Not true really. They may get a item a year before their counterpart but other than that features and add ons are about the same.

 

ok but wouldn't getting an item a yr early, make someone more interested in purchasing a new gm as opposed to a new chevy?

 

Well I should have said sometimes. It's like the new 3.6 direct injection V6. It has in fact been put in the CTS but it was offered a year before in the new Malibu. The. The Colbalts get the turbo'd ecotec, Pontiac's G5 dont, The new Camaro and the now base vette will get or allready have LS3 engines with 430+hp that is offered in no other car(closest thing is the new Pontiac G8 GXP but it is in fact not the same engine and dont put out the same power)

 

Have you turned on the news lately?
Clearly, it's GM or Chrysler.

Also, why did you join a Honda Civic Forum to ask a question like this?

 

Trust is definitely right. One is pretty much being taken over by the gov't and the other is only around cause Cerberus is keeping it around. God only knows why they want Chrysler.....guess it does open some American doors for them though....

Why do you want to know? Just wondering.....

 

my last few honda's have plastic intakes, i'm not defending american car companys but last week i went and drove a new fusion and focus and let me tell you ford has really stepped it up. and i saw someone post that american car company's haven't changed with the times aka big suv's ok honda and toyota still have them and the new insight is a joke i hated the way it drove. $23.995 and it only gets 40 highway and 43 city what a crock my 92 hatch got that and its over 25 years old hell my wifes 98 escort gets 39 highway. the big 3 have been brought down by the uaw plain and simple and greedy ceo's i read somewhere that the big 3 has to pay health insurance to retired autoworkers till they die hmmm no wonder they are going under.

 

I agree with you now. This thread is kinda old so my post you're quoting was before I noticed what's going on now.

My dad got a new Ford Explorer Sport Trac 2008, and it is MUCH nicer than his 2001 was. This is to be expected over a 7 year gap, but the difference is phenomenal.
