Do bailouts make a company more sober in their operations? In a perfect world it would. But, Gov Motors just recalled 4000 Sonic automobiles ( I have no idea what these things look like). Seems to be a brake problem, defective?, no. they forgot to install them.



As a former Ford customer, I'm shocked that GM would do this!


Of course, when I worked at a Ford dealership in Galesburg, IL back in 1991, we had a batch of Mustang Convertibles come in that the Illinois Lottery was awarding, and every single one of them came in with non-functional cooling systems. The engine was there, the radiators were there, but they hadn't put ANY of the hoses to connect the system together, and of course, no antifreeze either. What was that saying "QUALITY IS JOB 1!"
