Don't know about other parts of the world but here when people think about American cars then one of the first thing come in their mind is 'V8' hence people think they are gas guzzler. Actually their V8 gives pretty decent mileage (y)

Salman, you hit the proverbial nail on the head. One of the reasons that contributed to US automakers current misery is this very image that you mentioned. They are working hard to change it though; by actually offering better products rather than just a PR campaign.

@riz_

Most of the time its all about perception that has made things worse for big three; GM specifically.

No one is saying here that "Toyota is Toyota".

I can't decide which i love most:s

wik_a (wik_a) 2009-01-27 15:05:00 +0500 #14

^ lol

Well I was amazed to see the figures keeping in mind the Gas Guzzler term.

nabz1001 (nabz1001) 2009-01-27 17:46:00 +0500 #15

well, major difference is GM people LIE!, moreover, they are failing coz they deliberately make plastic cars with faulty parts so that people spend more money repairing it in their dealerships, thats why people have no more trust on their vehicles, GM cars are absolute rubbish!

Storm (Storm) 2009-01-27 18:44:00 +0500 #16

i don't believe the stats given by these guys, afterall these are the same muppets who said that the old shape/C5 Z06 could give 19/28 (c/h), which is absolute bollocks.

this ad says it all:

Figures I've presented are EPA estimated, not the ones estimated by manufacturers themselves.

@Storm
Loved the video. So true.
