More on GM sucks
Matt Helms, one of the auto writers for the Detroit Free Press recently bought a 2005 Honda Accord.
I sent him this email:
Hello,
I read your piece today "U.S. carmakers ignore many buyers' needs" on
the web and had a couple of different reactions.
The sense of entitlement that seems to come across from the emailers that railed against your choice of cars was astonishing. They felt that they had no duty as employees to build a good car, just that you should buy their car based on where you live. (does that mean that since I live in San Diego, I should buy a VW since they're built in Mexico?). If these people were so concerned about auto manufacturing jobs, they'd be storming the design & engineering centers demanding to know why they keep coming up with such droll stuff using 10-20 year old technology.
His article on buying the Honda is here and the followup a few days later from more of the mindless masses is here.
