Reality Sucks, says GM... so does being unfit, in debt, stuck in traffic and paying through the wahoo for gasoline

All Vauxhall/GM cars are shit whichever continent you buy them in. But the americans don't care as long as they don't have to walk their lard arses any further than the parking lot.

Wow if you spent $27000 on a bike , it would look a lot sexier than a chevvy, would be faster, and would get you fitter and would save in gym membership, and travel time, plus you'd attract that woman out of her car and onto a bike, oooohhhhh women on road bikes, now you're talkin'.

To Dave atkinson,bloody brilliant with the giant poster. Fantastic, never give up the bike for nothing.

Actually I quite like our (2nd hand) family Zafira

but I much prefer my bike...

snappy comeback from Giant - thanks to @Tbag75 for the link!

McBadger - I've rented a few GM cars when I've been in the US and they were, without exception, all horrible things that were clearly built down to a price. The worst was a Chevrolet Malibu, a truly nasty car that rattled and vibrated at 70mph on the highway due to its use of the cheapest quality components and thin sheet metal. It was also sluggish, noisy, cornered like a blancmange and was uncomfortable. Almost as bad though was the SUV, which a colleague and I had to accept as we were late and the Ford we'd ordered had been given to someone else. The SUV had incredibly vague steering and required constant input to be kept in a straight line. Various family members have European Vauxhalls and these cars are, without exception, also built down to a price and it shows with their nasty interiors, tinny doors and generally soggy handling. I've even driven one of the Korean built Chevrolets, an SUV, which we rented for a work trip and like the US model it felt stodgy, bland, slow and had indifferent cornering.

Remember that a young Ralph Nader's career was launched when he wrote 'Unsafe at any speed' a book demolishing the poor safety standards of US cars of the day. The book focussed its venom on Chevrolet's notorious Corvair, an ill handling vehicle that combined a rear-mounted engine with cheap suspension that developed an appalling reputation (all deserved) for roll-over accidents as well as spontaneously combusting.

Better no car than a GM and I was convinced of that long before this stupid ad campaign was launched. I'll stick to my Ridgeback until I can find time to buy a proper car

I see even after being bailed out by the US taxpayer these people still want to destroy anything in their way that is probably better for society:

If I lived in America, quite frankly I would by now be able to afford to buy and run a very powerful muscle car like an old Corvette or something. In fact, probably I wouldn't be into cycling any more

Unfortunately the US do not pay through the Wahoo for gasoline. Not yet at least...

Feel free to call GM and voice your displeasure. 1.877.221.9343

Let's be honest here, GM cars are for losers. The range available in Europe for example is pretty much inferior to that of its major US rival Ford, not to mention the German and Japanese competition. GM bought Saab, messed it up and got rid of it. I'm in the process of looking for a new car and the plummeting values of GM products the instant they leave the showroom speaks volumes about their perceived quality. The secondhand value of an Astra of the same age as a comparable Focus model for example reveals how market forces come into play, and not to GM's advantage. GM cars fare even worse when compared to VW or Honda products in terms of holding value. That the ad execs resort to such poorly thought out campaigns just shows how far off market demand the firm has become.

I'd rather continue having no car and using my bicycle fleet for local trips than buy a GM one.

I suppose there's only so many pitchforks and banjos you can carry on a bike.

Looks like he's hiding his face from her, she's a stalker for sure.

That's a grin that says "nice ass" if ever I saw one!

She's clearly stalking the poor lad.
