A GM Hybrid for everyone who wants one... wow, that's ME!

I've been told GM is turning a corner...

I've seen commercials that state "we're making Hybrids for everyone that wants one"! Finally, I can trade my $50,000 Yukon in for a green car ...er, "blue" car. (Hmmm, not a good sign, GM has already made me blue as I've somehow become of the opinion that American cars are poor quality, low efficiency, over priced, boring boxes often emblazened with the moniker "GM".)

Deeply desiring finally to murder my inner cynic and return to living in my optimistically realistic inner skeptic, I decided to suspend my disbelief regarding GM--hopefully for good. After all, perhaps the recent ass-kicking in the market place has helped them augment their business model with an astonishing principle known as repentance. I'm so excited to love American cars again and trade my Korean and Scandanavian vehicles in for some I can proudly declare were "made in America", and which are as pleasurable to drive as these currently superior foreign vehicles.

I went to the GM website to find my new $10,000 Hybrid vehicle... nothing fancy, just a point-a-to-b'er with a jack for my two year old ipod. I was however discouraged to find that GM wants me to leverage my childrens future by financing $24,000,. and that in a "robust economy" as the United States, Inc. CEO is currently calling it--or as us regular folks call it, "a recession".

I thought, well, this must be a mistake. After all, they said a vehicle for every who wants one... not everyone who wants to pay too much for one. So, I thought I'd ask a quick question. I was further discouraged to find that there is no where to ask a question online... just a simple question. After wandering around the website for five more minutes than I intended to give them as a result of their marketing efforts, I decided it was time to vocalize my experience in a more social format. I look forward to GM bringing at least a part of what makes me proud of America back to the world stage. Perhaps tomorrow.
