Is General motors really in bad financial shape ?

Congrats on the new ride!
We looked long and hard at the Subies befroe we bought our Audi allroad wagon last year. The Subaru is a good value IMHO........

My point about calling the employee discount program a scam was just what many of you discovered too - that many of the transaction prices are higher than under previous programs - it's an interesting marketing ploy - hats off to them for making it work and sound so good to the general public. Seems to me the best deals are on the Subies or some of the other more popular cars, where you might not have been able to get much of a discount before.............

Hey Gerard,

Sounds like you got taken for a ride. I don't think wipers and defrosters were considered options for the past several years. /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif Just kidding. Nice ride. A friend of mine has one and really likes it.

Oh that...... that is there fix to eliminate the ice build up as a result of poor wiper / hood design.... /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif Wonder if they include that with the cars that they sell in Florida and Texas.... /forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif

Good question. It's NY State law to have a rear window defroster but we are CHARGED for it as an option. /forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif /forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif

Ah yes, the old "Mandatory option" deal............yfor example, ou almost can't get a high line import without a sunroof anymore, even by special order..............yet it's still listed and charged for as an option..........
