I was reading the latest Consumer Reports Magazine and I saw all the Toyotas and Lexuses with red circle next to their reliability rankings. GM is up too but mostly average and some above average rankings. I personally dont know if a mid level employee bad mouthing Toyota is going to have much of an effect. As far as GM remaining No.1 until 2015, I wish I could share is optimism. Toyota just has too much money they can put to use to sustain their growth. I think 2010 sounds more likely.

Anyone knows if a coffin would actually fit ? If so this could be a cool hearse for some rich funeral home in Beverly Hills. :lol:

I thought so too. That seems to be the only FORD car that is actually doing well.

Folks you are forgetting one thing. The two most popular Japanese cars are the 4 cylinder versions of Camry and Accord. People who buy these two cars could care less about HP. All they want is a refined, dependable if somewhat bland appliance transportation that will take them from POINT A to B. I bet most of the CamCord customers don't even know how much HP the engine produces. Incidently, I think the Accord actually gained 6 HP. It is now rated at 166 HP. The V6 version is rated at 244 HP. So not all Japanese cars actually lost power. Nissan is the one company that seems unaffected by the new rating. I have a hunch that Nissan is underrating the Titan. Most comparos put the Titan's accleration equal to or better than the Dodge Ram HEMI. FOG Where are you ? I am beginning to miss your posts.

Some financial analysts are speculating that 06 will also be a downer for the big three. 2007 will be the year when hopefully things will turn around for GM. I am not very optimistic about FORD though.

Good point, Alpha your argument makes sense. But isn't the 06 MY cars already on the dealer lot. Or maybe GM hasnt ramped up 06 production yet?
