Outside of a Jeep Cherokee I purchased in 1992, my garage has been filled with Pontiac Grand Prix GXP's and Chevrolet Trucks. Notwithstanding current recall issues, the GM products I have owned have been outstanding.
However, GM, with deep financial issues as the 2008 financial crisis hit Uncle Sam, the company made decisions which I strongly opposed. There were three main issues that were prominent in my disgust, and they are as follows:
* GM embraced the decision to take government funding, fully understanding the conditions that were associated with the acceptance, which centered around green energy initiatives based on global climate change, which is the greatest hoax of all time.
* GM made the decision to jettison the proud and iconic Pontiac Motor Division. ending production in 2010. The decision was heavily influenced by a young team assembled by President Obama ill-equipped for such consult. These folks, who would not know a Grand Am from a Dodge Dart, had little appreciation for the American muscle car history and were economic imbeciles.

* Having put themselves in a poor position, the company had little choice than to play a role as a campaign supporter for President Obama, who was actively plotting against the long term success of the company by forcing the company to meet energy standards that limit the long term profitability of the company. Remember Osama Bin Laden is dead but General Motors is alive?
Well, this longtime GM customer is not going to take that lying down.
What little hair I have left remains on fire over the demise of Pontiac. In addition, any company supporting the most destructive President in the history of America must be penalized, and the revenues for that penalty must be financial.
A numerical figure for the penalty I have assessed General Motors is approximately $35,000. It is levied in the form of a 2014 Ford Explorer XLT.
