General Motors. Generally Dumb.

so i read about
this in the paper today and it just really made me mad. Why? Why oh why would a car company so desperate for car sales be willing to give out money just to make money? an overwhelming majority of the cars that qualify for this deal are either SUV's or large sedans (basically all the vehicles with the worst gas mileage they make).
rather than spending money on reimbursing Californians and Floridians as gas prices increase, why not invest that money in future cars? Hybrid technology, hydrogen fuel cells, alternative energy, etc.? Not only would those new cars be better for the environment and peoples' checkbooks, but those models would be available to people nationwide, not just in two states.
that is how you should attract customers.
let it be known that i never plan on purchasing a general motors vehicle in my life. nor any American car for that matter.
i'm with ya all the way there. American cars are absolutely horrible quality in comparison with what the Japanese and the Germans are churning out of their factories. Plus the Japanese and Germans are actually making products consumers WANT to drive. I don't understand why GM doesn't seem to get it.
