In other news, Amazon invested $700 million in Rivian.

I know GM wants a piece of that action too but they've got a cash problem.

GM has a quality and competition problem.

GM has a quality and competition problem.

I won't argue the competition angle, but Consumer Reports doesn't seem to think they have a quality problem judging by their list of the best American-branded cars, trucks and SUVs from 01/02/2019.

https://www.consumerreports.org/cars...s-suvs-trucks/

These are the top-rated cars from their class. You may not agree but they do have a pretty extensive testing regimen:

Subcompact = Chevy Sonic
Compact = Chevy Cruze
Compact Electric = Chevy Bolt
Large Sedan = Chevy Impala
Luxury Midsized Sedan = Cadillac XTS
Sports = Chevy Corvette
Large SUV = Chevy Suburban
Luxury SUV = Buick Envision

That's a pretty impressive lineup, especially from Chevrolet. And I'll admit I'm a Chevy fan...we currently own 3. They have been the most trouble free cars we've ever owned.

Cruze, Impala, and XTS from that list have been cancelled. Buick Envision is made in China. The Sonic is on thin ice for cancellation.

I've been a Chevy guy my whole life. Waited for the 2019 GM trucks to come out before making a purchasing decision...and wow. What a fail fest. The bean counters must be doing their design. Chevy is still advertising on their past achievements.

They also shit-canned the Volt which (according to the previously cited Consumer Reports) is/was the most reliable car that GM produced. It makes no sense at all.

Also from a long-time GM fella that was brought up generationally on GM in the farmlands of yore.
