If you think THAT was unnecessary and meant to incite, then so is almost every post on this board.

I like how GM's recall was conveniently announced right after the Chile earthquake, so that it gets buried in the headlines.

So you're claiming that they waited on purpose for a huge disaster to announce it ?

So what did Toyota wait for...several deaths and injuries ? Oh and that $100 million savings ?

I can guarentee that GM did not "wait" for a disaster to put out a recall. This was in the works for years. Knowing how most car companies operate, they wait until the government gets involved and forces them to recall something or force a recall themselves if the cost to replace X number of units in the field later on will be too excessive.

What the motherfucking hell does Obama have to do with the Cobalt recall?

Really? I know there's a lot of crosstalk here. Some of it is so fucking stupid, it's hard not to point out, I guess.

You remember the bailout where GM took all the money from the govt?

Yeah, so now it is jokingly called "Government Motors" and Obama (being that he is head of the govt) is the head of it.
