General Motors
wants billions of dollars from tax payers, and for the first time they
have communicated directly to consumers and tax players to explain why.
In open letter which was posted in Automotive News,
GM candidly apologized for disappointing consumers, and letting tax
payers down. GM had also pledged to do better and overcome its many
loses that resulted from the economic downturn.
GM acknowledges that they are running out of cash, and the loan has
become a necessary safety net that will prevent the company from going
down in flames, and in turn will help the economy in the long run and
will prevent further costs by tax payers in the future. Hartford Chevrolet dealers also finds the loan as a vital lifeline to ensure that their business has a future as well.
The letter exposed what many already knew, which was that many
decisions by GM were flawed. Focusing so much on building trucks and
SUVs was a mistake according to many at Chicopee Chevrolet dealers,
while other brands offered more diverse product lineups. With sales
falling 41% in November, their current lineup has certainly proved that
it isn’t enough to entice new car shoppers.
While there’s plenty to be disappointed about when it comes to GM’s
products and performance in recent years, the automaker stresses that
it has made huge improvements - many of which have been evident to car
buyers at Orlando Chevrolet dealers.
Among these improvements is quality. GM has shown that it can improve
reliability and quality, which is proven by numerous accolades and
reports recently. Additionally, the automaker is shifting its lineup
more to cars and crossovers, which is what consumers like those
visiting Louisville Chevy now demand.
The collapse of GM may very well deepen the American economy into
the recession it’s currently in. GM’s letter is an attempt to express
how dire it is that the bailout goes through. The automaker also
expressed its commitment to the American people and to ongoing
restructuring that New Orleans Chevrolet dealers believe will eventually help the automaker become profitable again.
