Saving GM (Chevy)? My opinion.

I’ve heard a lot of ideas about how the government is bailing out GM and the other U.S. automakers, but I believe that perhaps they have the ability to save themselves. How?

Here’s how:

And I escaped that with a bruised knee.

I believe if Chevy or GM could market the safety of even the bottom of the line cars (see the wrecked Cavalier above) then perhaps people would be more willing to buy them.

They talk a lot about fuel efficiency or how some of the cars compare against Honda or Toyota…I just don’t think that’s the way to go. I couldn’t compare a Chevy to a Toyota (other than they are both cars). However, if they told stories (with pictures and testimonials) about how people escaped bad accidents (I was hit by an 18 wheeler) then maybe people would be more inclined to purchase the cars.

It wasn’t enough to entice me to purchase another Chevy, because I had too many problems pre-accident with the car to have to deal with it again.
