thriving with both domestic and foreign “labor”. How about bringing something to the table that other people haven’t done, like innovation.[/quote]

Errr….

So….another non-answer.[/quote]

Paddy: How is that a non-answer? Because it’s not your answer?

[/quote]

It is a non-answer as it doesn’t address what Americans can do, personally, to help the American auto industry during this current crisis.

And the “new” GM has already pledged innovation so it is a moot point until we see if they can pull it off.

So why don’t you do something positive instead of complaining about the past.

Taken From the Associated Press 01/31/09:

“In an interview with The New York Times, Bruce Springsteen says he shouldn’t have made a deal with Wal-Mart. This month, the store started exclusively selling a Springsteen greatest-hits CD.”

“Some fans were critical because Springsteen has been a longtime supporter of worker’s rights, and Wal-Mart has faced criticism for its labor practices. Springsteen’s team didn’t vet the issue as closely as it should have, and that he “dropped the ball on it,” he told the Times………”.

Springsteen went on to say: “It was a mistake. Our batting average is usually very good, but we missed that one. Fans will call you on that stuff, as it should be.”

Respectfully ask Jeff Bridges to take a cue from Bruce Springsteen and junk the Hyundai (HIE-YUN-DIE) ads.

One thing we have learned is that GM (and big companies for that matter) are great at marketing and “pledging”, but execution is an entirely different thing. We’ll definitely wait and see and decide if it’s same old same old. Ironic though that GM ALMOST was the first car company operating in the U.S. among domestic and foreign labels that was going to be the first company IMPORTING CARS FROM CHINA.

Why don’t you do something positive and put your money where your mouth is? Let’s see pictures of a 2009/2010 GM/Ford/Chrysler car that you just bought/financed/leased or whatever that people do to acquire a car or two or three of them in the past 2-4 months.

I’d like to see you put down a nice 40 grand on a Camaro SS and see pics of it (after the dealer markups)…(Just make sure you don’t get a stick yet, otherwise you might end up with one with a broken driveshaft until they sort out that minor production glitch with their 3rd party vendor….)

Hey flu: I would absolutely LOVE to….if I could just find a decent job. They seem to have all gone over-seas.

Why don’t you loan me the money and teach me a lesson ?

In the meantime:

Follow the link and respectfully ask Jeff Bridges to get in touch with his roots by abandoning the demoralizing Hyundai voice-overs.

No lease, loan or down payment required. Just a few moments of your time buddy.

Paddy: Not a moot point at all. You have to learn from the past in order to avoid the same mistakes in the future.

As to GM’s pledge of innovation: They said it, now they have to do it.

Until such time as they deliver quality products at competitive prices things will remain the same.

You conspicuously avoid dealing with any questions about the past because to do so would be a tacit admission as to the fatal mistakes that organized labor and GM made, and I can’t help help but detect the stance of union worker from you (and Scarlet/Rt.66 for that matter). Nothing wrong with that, of course, but it’s obviously creating a bias as to your answers.

The American consumer owes GM nothing. Period. GM, on the other hand, if they plan to survive, has to prove their worth to the American consumer and they have to do it year in and year out from here on out.

Are Jeff Bridges’ voice overs really “demoralizing”? Demoralizing to whom? I don’t pay a lot of attention to commercials (thank God for Tivo), but I don’t recall being demoralized when I watched the Hyundai commercial. Leave The Dude alone. How he makes a buck is his business and as long as he’s not breaking any laws, what he does is entirely up to him. As an American, you should respect that.

Besides, if you don’t have a job, why are you wasting time here sparring with me and FLU when you should be out looking for work?
